CVE-2026-74566
The CVE Severity Digest turns the National Vulnerability Database feed into a prioritized security briefing. It groups affected software into practical product families, distinguishes patch and mitigation references from general citations, and ranks the vulnerabilities most likely to matter to technology operators while preserving direct links to the official record.

- CVE-2026-74566
- Description
- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: keys: make keyring key-chunk byte order agree with keyring_diff_objects() keyring_get_key_chunk() loads description bytes into the index chunk low address first, while keyring_diff_objects() numbers the first differing bit from the low end and folds the absolute byte index into the level without removing the inline-prefix offset the level already carries. The two disagree on byte order and bit position, so the array can be told two keys first differ at a bit that does not differ in the chunk the walker uses, letting crafted descriptions collide into one node. Load the chunk in the order keyring_diff_objects() assumes and drop the inline-prefix length when folding the byte index into the level. This only changes the in-memory ordering used to place keys within a keyring; add, search and read of non-colliding keys are unaffected.
