Overview

CVE-2026-74459 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026.

Technical description

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

can: etas_es58x: es58x_read_bulk_callback(): fix RX buffer leak on URB resubmit failure

es58x_read_bulk_callback() resubmits the RX URB after processing a received

packet. If the resubmit succeeds, the URB remains anchored and will be

handled by the normal RX path or by teardown.

However, if usb_submit_urb() fails, the callback unanchors the URB and then

returns directly. This skips the existing free_urb path, so the coherent

transfer buffer allocated with usb_alloc_coherent() is not released.

Reuse the existing free_urb path after a resubmit failure so that the RX

coherent buffer is freed before leaving the callback.

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.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-74459?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-74459 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
