CVE-2026-74513

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

Overview

CVE-2026-74513 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:

dibs: fix use-after-free of dmb_node in loopback attach/detach/unregister

dibs_lo_attach_dmb(), dibs_lo_detach_dmb() and dibs_lo_unregister_dmb()

look up the dmb_node under dmb_ht_lock, drop the lock and only then

operate on the node's refcount. Nothing keeps the node alive across

that window: __dibs_lo_unregister_dmb() removes the node from the hash

table under the write lock and immediately frees it.

A concurrent final put can therefore free the node between the lookup

and the refcount operation:

CPU0 (attach) CPU1 (owner unregisters)

read_lock_bh(&dmb_ht_lock)

find dmb_node (refcnt == 1)

read_unlock_bh(&dmb_ht_lock)

refcount_dec_and_test() 1 -> 0

write_lock_bh(&dmb_ht_lock)

hash_del(&dmb_node->list)

write_unlock_bh(&dmb_ht_lock)

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.
