CVE-2026-72384
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/ts4800: Fix missing chained handler cleanup on remove
The driver installs a chained handler for the parent interrupt during probe
using irq_set_chained_handler_and_data(), but the remove function does not
clear this handler. This leaves a dangling handler that may be called when
the parent interrupt fires after the driver has been removed, potentially
accessing freed memory and causing a kernel crash.
Additionally, the parent_irq obtained via irq_of_parse_and_map() is not
stored, making it inaccessible in the remove function. Moreover, interrupt
mappings created during probe are not properly disposed.
Fix this by:
- Saving parent_irq in probe
- Clearing the chained handler with NULL in ts4800_ic_remove()
- Disposing all IRQ mappings before domain removal to prevent resource
leaks

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: reject undersized DACLs before parsing ACEs
parse_dacl() limits the attacker-controlled ACE count by comparing it
with the number of minimal ACEs that fit in the DACL size. The DACL size
field is 16 bits, but the expression subtracts sizeof(struct smb_acl).
Because sizeof() is unsigned, a DACL size smaller than the ACL header
underflows to a large size_t.
A malicious client can reach this with:
SMB2_SET_INFO (InfoType=SMB2_O_INFO_SECURITY)
- smb2_set_info_sec()
-> set_info_sec()
-> parse_sec_desc()
-> parse_dacl()
-> init_acl_state(..., 0xffff)
-> init_acl_state(..., 0xffff)
-> kmalloc_objs(..., 0xffff)
Thus a malformed security descriptor can make num_aces pass the guard
and drive large temporary ACL state and pointer-array allocations.
Reject DACLs smaller than struct smb_acl before doing the subtraction,
so the ACE count check cannot be bypassed by the underflow.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/pvcalls: bound backend response req_id before indexing rsp[]
pvcalls_front_event_handler() takes req_id directly from the
backend-supplied ring response and uses it to index the fixed-size
bedata-rsp[] array for a memcpy() and a store, with no range check. A
malicious or buggy backend can set req_id past PVCALLS_NR_RSP_PER_RING
and drive an out-of-bounds write past the bedata allocation.
req_id was also declared int while the wire field rsp->req_id is u32, so
a range check on the signed value alone is insufficient: a backend
req_id of 0xffffffff becomes -1, passes a >= PVCALLS_NR_RSP_PER_RING
test and indexes bedata->rsp[-1]. Declare req_id as u32 so a single
bound covers both ends.
A backend that sends an out-of-range req_id has violated the wire
protocol, so rather than silently dropping the response, log once and
stop trusting the backend: set bedata->disabled. The event handler then
ignores further responses, and the request paths that wait for a
response return -EIO instead of blocking forever. This mirrors the
fatal-error handling xen-netback uses (xenvif_fatal_tx_err()).
The pvcalls frontend currently trusts its backend, so this is not a
classic-Xen security issue, but it matters for hardening PV frontends
against malicious backends (confidential and disaggregated deployments).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cachefiles: Fix double unlock in nomem_d_alloc error path
When start_creating() fails and returns -ENOMEM, it has already
released the parent directory lock in __start_dirop():
static struct dentry *__start_dirop(...)
{
...
inode_lock_nested(dir, I_MUTEX_PARENT);
dentry = lookup_one_qstr_excl(name, parent, lookup_flags);
if (IS_ERR(dentry))
inode_unlock(dir); -- Lock released on error
return dentry;
}
However, the nomem_d_alloc error path in cachefiles_get_directory()
unconditionally calls inode_unlock(d_inode(dir)) again, causing a
double unlock that corrupts the rwsem state.
This is a leftover from commit 7ab96df840e60 which replaced manual
locking with start_creating() but failed to update the nomem_d_alloc
path (while correctly updating mkdir_error and lookup_error paths).

