CVE-2026-74354

7.8 · HIGH
Published Aug 15, 2026 EPSS 0.12% (2th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-74354 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Take mmap_lock in zap_pages()

zap_vma_range() requires the owning mm's mmap_lock to be held.

Taking mmap_read_lock under arena->lock would AB-BA against

arena_vm_close() and arena_map_mmap(), both of which run with

mmap_write_lock held and then acquire arena->lock. Instead drop

arena->lock, mmget_not_zero() the vma's mm, take mmap_read_lock, and

re-resolve the vma via find_vma() since it may have been unmapped or

replaced while waiting.

Track processed vmls with a per-call generation in vml->zap_gen and

serialize zap_pages() callers with a new arena->zap_mutex so

concurrent callers on different uaddr ranges do not mark each other's

vmls processed before the zap is done.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
