CVE-2026-72281
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: account pKVM reclaim against the VM mm
Protected guest faults charge long term pins to the VM's mm. Teardown
can run later from file release, where current-mm may be unrelated.
Drop the charge from kvm->mm instead.

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: nv: Inject SEA if guest VNCR isn't normal memory
When constructing an L1 VNCR mapping, KVM unconditionally uses cacheable
memory attributes, even if the underlying PFN isn't memory. This gets
particularly hairy if the endpoint doesn't support cacheable memory
attributes, potentially throwing an SError on writeback...
While KVM does permit cacheable memory attributes on certain PFNMAP
VMAs, kvm_translate_vncr() isn't currently grabbing the VMA. So do the
simpler thing for now and just reject everything that isn't memory.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: mediatek: mt8192: Release reserved memory on cleanup
The MT8192 AFE probe calls of_reserved_mem_device_init() and falls
back to preallocated buffers when no reserved memory region is
available. When the reserved memory assignment succeeds, however, the
driver never releases it.
Register a devm cleanup action after a successful reserved-memory
assignment so the assignment is released on probe failure and driver
unbind.

CVE-2026-72257

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: qcom: q6apm: fix NULL pointer dereference in graph_callback
When q6apm_free_fragments() is called it frees rx_data.buf/tx_data.buf
and sets them to NULL under graph-lock. A late DSP buffer-done response
can race with this: graph_callback() passes the !graph->ar_graph guard
(not yet NULL), acquires the lock, but then dereferences a now-NULL buf
pointer to read buf[token].phys, crashing at virtual address 0x10.
Add a NULL check for buf inside the mutex-protected section in both the
write-done (DATA_CMD_RSP_WR_SH_MEM_EP_DATA_BUFFER_DONE_V2) and
read-done (DATA_CMD_RSP_RD_SH_MEM_EP_DATA_BUFFER_V2) handlers and bail
out cleanly if buffers have already been freed.
This problem is only shown up recently while apr bus was updated to
process the commands per service rather from single global queue.

CVE-2026-72256
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: xt_cluster: reject template conntracks in hash match
xt_cluster_mt() treats any non-NULL nf_ct_get() result as a fully
initialized conntrack and passes it to xt_cluster_hash().
This causes a state confusion bug when the raw table CT target attaches
a template conntrack to skb-_nfct before normal conntrack processing.
Templates carry IPS_TEMPLATE status but do not have a valid tuple for
hashing yet, so xt_cluster_hash() can hit its WARN_ON() path on the
zeroed l3num field.
Reject template conntracks before hashing them. This matches existing
netfilter handling for template objects and avoids hashing incomplete
conntrack state.

CVE-2026-72252
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: don't leak bad clone into future transaction
On memory allocation failure the cloned nft_pipapo_match can enter a bad
state:
- some fields can have their lookup tables resized while others did
not
- bits might have been toggled
- scratch map can be undersized which also means m-bsize_max can be
lower than what is required
This means that the next insertion in the same batch can trigger
out-of-bounds writes.
Furthermore, a failure in the first can result in the bad clone to
leak into the next transaction because the abort callback is never
executed in this case (the upper layer saw an error and no attempt to
allocate a transactional request was made).
Record a state for the nft_pipapo_match structure:
- NEW (pristine clone)
- MOD (modified clone with good state)
- ERR (potentially bogus content)
Then make it so that deletes and insertions fail when the clone
entered ERR state.
In case the very first insert attempt results in an error, free the
clone right away.