CVE-2026-72340
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: microchip: vcap: fix races on the shared Super VCAP block
The VCAP instances on a chip are not independent, yet they are locked
independently. On sparx5 and lan969x the IS0 and IS2 instances are
backed by the same Super VCAP hardware block and share its cache and
command registers: every access drives the shared VCAP_SUPER_CTRL
register and moves data through the shared cache registers.
Accessing one instance therefore races with accessing another. The
per-instance admin-lock cannot prevent this, as each instance takes a
different lock.
The locking issue is mostly disguised by the fact that the core usage of
the vcap api runs under rtnl. However, the full rule dump in debugfs
decodes rules straight from hardware (a READ command followed by a cache
read) and runs outside rtnl, so it races a concurrent tc-flower rule
write to another Super VCAP instance.
Besides corrupting the dump, the read repopulates the shared cache
between the writers cache fill and its write command, so the writer
commits the wrong data and corrupts the hardware entry.
Introduce vcap_lock() and vcap_unlock() helpers and route every rule
lock site in the VCAP API and its debugfs code through them. Replace the
per-instance admin->lock with a single mutex in struct vcap_control that
serializes access to all instances. The helpers reach it through a new
admin->vctrl back-pointer, and the clients initialise and destroy the
control lock instead of a per-instance one.
No path holds more than one instance lock, so collapsing them onto a
single mutex cannot self-deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: ISO: fix malformed ISO_END/CONT handling
Core specification (Part C vol 4 sec 5.4.5) does not exclude empty
ISO_CONT, ISO_END packets. We currently reject them if they are last.
If controller sends malformed sequence
ISO_START - rx_len = 4, ISO_CONT skb->len 4, ISO_START
that ends payload in ISO_CONT, we leak conn->rx_skb. If controller sends
too long ISO_END, we panic on skb_put. If controller sends too short
ISO_END we accept it.
Fix by marking unfinished ISO_START via conn->rx_skb != NULL. Check
skb->len properly before skb_put. Combine the ISO_CONT/END code paths
as they require the same initial checks. Reject too short ISO_END
packets.

CVE-2026-72330

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/tls: Consume empty data records in tls_sw_read_sock()
A peer may send a zero-length TLS application_data record; TLS 1.3
explicitly permits these as a traffic-analysis countermeasure (RFC
8446, Section 5.1). After decryption such a record has full_len ==
0. tls_sw_read_sock() hands it to the read_actor, which has no
payload to consume and returns zero. The loop treats a zero return
as backpressure (used = 0), requeues the skb at the head of
rx_list, and stops. rx_list is serviced head-first on the next
call, so the empty record is dequeued, fails the same way, and is
requeued again; every later record on the connection is blocked
behind it.
tls_sw_recvmsg() does not stall on this: a zero-length data record
copies nothing and falls through to consume_skb(). Mirror that in
the read_sock() path by recognizing an empty data record before
the actor runs, consuming it, and continuing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/v3d: Reject invalid indirect BO handle in indirect CSD setup
v3d_get_cpu_indirect_csd_params() looks up the indirect buffer object
from a userspace-supplied handle but never checks the result. A bogus
or stale handle makes drm_gem_object_lookup() return NULL, which is
then stored in info-indirect and only dereferenced later when the
indirect CSD job runs, turning a userspace mistake into a NULL pointer
dereference in the kernel.
Bail out with -ENOENT as soon as the lookup fails, so the bad handle is
rejected at submission time.

CVE-2026-72322

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: mcast: Fix potential UAF in MLD delayed work
A race condition exists between device teardown and incoming MLD query
processing, leading to a Use-After-Free in the MLD delayed work.
During device destruction, the primary reference to inet6_dev is dropped,
which can drop its refcount to 0. The actual freeing of inet6_dev memory
is deferred via RCU.
Concurrently, the packet receive path runs under RCU read lock and obtains
the inet6_dev pointer. Because the memory is RCU-protected, CPU-0 can
safely dereference inet6_dev even if its refcount has hit 0.
However, if CPU-0 calls igmp6_event_query() and schedules delayed work, it
attempts to acquire a reference using in6_dev_hold(). This increments the
refcount from 0 to 1, triggering a "refcount_t: addition on 0" warning.
Since the inet6_dev memory is still scheduled to be freed after the RCU
grace period, the device is freed while the work is still scheduled.
When the work runs, it accesses the freed memory, causing a kernel panic.
Fix this by using refcount_inc_not_zero() (via a new helper
in6_dev_hold_safe()) to prevent acquiring a reference if the device is
already being destroyed. If the refcount is 0, we do not schedule the work.

