CVE-2026-74383

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

Overview

CVE-2026-74383 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.4 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.4, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

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

nvme-pci: fix out-of-bounds access in nvme_setup_descriptor_pools

nvme_setup_descriptor_pools() indexes dev->descriptor_pools[] using the

numa_node forwarded from hctx->numa_node by its single caller,

nvme_init_hctx_common(). On a non-NUMA kernel hctx->numa_node is

NUMA_NO_NODE (-1). Because the parameter was declared 'unsigned', the

value becomes UINT_MAX and the index walks off the array (sized to

nr_node_ids), faulting during nvme_alloc_ns() and leaving the namespace

without a /dev node.

Reproduces on any NVMe controller probed by a CONFIG_NUMA=n kernel:

BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff889101603d38

RIP: 0010:nvme_init_hctx_common+0x5a/0x190 [nvme]

Call Trace:

nvme_init_hctx+0x10/0x20 [nvme]

nvme_alloc_ns+0x9e/0xa10 [nvme_core]

nvme_scan_ns+0x301/0x3b0 [nvme_core]

nvme_scan_ns_async+0x23/0x30 [nvme_core]

Switch the parameter to int and fall back to node 0 when it is

NUMA_NO_

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.
