CVE-2026-74718

A flaw was found in the devlink component of the Linux kernel. When the devlink_nl_reload_doit() function is called, it may fail to release a network namespace reference under specific error conditions. This oversight occurs when the requested network namespace differs from the current one and the reload action is not DRIVER_REINIT. A local attacker could exploit this reference leak to cause resource exhaustion, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).
