CVE-2026-74401 in Linux
Résumé
par MITRE • 15/08/2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dlm: fix add msg handle in send_queue ordered
In a benchmark scenario triggering a lot of requests that triggers a lot of DLM messages on the network it can be that the mh->seq is not ordered according the oldest seq number. This ordering is required by dlm_receive_ack as "before(mh->seq, seq)" will stop to check for older sequence numbers that are ordered in the tail of "node->send_queue".
The side effects of not having it correct ordered regarding "before(mh->seq, seq)" are refcounting issues and use-after free.
I only was able to reproduce this issue in a experimental DLM branch and a user space DLM benchmark that uses io_uring. After changing this I don't experienced any refcounting with the sending buffer issues anymore.