CVE-2026-72239

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/virt/sev: Revert "Drop WBINVD before setting MSR_AMD64_SYSCFG_SNP_EN"
Revert
99cf1fb58e68 ("x86/virt/sev: Drop WBINVD before setting MSR_AMD64_SYSCFG_SNP_EN").
Section 8.8 of the SNP spec says:
Before invoking SNP_INIT_EX with INIT_RMP set to 1, software must ensure
that no CPUs contain dirty cache lines for the memory containing the RMP.
Cachelines can be moved from cache to cache in a dirty state. The
wbinvd_on_all_cpus() before SNP_INIT_EX flushes the caches for each CPU, but
if the IPIs for WBINVD race with this dirty cacheline movement, it is possible
that they may not get flushed, violating the firmware requirement.
Doing wbinvd_on_all_cpus() before setting SNPEn is safer since the RMP
table is not yet in use.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: frag: free unfragmentable packet
The caller of batadv_frag_send_packet() assume that the skb provided to the
function are always consumed. But the pre-check for an empty payload or the
zero fragment size returned an error without any further actions.
A failed pre-check must use the same error handling code as the rest of the
function.

CVE-2026-72229
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: clean untagged VLAN on netdev registration failure
When an mesh interface is registered, it creates an untagged struct
batadv_meshif_vlan on top of it via the NETDEV_REGISTER notifier. But in
this process, another receiver of this notification can veto the
registration. The netdev registration will be aborted because of this veto.
The register_netdevice() call will try to clean up the net_device using
unregister_netdevice_queue() - which only uses the .priv_destructor to
free private resources. In this situation, .dellink will not be called.
The cleanup of the untagged batadv_meshif_vlan must thefore be done in the
destructor to avoid a leak of this object.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: frag: fix primary_if leak on failed linearization
If the skb has a frag_list, it must be linearized before it can be split
using skb_split(). But when this step failed, it must not only free the skb
but also take care of the reference to the already found primary_if.

CVE-2026-72225
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jbd2: fix integer underflow in jbd2_journal_initialize_fast_commit()
jbd2_journal_initialize_fast_commit() validates journal capacity by
checking (journal-j_last - num_fc_blks JBD2_MIN_JOURNAL_BLOCKS).
Both j_last and num_fc_blks are unsigned, so when num_fc_blks exceeds
j_last the subtraction wraps to a large value, bypassing the bounds
check.
The resulting underflow corrupts j_last, j_fc_first, and j_free,
leading to journal abort.
Fix by checking num_fc_blks against j_last before the subtraction,
returning -EFSCORRUPTED.

CVE-2026-72222
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sunrpc: pin svc_xprt across the asynchronous TLS handshake callback
svc_tcp_handshake() stores the raw svc_xprt pointer in
tls_handshake_args.ta_data and submits the request through
tls_server_hello_x509(). The handshake core takes only
sock_hold(req-hr_sk); nothing references the embedding struct
svc_sock that svc_tcp_handshake_done() reaches via container_of().
Two close races leave the in-flight callback writing through a freed
svc_sock. svc_sock_free() calls tls_handshake_cancel() and discards
its return value: a false return means handshake_complete() has
already set HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED but hp_done() may not have
finished, yet svc_sock_free() proceeds to kfree(svsk). The
cancel-loser fall-through inside svc_tcp_handshake() itself produces
the same window: when wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout()
returns = 0 (timeout or signal) and tls_handshake_cancel() returns
false, the function does not drain, returns, and svc_handle_xprt()
calls svc_xprt_received(), which clears XPT_BUSY and can drop the
last reference. A concurrent close then runs svc_sock_free() while
svc_tcp_handshake_done() is still updating xpt_flags and walking
svsk->sk_handshake_done.
The corruption surfaces as set_bit/clear_bit RMW into the freed
xpt_flags slab slot and as complete_all() walking and writing the
freed wait_queue_head_t list embedded in sk_handshake_done -- a
slab-corruption primitive, not a benign read. The path is reachable
on any TLS-enabled NFS server whenever a connection close overlaps
the tlshd downcall delivery window; the interruptible wait means
signal delivery suffices, not just SVC_HANDSHAKE_TO expiry.
Take svc_xprt_get(xprt) immediately before tls_server_hello_x509()
so the in-flight callback owns its own reference. Release it on the
two edges where the callback is guaranteed not to fire -- submission
failure from tls_server_hello_x509() and a successful
tls_handshake_cancel() -- and at the tail of
svc_tcp_handshake_done() after complete_all().
