CVE-2026-74459

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: etas_es58x: es58x_read_bulk_callback(): fix RX buffer leak on URB resubmit failure es58x_read_bulk_callback() resubmits the RX URB after processing a received packet. If the resubmit succeeds, the URB remains anchored and will be handled by the normal RX path or by teardown. However, if usb_submit_urb() fails, the callback unanchors the URB and then returns directly. This skips the existing free_urb path, so the coherent transfer buffer allocated with usb_alloc_coherent() is not released. Reuse the existing free_urb path after a resubmit failure so that the RX coherent buffer is freed before leaving the callback.

Affected products and versions

NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.

Remediation & validation

  1. Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
  2. Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
  3. Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
  4. Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.

No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
