CVE-2026-74425

7.5 · HIGH
Published Aug 15, 2026 EPSS 0.35% (28th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-74425 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:

afs: handle CB.InitCallBackState3 requests without a server record

The cache manager callback path now attaches the server record to an

incoming call through the rxrpc peer's app data. That association is

not guaranteed to exist for every callback request, and most callback

handlers already tolerate that case.

Make CB.InitCallBackState3 follow the same pattern by checking whether a

server record was attached before using it. If the peer is not mapped

to a server record, trace the request and ignore it, matching the

existing behaviour for other unmatched callback requests.

This keeps the callback handler consistent with the rest of the cache

manager service and avoids depending on peer state that may not be

available for a given request.
