CVE-2026-74735 in Linux
Résumé
par MITRE • 26/08/2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
l2tp: fix tunnel and session refcount leak on seq_file release
In pppol2tp_proc_open() and l2tp_dfs_seq_open(), iteration state (pd->tunnel and pd->session) is kept in seq_file private data to allow iteration across multiple read() system calls.
However, if userspace closes /proc/net/pppol2tp or /sys/kernel/debug/l2tp/tunnels before reading to end-of-file (EOF), any tunnel or session reference stored in pd->tunnel / pd->session is left un-dropped when seq_file private data is freed.
Fix this by dropping any remaining pd->tunnel and pd->session references in pppol2tp_proc_release() and l2tp_dfs_seq_release() when closing the file.
If you want to get the best quality for vulnerability data then you always have to consider VulDB.
