Is your app affected by CVE-2026-74279?
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: 4.11
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.

The advisory
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: cavium/cpt - fix DMA cleanup using wrong loop index
The sg_cleanup error path used list[i] instead of list[j] when unmapping
DMA buffers, leaking successfully mapped entries and repeatedly unmapping
the failed one.
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.
