CVE-2026-72058
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ixp4xx_hss: fix duplicate HDLC netdev allocation
ixp4xx_hss_probe() allocates two HDLC netdevs. The first one is stored
in ndev, initialized, and registered with register_hdlc_device(). The
second one is stored in port-netdev and later used by the remove path
for unregister_hdlc_device() and free_netdev().
This means that the registered netdev is not the same object that is
unregistered and freed on remove. It also leaks the first allocation if
the second alloc_hdlcdev() call fails, and the first allocation is not
checked before ndev is used.
Older code allocated the HDLC netdev only once and stored the same object
in both the local variable and port->netdev. The buggy conversion split
this into two alloc_hdlcdev() calls. A later rename changed the local
variable name to ndev, but the underlying mismatch remained.
Fix this by allocating the HDLC netdev only once and assigning the same
object to port->netdev.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ip6_vti: require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the device netns for changelink
vti6_changelink() operates on at most two netns, dev_net(dev) and the
tunnel link netns t-net. They differ once the device is created in or
moved to a netns other than the one the request runs in. The rtnl
changelink path checks CAP_NET_ADMIN only against dev_net(dev), so a
caller privileged there but not in t->net can rewrite a tunnel that
lives in t->net.
Gate vti6_changelink() on rtnl_dev_link_net_capable() at its top,

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ieee802154: ca8210: fix pointer truncation in kfifo on 64-bit
ca8210_test_int_driver_write() and ca8210_test_int_user_read() exchange
a kmalloc'd buffer pointer through a struct kfifo, but pass a literal
'4' as the byte count to kfifo_in()/kfifo_out().
This is correct on 32-bit (pointer = 4 bytes), but on 64-bit only the
low 4 bytes of the 8-byte pointer are written into the FIFO. The reader
then reads back 4 bytes into an 8-byte local pointer variable, leaving
the upper 4 bytes uninitialized stack data. The first dereference of
the reconstructed pointer (fifo_buffer[1]) accesses an arbitrary kernel
address and generally results in an oops.
Use sizeof(fifo_buffer) so the byte count matches pointer width on every
architecture.
The driver has no architecture restriction in Kconfig, so any 64-bit
build with CONFIG_IEEE802154_CA8210_DEBUGFS=y is exposed. Issue has
been latent since the driver was added in 2017 because it is most
commonly deployed on 32-bit MCUs.
Found via a custom Coccinelle semantic patch hunting for short-byte
kfifo I/O on byte-mode kfifos used to shuttle pointers.

CVE-2026-72035
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: sch_taprio: Replace direct dequeue call with peek and qdisc_dequeue_peeked
When taprio's software path peeks a non-work-conserving child qdisc, the
child stashes the peeked skb in its gso_skb; taprio_dequeue_from_txq()
then takes the packet with a direct child -dequeue() call, which ignores
that stash, orphans the peeked skb and desyncs the child's qlen/backlog.
With a qfq child this re-enters the child on an emptied list and
dereferences NULL, panicking the kernel from softirq on ordinary egress.
Take the packet through qdisc_dequeue_peeked(), as sch_red and sch_sfb
now do. The helper returns the child's stashed skb first and is a no-op
when there is none, so a work-conserving child is unaffected and the
gated path now consumes the skb whose length was charged to the budget.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: wwan: iosm: bound device offsets in the MUX downlink decoder
mux_dl_adb_decode() walks a chain of aggregated datagram tables using
offsets and lengths taken from the modem. first_table_index,
next_table_index, table_length, datagram_index and datagram_length are
all device supplied le values. Only first_table_index was checked, and
only for being non zero. The decoder then formed adth = block +
adth_index and read the table header and the datagram entries with no
bound against the received skb. A modem that reports an index or a
length past the downlink buffer makes the decoder read out of bounds.
The buffer is IPC_MEM_MAX_DL_MUX_LITE_BUF_SIZE and skb-len is at most
that, so skb->len is the real limit, but none of these in band offsets
were checked against it.
The table chain is also followed with no forward progress check. The loop
takes the next table from adth->next_table_index and stops only when that
reaches zero. A modem can stage two tables that point at each other, so
the loop never ends. It runs in softirq and clones the skb on every pass.
Validate every device offset and length against skb->len before use.
The block header must fit. Each table header, on entry and after every
next_table_index, must lie inside the skb. The datagram table must fit.
Each datagram index and length must stay inside the skb. The header
padding must not exceed the datagram length so the receive length does
not wrap. Require each next_table_index to move forward so the chain
cannot cycle.
This was reproduced under KASAN as a slab out of bounds read on a normal
downlink receive once the iosm net device is up.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mac802154: remove interfaces with RCU list deletion
Queue wake, stop, and disable paths walk local-interfaces under RCU.
The bulk hardware teardown path removes entries with list_del(), so an

