Vulnerability in linux (DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74336)

Summary

Vulnerability in linux (DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74336). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 7.1.5-1 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: bound S1G TIM PVB walk to the TIM element ieee80211_s1g_check_tim() parses the S1G Partial Virtual Bitmap (PVB) of a received TIM element. The TIM is handed in as the element payload: ieee802_11_parse_elems_full() stores elems->tim = elem->data and elems->tim_len = elem->datalen (net/mac80211/parse.c), so the valid bytes are [tim, tim + tim_len). When walking the encoded blocks the function passes the walker an end sentinel of (const u8 )tim + tim_len + 2, i.e. two bytes past the end of the element. ieee80211_s1g_find_target_block() loops while (ptr + 1 <= end) and dereferences ptr (and the per-mode ieee80211_s1g_len_() helpers read *ptr), so it can read up to two bytes beyond the TIM element -- an out-of-bounds read of adjacent skb/heap data when the TIM is the last element in the frame. The +2 appears to account for the element id/len header, but tim already points past that header at the element payload, so the addend is wrong. Pass the correct element end, (const u8 *)tim + tim_len.

A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in linux.

📍 Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of linux.

🔥 Severity

Severity: ?. Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 7.1.5-1.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'linux' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

1
Identify exposure identify
```
grep -r 'linux' . | grep -v node_modules
```
リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で linux を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。
2
Apply patch patch
```
Upgrade linux to 7.1.5-1
```
ステージング環境で 7.1.5-1 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。
3
Post-deployment verification verify
```
Confirm patched version is live in production
```
パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
