CVE-2026-74396
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix UMR XLT cleanup on ODP populate failure
mlx5r_umr_update_xlt() allocates and DMA maps an XLT buffer with mlx5r_umr_create_xlt(). The buffer is released by the common cleanup path through mlx5r_umr_unmap_free_xlt().
After mlx5_odp_populate_xlt() became fallible, its error path returned directly and skipped that cleanup. This leaks the XLT DMA mapping and buffer. If the emergency XLT page was used, it also leaves xlt_emergency_page_mutex locked.
Break out of the loop so execution falls through the existing cleanup path.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.5
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.73%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 53
- Fecha de la puntuación: 4/10/2026
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).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1190Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access25 % - Impacto principal
T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact70 %
Fallo de limpieza de recursos en kernel de Linux permite DoS por agotamiento de memoria; AV:N pero es fuga de recursos interno, no ataque remoto directo (confianza baja en T1190).
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.
