Is your app affected by CVE-2026-74548?
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: 5.3
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:
forcedeth: fix UAF of txrx_stats in nv_remove
nv_remove() frees the per-CPU txrx_stats before unregister_netdev().
Until unregister completes, ndo_get_stats64, the NAPI/xmit data path,
and nv_close()/drain may still access txrx_stats, leading to a
use-after-free.
Free the stats only after unregister_netdev().
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.
