Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-74459

high Nessus Plugin ID 335862

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - 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. (CVE-2026-74459)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
