Use-after-free in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-74513

Vulnerability identifier: #VU143266

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-2026-74513

CWE-ID: CWE-416

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in dibs loopback DMB handling in drivers/dibs/dibs_loopback.c when performing concurrent loopback attach, detach, or unregister operations. A local user can trigger racing reference count operations on a dmb_node to cause a denial of service.

The issue arises from a race window between hash table lookup and refcount operations on dmb_node.
