# CVE-2026-74383: linux: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme-pci: fix out-of-bounds access in nvme_setup... CVE-2026-74383 is fixed in 20 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74383, released August 15, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-74383 - Priority: High - CVSS: 8.4 (high) - EPSS: 0.0019 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Aug 15, 2026 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme-pci: fix out-of-bounds access in nvme_setup_descriptor_pools nvme_setup_descriptor_pools() indexes dev->descriptor_pools[] using the numa_node forwarded from hctx->numa_node by its single caller, nvme_init_hctx_common(). On a non-NUMA kernel hctx->numa_node is NUMA_NO_NODE (-1). Because the parameter was declared 'unsigned', the value becomes UINT_MAX and the index walks off the array (sized to nr_node_ids), faulting during nvme_alloc_ns() and leaving the namespace without a /dev node. Reproduces on any NVMe controller probed by a CONFIG_NUMA=n kernel: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff889101603d38 RIP: 0010:nvme_init_hctx_common+0x5a/0x190 [nvme] Call Trace: nvme_init_hctx+0x10/0x20 [nvme] nvme_alloc_ns+0x9e/0xa10 [nvme_core] nvme_scan_ns+0x301/0x3b0 [nvme_core] nvme_scan_ns_async+0x23/0x30 [nvme_core] Switch the parameter to int and fall back to node 0 when it is NUMA_NO_NODE; node 0 is always present. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | bpftool6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | bpftool6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-livepatch-6.18.41-94.142 amzn 2023 | 1:1.0-0.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo-common-aarch64 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo-common-x86_64 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-devel amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-headers amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-modules-extra amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-modules-extra-common amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools-devel amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | linux Debian 14 | 7.1.5-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74383](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2026-74383.md) | Aug 15, 2026 | | Linux | microvm-kernel6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | perf6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | perf6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | python3-perf6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | | Linux | python3-perf6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.41-94.142.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-2071](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-2071.md) | Aug 31, 2026 | --- Data as of 2026-11-09T07:25:28Z UTC.
