7.8 · HIGH
Published Aug 15, 2026 EPSS 0.13% (3th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-74397 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:

IB/mlx5: Fix transport-domain rollback and initialize lb mutex earlier

mlx5_ib_alloc_transport_domain() allocates a transport domain and then

may fail in mlx5_ib_enable_lb(). In that case, the allocated TD is leaked.

Fix this by deallocating the TD when mlx5_ib_enable_lb() returns an

error. Also return 0 explicitly in the no-loopback-capability success

branch, and move dev->lb.mutex initialization to mlx5_ib_stage_init_init().

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.
