CVE-2026-74646
Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's fastrpc subsystem. When an invoke operation is interrupted by a signal, the fastrpc_internal_invoke() function moves memory mappings without properly holding the fl->lock. This missing lock during memory map manipulation creates a race condition, which could lead to memory corruption or system instability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