Use list_del_rcu() as in the single-interface removal path. The following
unregister_netdevice() waits for in-flight RCU readers before freeing the
netdevice, so no separate grace-period wait is needed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-pf: fix SQB pointer leak on init failure
otx2_init_hw_resources() initializes SQ aura and pool resources before
several later setup steps. On failure, err_free_sq_ptrs only frees SQB
pages, leaving the per-SQ sqb_ptrs arrays behind.
Use otx2_free_sq_res() for the SQ unwind path and let it free sqb_ptrs
even when sq-sqe has not been allocated yet.
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly
available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still
present in v7.1.1.
An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have an
OcteonTX2 PF device and the corresponding AF mailbox setup to test with,
no runtime testing was able to be performed.

CVE-2026-72016
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpu/hotplug: Fix NULL kobject warning in cpuhp_smt_enable()
On arm64, when booting with `maxcpus` greater than the number of present
CPUs (e.g., QEMU -smp cpus=4,maxcpus=8), some CPUs are marked as 'present'
but have not yet been registered via register_cpu(). Consequently,
the per-cpu device objects for these CPUs are not yet initialized.
In cpuhp_smt_enable(), the code iterates over all present CPUs. Calling
_cpu_up() for these unregistered CPUs eventually leads to
sysfs_create_group() being called with a NULL kobject (or a kobject
without a directory), triggering the following warning in
fs/sysfs/group.c:
WARNING: fs/sysfs/group.c:137 at internal_create_group+0x41c/0x4bc, CPU#2: sh/181
[...]
Call trace:

cpuhp_invoke_callback+0x104/0x20c
__cpuhp_invoke_callback_range+0x94/0x11c
_cpu_up+0x200/0x37c
When booting with ACPI, arm64 smp_prepare_cpus() currently sets all
enumerated CPUs as "present" regardless of their status in the MADT. This
causes issues with SMT hotplug control. For instance, with QEMU's
"-smp 4,maxcpus=8" configuration, the MADT GICC entries are populated as
follows:
1. The first four CPUs: `Enabled` set but `Online Capable` not set.
2. The remaining four CPUs: `Online Capable` set but `Enabled` not set
to support potential hot-plugging.
Fix this by:
1. When booting with ACPI, checking the ACPI_MADT_ENABLED flag in the GICC
entry before calling set_cpu_present() during SMP initialization.
2. Properly managing the present mask in acpi_map_cpu() and
acpi_unmap_cpu() to support actual CPU hotplug events, This aligns with
other architectures like x86 and LoongArch.
3. Update the arm64 CPU hotplug documentation to no longer state that all
online-capable vCPUs are marked as present by the kernel at boot time.
This ensures that only physically available or explicitly enabled CPUs
are in the present mask, keeping the SMT control logic consistent with
the actual hardware state.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in machine_kexec_prepare()
A NULL pointer dereference issue is noticed in riscv's
machine_kexec_prepare(), where image-segment[i].buf might be NULL and
copied unchecked.
The NULL buf comes from ima_add_kexec_buffer(), where kbuf is added by
kexec_add_buffer(), but kbuf.buffer is NULL, then it is copied without
a check in machine_kexec_prepare():
kexec_file_load
-> kimage_file_alloc_init()
-> kimage_file_prepare_segments()
-> ima_add_kexec_buffer()
-> kexec_add_buffer()
-> machine_kexec_prepare()
-> memcpy()
Address this by adding a check before the data copy attempt.
