Summary
CVE-2026-74735 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

l2tp: fix tunnel and session refcount leak on seq_file release

In pppol2tpprocopen() and l2tpdfsseqopen(), iteration state (pd->tunnel and pd->session) is kept in seqfile private data to allow iteration across multiple read() system calls.

However, if userspace closes /proc/net/pppol2tp or /sys/kernel/debug/l2tp/tunnels before reading to end-of-file (EOF), any tunnel or session reference stored in pd->tunnel / pd->session is left un-dropped when seq_file private data is freed.

Fix this by dropping any remaining pd->tunnel and pd->session references in pppol2tpprocrelease() and l2tpdfsseq_release() when closing the file.
