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-2026-74694 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-2026-74694/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74694/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-74694","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74694/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-74694","record":{"aliases":["AZL-97140","BELL-CVE-2026-74694","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74694","GHSA-9677-c9p4-rgm3","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-74694"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel NCSI","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN can trigger a heap out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel NCSI driver, leaking up to 64KB of kernel memory.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet/ncsi: fix heap OOB read in NCSI_CMD_SEND_CMD payload length\n\nncsi_send_cmd_nl() takes the number of bytes to copy from the\nattacker-controlled ncsi_pkt_hdr.length field of the in-band packet\nheader, while the source buffer is the NCSI_ATTR_DATA netlink\nattribute whose readable size is nla_len() - sizeof(ncsi_pkt_hdr).\nThe two length sources are never cross-checked: only\nnla_len() \u003e= sizeof(struct ncsi_pkt_hdr) is enforced.\n\nWith hdr-\u003elength set larger than the attribute payload (up to 65535\nagainst at most 2032 readable bytes), ncsi_cmd_handler_oem() copies\npast the end of the netlink attribute buffer with unsafe_memcpy(),\nleaking up to ~64KB of kernel heap memory into the transmitted NCSI\ncommand packet.
