CVE-2026-74663 evidence review
Linux
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: reject overly deep qdisc hierarchies Deep qdisc hierarchies can lead to excessive recursion in qdisc tree walkers and exhaust the kernel stack. The existing loop check does not cover the create-and-graft path, so a hierarchy can still be extended by creating a new child qdisc below an already deep parent. Store the hierarchy depth in struct Qdisc and update it when qdiscs are grafted. Reject new child qdiscs once the parent is already at the maximum allowed depth.
This record remains available for product and version identification, but it is not presented as a complete remediation procedure. Confirm the affected range and the supported fix in a direct vendor advisory before changing production systems.
Identify the product and installed version
Record whether Linux is present, where it is installed, and which interfaces are exposed.
- Record the product name, package or appliance identifier, and installed version.
- Identify internet-facing, administrative, API, and internal access paths.
- Preserve the pre-change configuration and relevant service logs.
