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-2026-74748 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-2026-74748/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74748/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-74748","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74748/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-74748","record":{"aliases":["AZL-97733","BELL-CVE-2026-74748","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74748","GHSA-hf83-xv8x-wgq9","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-74748"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel netfilter","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in Linux kernel ipset allows local attackers to trigger a kernel panic and denial of service via concurrent garbage collection and swap operations.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"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\nnetfilter: ipset: fix refcount race between list:set GC and swap\n\n__ip_set_put_byindex() resolved the index to a set pointer under RCU,\nthen took ip_set_ref_lock in __ip_set_put() to decrement set-\u003eref.\nip_set_swap() holds that same lock while swapping both the ip_set_list\nslots and the two sets' ref counters, so it can interleave between the\ndereference and the lock acquisition, leaving the caller to decrement a\nset whose reference already moved to the other index and hit\nBUG_ON(set-\u003eref == 0). list_set_gc() reaches this from timer softirq,\nwhich the nfnl mutex does not serialize against swap: an expiring\nlist:set member calls list_set_del() -\u003e ip_set_put_byindex() while\nIPSET_CMD_SWAP runs on the referenced sets.\n\nResolve the index and decrement under ip_set_ref_lock, as ip_set_swap()\nalready does, keeping the refcount tied to the index rather than to a\nstale set pointer.\n\n  kernel BUG at net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_core.c:685!\n  Oops: invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN NOPTI\n  RIP: 0010:ip_set_put_byindex (net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_core.c:870)\n  Call Trace:\n   \u003cIRQ\u003e\n   list_set_del (net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_list_set.c:159)\n   set_cleanup_entries (net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_list_set.c:181)\n   list_set_gc (net/netfilter/ipset/ip_set_list_set.c:578)\n   call_timer_fn (kernel/time/timer.c:1748)\n   __run_timers (kernel/time/timer.c:1799 kernel/time/timer.c:2374)\n   run_timer_softirq (kernel/time/timer.c:2405)\n   \u003c/IRQ\u003e\n  Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"netfilter: ipset: fix refcount race between list:set GC and swap","id":"CVE-2026-74748","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"rseq: Prevent hard lockup on granted time slice extension","id":"CVE-2026-74749"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ipvs: revalidate ihl to prevent out-of-bounds access","id":"CVE-2026-74747"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-26","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-16","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A race condition in Linux kernel ipset allows local attackers to trigger a kernel panic and denial of service via concurrent garbage collection and swap operations.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74748/"}
