CVE-2026-64173 is fixed in 35 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-64173, released July 20, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-64173 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: 5.5 (medium) - EPSS: 0.0011 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Jul 19, 2026 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Do not call map->ops->elt_free() if elt_alloc() fails In paths where tracing_map_elt_alloc() failed to allocate objects, the map->ops->elt_alloc() call was never successful. In this case, map->ops->elt_free() should not be called. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | bpftool ol 8 |
