CVE-2026-74693

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, the prestera driver lacks validation of the firmware header length. The prestera_fw_hdr_parse() function reads the header before checking that the firmware image contains that header, which could lead to out-of-bounds read.

Risk Assessment

The risk involves potential out-of-bounds memory read during firmware loading, which could lead to system crashes or improper driver behavior.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that rejects images shorter than the header structure before decoding.