CVE-2026-72317

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: pin upper rpc_clnt across the TLS connect_worker
The TLS connect path has a use-after-free: nothing pins the
upper rpc_clnt across the delayed connect_worker. xs_connect()
stores task-tk_client in sock_xprt::clnt as a raw pointer
and queues the worker; for TLS-secured transports that worker
is xs_tcp_tls_setup_socket(), which reads several fields out
of the saved pointer (cl_timeout, cl_program, cl_prog,
cl_vers, cl_cred, cl_stats) to construct the args for the
inner handshake rpc_clnt.
The xprt does not reference the rpc_clnt; the rpc_clnt
references the xprt. xs_destroy() does cancel the
connect_worker, but it runs only when the xprt's refcount
drops to zero, which cannot happen until the rpc_clnt
releases its cl_xprt reference in rpc_free_client_work().
When a TLS handshake fails fatally (for example, an mTLS
mount whose client cert does not match the server), the
connecting task is woken with -EACCES and exits, the mount
caller invokes rpc_shutdown_client(), and the upper rpc_clnt
is freed before the queued connect_worker fires.
xs_tcp_tls_setup_socket() then dereferences the freed clnt,
producing the refcount_t underflow Michael Nemanov reported.
Take a reference on the upper rpc_clnt in xs_connect() for
TLS transports via a new rpc_hold_client() helper, and drop
it in the connect_worker's exit path with rpc_release_client().
The xprt_lock_connect() / xprt_unlock_connect() pairing
already serialises xs_connect() with xs_tcp_tls_setup_socket(),
so the take and release are balanced one-for-one.
The non-TLS connect worker (xs_tcp_setup_socket) never reads
sock_xprt::clnt, so leave that path alone and avoid the
clnt-holds-xprt-holds-clnt cycle that would otherwise prevent
xprt destruction.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: core: regulator_lock_two() should test for EDEADLK not EDEADLOCK
Compare against -EDEADLK, which is what ww_mutex_lock() actually
returns and what every other deadlock check in this file already uses.
Function regulator_lock_two() acquires two regulators via
regulator_lock_nested() - ww_mutex_lock(). On contention,
ww_mutex_lock() returns -EDEADLK, which is the caller's signal to drop
the lock it holds and retry the acquisition in the canonical order.
However, regulator_lock_two() tests the return value against -EDEADLOCK
rather than -EDEADLK. On most architectures, EDEADLK and EDEADLOCK are
the same value, so the comparison happens to be correct and the bug is
invisible. But on MIPS, SPARC, and PowerPC, those two errors have
different values. The test is wrong: a genuine -EDEADLK backoff no
longer matches -EDEADLOCK, so instead of unlocking and retrying, the
code falls into WARN_ON(ret) and returns with only one of the two
regulators locked.
In practice, this is a bug only on MIPS, because the regulator core is
not built or used on the other two platforms.
In general, EDEADLK is preferred over EDEADLOCK for new code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-af: fix VF bringup affecting PF promiscuous state
Mbox handling of nix_set_rx_mode for a VF with promiscuous and
all_multi flags set to false causes deletion of the PF's promiscuous
and allmulti MCAM rules. This occurs because the APIs that
enable/disable these rules operate only on the PF, even when the
mbox request is made via a VF interface.
Guard both rvu_npc_enable_allmulti_entry() and
rvu_npc_enable_promisc_entry() disable paths with an is_vf() check so
that a VF bringing up or tearing down its interface cannot inadvertently
clear the PF's MCAM rules.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: fix refcount leak in mlxsw_sp_vrs_lpm_tree_replace()
When mlxsw_sp_vrs_lpm_tree_replace() fails after replacing some VRs,
the error rollback loop does not correctly revert the preceding
replacements. The loop decrements the index but fails to update the
vr pointer, which still points to the VR that caused the failure. As
a result, the condition and the rollback call always operate on the
same VR, potentially calling mlxsw_sp_vr_lpm_tree_replace() multiple
times on it while never rolling back the earlier VRs. Those VRs
continue to hold a reference to new_tree acquired via
mlxsw_sp_lpm_tree_hold(), leaking the reference count of new_tree.
Fix by reinitializing vr inside the error loop with the updated index:
vr = &mlxsw_sp-router->vrs[i];
so that the loop correctly iterates over all VRs that were actually
replaced.

ASoC: SOF: ipc3-control: Use overflow checks in control_update size calc
In sof_ipc3_control_update(), the expected_size calculation uses
firmware-provided cdata-num_elems in arithmetic that could overflow

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: topology: validate vendor array size before parsing
sof_parse_token_sets() reads array-size while iterating over topology
private data. The loop condition only checks that some data remains, so a
malformed topology with a truncated trailing vendor array can make the
parser read the size field before a full vendor-array header is available.
Validate that the remaining private data contains a complete
snd_soc_tplg_vendor_array header before reading array->size.
The declared array size check also needs to remain signed. asize is an int,
but sizeof(*array) has type size_t, so comparing them directly promotes
negative asize values to unsigned and lets them pass the check,
as reported in the stable review thread reference below.
Cast sizeof(*array) to int when validating the declared array size. This
rejects negative, zero and otherwise too-small sizes before the parser
dispatches to the tuple-specific code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: atm: reject out-of-range traffic classes in QoS validation
Reject ATM traffic classes above ATM_ANYCLASS in check_tp().
SO_ATMQOS stores the supplied QoS after check_qos() succeeds, so
accepting larger values leaves invalid traffic_class values in
vcc-qos.
That bad state later reaches pvc_info(), which indexes class_name[]
with vcc->qos.{rx,tp}.traffic_class. Values above ATM_ANYCLASS cause
an out-of-bounds read when /proc/net/atm/pvc is read.
Tighten the existing QoS validation so invalid traffic_class values
are rejected at the point where user supplied QoS is accepted.
