Overview

CVE-2026-74491 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026.

Technical description

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

of/address: Fix NULL bus dereference in of_pci_range_parser_one()

The bus matching rework made of_match_bus() return NULL for nodes with

ranges/dma-ranges but no local #address-cells. parser_init() stored that

NULL bus, and the range iterator later dereferenced it.

Reject such nodes in parser_init(), leaving an explicit empty

iterator for callers that ignore the init return, and make

of_dma_get_max_cpu_address() honour the init failure so a rejected node

cannot clamp the DMA limit.
