Published Aug 15, 2026 EPSS 0.18% (7th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-74505 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026.

Technical Description

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

ALSA: 6fire: Fix UAF at error handling during probe

Although 6fire driver had a few fixes for dealing with the early error

handling during the probe phase, it forgot a pending URB before

freeing the resources, which may lead to a UAF.

This patch addresses it by doing the almost same cleanup procedure

like the normal disconnect phase at the error path.

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.
