CVE-2026-74525

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

Overview

CVE-2026-74525 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026.

Technical Description

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

net: sxgbe: free TX rings on RX allocation failure

When RX descriptor ring allocation fails, init_dma_desc_rings() only

frees the partially allocated RX rings and returns. The TX rings that

were allocated earlier in the same function are leaked.

Rearrange error labels to clean up TX rings upon RX failures.

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.
