When HiGig2 or EDSA parsing is enabled, a VF NIX LF alloc must\nnot reset the LMAC RX PKIND or default TX parse config over the PF setup.\n\nAdd cgx_get_pkind() and rvu_cgx_is_pkind_config_permitted() so VFs skip\ncgx_set_pkind(), rvu_npc_set_pkind(), and NIX_AF_LFX_TX_PARSE_CFG updates\nwhen the LMAC is using NPC_RX_HIGIG_PKIND or NPC_RX_EDSA_PKIND.","modified":"2026-08-18T03:56:32.393342937Z","published":"2026-08-15T12:27:43.568Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/74xxx/CVE-2026-74527.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3bd438a58e910db5dc369aa25dfed1fc95f1b596"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d3c6b0f48f126a36955b3fb4154a59d0b3621d97"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/74xxx/CVE-2026-74527.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-74527"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"94d942c5fb970ac2166216838b278613decfa9a0"},{"fixed":"d3c6b0f48f126a36955b3fb4154a59d0b3621d97"},{"fixed":"3bd438a58e910db5dc369aa25dfed1fc95f1b596"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-74527.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"4.20.0"},{"fixed":"7.1.8"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-74527.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
