CVE-2026-74275
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cxl/region: Fix out-of-bounds access in cxl_cancel_auto_attach()
In cxl_cancel_auto_attach(), it assumes cxled->pos is a valid index for accessing p->targets[]. However, cxled->pos can be set to negative errno in cxl_region_sort_targets() if cxl_calc_interleave_pos() fails. This causes the driver to use a negative index to access p->targets[], resulting in out-of-bounds access.
Fix it by walking p->targets[] instead of using cxled->pos directly.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 8.4
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.18%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 7
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).

Acceso local sin interacción (AV:L/PR:N/UI:N) en kernel Linux. Out-of-bounds access por índice negativo puede causar DoS o lectura de memoria kernel. El vector CVSS alto (C:H/I:H/A:H) indica escalada de privilegios local.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
