Overview

CVE-2026-74385 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

nvmet-tcp: check return value of nvmet_tcp_set_queue_sock

The return value of nvmet_tcp_set_queue_sock() is currently ignored in

nvmet_tcp_tls_handshake_done(). If it fails (e.g., due to the socket

not being in TCP_ESTABLISHED state), the socket callbacks will not be

properly set, leading to queue and socket leakage.

Fix this by capturing the return value and calling

nvmet_tcp_schedule_release_queue() on failure to ensure proper cleanup.

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.
