CVE-2026-74378

7.8 · HIGH
Published Aug 15, 2026 EPSS 0.14% (4th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-74378 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:

RDMA/rxe: Fix TOCTOU heap overflow in get_srq_wqe

get_srq_wqe() reads wqe->dma.num_sge from the shared receive queue

buffer, which is mapped into userspace. It validates num_sge against

max_sge, but then re-reads the same field to calculate the memcpy

size. A concurrent userspace thread can modify num_sge between

validation and use, causing a heap buffer overflow when copying the

WQE into qp->resp.srq_wqe.

Read num_sge into a local variable and use it for both the bounds

check and the size calculation.

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.
