Critical CVSS 9.8

CVE-2026-74474

NVD analysis in progress

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vxlan: use pskb_network_may_pull() for transmit path header pulls In vxlan_xmit(), arp_reduce(), and vxlan_mdb_entry_skb_get(), pskb_may_pull() was being called to verify the availability of network layer headers (ARP, IPv6/ND, IP/IPv6 MDB keys). However, during transmit skb->data points to the MAC header, so skb_network_offset(skb) is ETH_HLEN (14 bytes). Using pskb_may_pull(skb, len) only checks len bytes from skb->data rather than skb_network_offset(skb) + len, which can leave part of the network header in non-linear frags. Replace these remaining pskb_may_pull() calls with pskb_network_may_pull() to properly account for the MAC header offset.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doPatch without waiting for the next scheduled cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
