CVE-2026-74647
CVE-2026-74647 is a security vulnerability in Kernel. O3 Security confirms whether CVE-2026-74647 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Real-World Exposure
KernelReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Linux packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: fastrpc: Remove buffer from list prior to unmap operation
fastrpc_req_munmap_impl() is called to unmap any buffer. The buffer is getting removed from the list after it is unmapped from DSP. This can create potential race conditions if multiple threads invoke unmap concurrently, where one thread may remove the entry from the list while another thread's unmap operation is still ongoing.
Fix this by removing the buffer entry from the list before calling the unmap operation. If the unmap fails, the entry is re-added to the list so that userspace can retry the unmap, or alternatively, the buffer will be cleaned up during device release when the DSP process is torn down and all DSP-side mappings are freed along with remaining buffers in the list.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
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.
Fix
Update Kernel to 6.6.152 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-74647 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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 O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-74647 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to CVE-2026-74647. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
