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-2026-74718 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-2026-74718/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74718/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-74718","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74718/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-74718","record":{"aliases":["AZL-97322","BELL-CVE-2026-74718","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74718","GHSA-67hf-fh94-4rj7","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-74718"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A missing reference release in the Linux kernel devlink reload path allows local attackers to cause a net namespace reference leak, potentially leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"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\ndevlink: fix net namespace reference leak in reload\n\ndevlink_nl_reload_doit() calls devlink_netns_get(), which returns a net\nwith a held reference.
