CVE-2026-74728

Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel, in XFS, the function xfs_buf_free calls folio_put on a NULL pointer when backing memory allocation fails, leading to a kernel crash. The fix skips folio_put when bp->b_addr is NULL.

Risk Assessment

Risk of system crash during XFS filesystem operations, especially under memory pressure.

Recommendation

Install a kernel patch that checks bp->b_addr before calling folio_put.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: handle NULL b_addr in xfs_buf_free When xfs_buf_alloc_backing_mem() fails, xfs_buf_free() is called with bp->b_addr still NULL. The code falls through to the folio_put path which calls virt_to_folio(NULL), dereferencing an invalid address and causing a kernel crash.
