Is your app affected by CVE-2026-74277?
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Cursor or any AI coding tool: it runs a free Shippable scan of your project and fixes what it finds. Built with Lovable, Bolt or v0? Scan your live app. Or upload your package file.
Who is affected
- Linux Linux: 6.16
How to check
- Find out whether you run the affected product and which version, then compare it with the versions above.
How to fix
Copies a prompt for Claude Code, Cursor or Codex that asks it to check whether you run this product.
- Apply the vendor's update or mitigation from the references below. If there is none yet, limit exposure of the affected service until there is.
- If a vulnerable version was live, check your logs and rotate the secrets that server could read.
The advisory
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/dma-iommu: Fix wrong scatterlist length assignment in P2PDMA path
In iommu_dma_map_sg(), when handling PCI P2PDMA cases, the DMA length
of the current scatterlist segment `s` is incorrectly assigned from the
head entry `sg->length` instead of the current entry `s->length`.
This typo causes all P2PDMA segments in the scatterlist to inherit the
length of the first segment, leading to corrupted DMA lengths for multi-
segment scatterlists.
Fix this by using `s->length` instead of `sg->length`.
Check your whole app
Dependencies are only half of it. Free and read-only: before you push, run npx shippable-dev scan localhost:3000 in your project folder, no account needed. For your live app, you prove it's yours with a one-line tag first.
