Overview

CVE-2026-74697 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 22, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.2 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.2, 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:

bnxt_en: Disable EOP for TPA on all chips to prevent data corruption

EOP (End of frame padding) on the AGG ring may cause overlapping of

zero padding at the end of one segment with the next segment's data.

If Relaxed Ordering (RO) is enabled, the zero padding may overwrite

valid data in the next segment and corrupt the data. Older chips

(P5 and older) do not automatically disable RO when EOP is enabled.

On some ARM systems, data corruption was reported on 57508 (P5)

chips with RO enabled.

Always disable EOP on all chips on the AGG rings when TPA is enabled

to fix the data corruption.

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.
