An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-74669 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-2026-74669/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74669/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-74669","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74669/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-74669","record":{"aliases":["AZL-97091","BELL-CVE-2026-74669","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74669","GHSA-8jr6-vjx9-8g96","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-74669"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel IPVS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A stack out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel IPVS module allows attackers to potentially execute code or cause a denial of service via crafted ICMP errors.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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\nipvs: clear IPv4 options after rebasing tunnel ICMP errors\n\nip_vs_in_icmp() rebases an skb from the outer ICMP packet to the\nquoted original request before passing it to icmp_send().
