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-2026-74687 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-2026-74687/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74687/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-74687","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74687/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-74687","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-74687","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74687","GHSA-x3hg-mqqh-m29v","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-74687"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel watchdog","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's at91sam9 watchdog driver allows attackers to cause denial of service or execute code during driver teardown.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"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\nwatchdog: at91sam9_wdt: prevent timer rearm during teardown\n\nat91_ping() rearms the watchdog timer from its callback. timer_delete()\nneither waits for a running callback nor prevents it from rearming the\ntimer, so probe failure or driver removal can leave the timer accessing the\ndevm-allocated at91wdt after it has been freed.\n\nUse timer_shutdown_sync() on both teardown paths.
