CVE-2026-74545

CriticalCVSS 9.8/10Last modified Aug 17, 2026

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

rtase: fix double free of multi-frag skb on DMA map failure

In rtase_start_xmit(), when the head buffer DMA mapping fails after rtase_xmit_frags() has mapped all fragments, the error path clears the fragment descriptors with rtase_tx_clear_range(), which frees the skb through the last-frag slot and accounts tx_dropped. Control then falls through to the common error label, which frees the same skb a second time and counts it again.

Return right after clearing the fragments when the skb owns frags; the no-frag case still drops through and frees the head skb once.
