It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-74648 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74648/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74648/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-74648","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74648/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-74648","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-74648","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74648","GHSA-m738-m8ph-wwcp","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-74648"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A missing length validation in the rtl8723bs Wi-Fi driver allows out-of-bounds reads, potentially causing crashes or information disclosure.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nstaging: rtl8723bs: validate monitor transmit frame lengths\n\nrtw_cfg80211_monitor_if_xmit_entry() removes the radiotap header and\nthen reads the 802.11 frame control field without checking that a base\n802.11 header remains.\n\nThe data path also pulls the calculated 802.11, QoS and SNAP header\nspan before confirming that the skb contains it.
