CVE-2024-26908 is a rejected identifier initially assigned to missing allocation-result checks in the Linux kernel's x86/Xen symmetric multiprocessing code. The kasprintf() function can return NULL when memory allocation fails, and the affected code did not validate the returned pointer before use. The correction adds NULL-pointer checks. Triggering the condition requires virtual-CPU hotplug by a host or guest administrator while the guest encounters an out-of-memory condition. The identifier was rejected upstream and should not be treated as an active, confirmed security vulnerability.

The listed CVSS v3 score is 5.5, indicating local exploitation requiring low privileges, no user interaction, and high availability impact without confidentiality or integrity impact. The reference does not describe the underlying flaw.
A medium-severity vulnerability affecting Google Container-Optimized OS lakitu kernel packages. The listed CVSS v3 score is 5.5, indicating a local attack requiring low privileges that can have a high impact on availability, with no confidentiality or integrity impact. Tenable recommends updating the affected packages to version 17800.218.14 or later.
A rejected or withdrawn CVE identifier referenced by a Google Container-Optimized OS kernel security-update plugin. The plugin identifies affected lakitu kernel packages and reports medium severity with a CVSS v3 base score of 5.5. It provides no technical description of the underlying flaw, so the rejected identifier should not be treated as a confirmed vulnerability based on this reference alone.
