CVE-2026-74403

Summary

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

crypto: ccp - Check for page allocation failure correctly in TIO

Sashiko notes:

Indeed, page_address(NULL) will return non-NULL garbage here. Fix this by checking the page allocation itself for NULL, not the resulting virtual address.
