How severe is CVE-2026-64035?

CVE-2026-64035 has a CVSS score of 9.8/10, rated CRITICAL. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-64035?

CVE-2026-64035 affects the following packages: Kernel (Linux). Ecosystems affected: Linux.

How do I fix CVE-2026-64035?

Update Kernel to 6.18.34 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-64035 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-64035 in my Linux dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for Kernel. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-64035 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-64035?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-64035 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2026-64035 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-64035 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

When was CVE-2026-64035 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-64035 was published on July 19, 2026 and was last updated on July 22, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

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

igc: set tx buffer type for SMD frames

Sashiko pointed out that igc_fpe_init_smd_frame() initializes igc_tx_buffer fields for an SMD skb, but does not set the buffer type: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260415025226.114115-1-kohei%40enjuk.jp

Since igc_tx_buffer entries are reused, a stale XDP or XSK type can remain and make TX completion use the wrong cleanup path.

Set the buffer type to IGC_TX_BUFFER_TYPE_SKB.
