Race condition in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-74398

Vulnerability identifier: #VU142734

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74398

CWE-ID: CWE-362

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in addrconf_dad_failure in the IPv6 address configuration subsystem when handling duplicate address detection failure processing concurrently with IPv6 address deletion. A local attacker can trigger concurrent state transitions to cause a denial of service.

The issue can lead to a general protection fault when a deleted IPv6 address entry is processed a second time through scheduled DAD work.
