CVE-2026-74403

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

Overview

CVE-2026-74403 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:

crypto: ccp - Check for page allocation failure correctly in TIO

Sashiko notes:

> if __snp_alloc_firmware_pages() returns NULL under memory pressure, is it

> safe to pass it directly to page_address()?

>

> On architectures without HASHED_PAGE_VIRTUAL, page_address(NULL) might

> compute a deterministic but invalid, non-zero virtual address. The

> subsequent if (tio_status) check would then evaluate to true, and

> sev_tsm_init_locked() would dereference the invalid pointer.

Indeed, page_address(NULL) will return non-NULL garbage here. Fix this by

checking the page allocation itself for NULL, not the resulting virtual

address.

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.
