In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix writeback error handling
Fix the error handling in writeback_iter() loop. If an error occurs,
writeback_iter() needs to be called again with *error set to the error so
that it can clean up iteration state. Further, the current folio needs
unlocking and redirtying.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/pt: Fix NULL pointer dereference in xe_pt_zap_ptes_entry()
The page-table walk framework may pass a NULL *child pointer for
unpopulated entries. xe_pt_zap_ptes_entry() called container_of(*child)
before checking for NULL, then dereferenced the result, causing a crash.
Move the container_of() call after a NULL guard, so the function returns
early instead of proceeding with an invalid pointer. XE_WARN_ON is kept
to help root cause the issue, but we now bail instead of crashing the
driver.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/hw_engine: Fix double-free of managed BO in error path
The error path in hw_engine_init() explicitly frees a BO allocated
with xe_managed_bo_create_pin_map() via xe_bo_unpin_map_no_vm().
Since the managed BO already has a devm cleanup action registered,
this causes a double-free when devm unwinds during probe failure.
Remove the explicit free and let devm handle it, consistent with
all other xe_managed_bo_create_pin_map() callers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: bpf: Fix hid_bpf_get_data() range check
hid_bpf_get_data() returns a pointer into the HID-BPF context data when
the caller-provided offset and size fit inside ctx-allocated_size.
The current check adds rdwr_buf_size and offset before comparing the
result against ctx->allocated_size. Since both values are unsigned, a
very large size can wrap the sum below ctx->allocated_size and make the
helper return a pointer even though the requested range is not contained
in the backing buffer.
Use check_add_overflow() to reject wrapped range ends before comparing
the requested range end against ctx->allocated_size.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gue: validate REMCSUM private option length
GUE private flags can indicate that remote checksum offload metadata is
present. The private flags field itself is accounted for by
guehdr_flags_len(), but guehdr_priv_flags_len() currently returns 0 even
when GUE_PFLAG_REMCSUM is set.
This lets a packet with only the private flags field pass
validate_gue_flags(), after which gue_remcsum() and gue_gro_remcsum()
read the missing REMCSUM start/offset fields from the following bytes.
Account for GUE_PLEN_REMCSUM when GUE_PFLAG_REMCSUM is present so that
malformed packets are rejected during option validation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix HV VHCA stats agent registration race
mlx5e_hv_vhca_stats_create() registers the stats agent through
mlx5_hv_vhca_agent_create(). The helper publishes the agent in
hv_vhca-agents[type] under agents_lock and immediately schedules an
asynchronous control invalidation on the HV VHCA workqueue before
returning to mlx5e.
The asynchronous invalidation invokes the control agent's invalidate
callback, which reads the hypervisor control block and forwards the
command to mlx5e_hv_vhca_stats_control(). That callback may either:
- call cancel_delayed_work_sync(&priv->stats_agent.work), or
- call queue_delayed_work(priv->wq, &sagent->work, sagent->delay).
However, the delayed_work and priv->stats_agent.agent are only
initialized after mlx5_hv_vhca_agent_create() returns to mlx5e:
agent = mlx5_hv_vhca_agent_create(...); /* publish + invalidate */
...
priv->stats_agent.agent = agent; /* too late */
INIT_DELAYED_WORK(&priv->stats_agent.work, ...); /* too late */
If the asynchronous control path runs before the two assignments
above, it can:
- Operate on an uninitialized delayed_work whose timer.function is
NULL. queue_delayed_work() calls add_timer() unconditionally, so
when the timer expires the timer softirq invokes a NULL function
pointer.
- Re-initialize the timer later through INIT_DELAYED_WORK() while
the timer is already enqueued in the timer wheel, corrupting the
hlist (entry.pprev cleared while the previous bucket node still
points at this entry).
- When the worker eventually runs, mlx5e_hv_vhca_stats_work() reads
sagent->agent (NULL) and dereferences it inside
mlx5_hv_vhca_agent_write().
Fix this by:
- Initializing priv->stats_agent.work before invoking
mlx5_hv_vhca_agent_create(), so the work is always in a valid
state when the control callback observes it.
- Adding a struct mlx5_hv_vhca_agent **ctx_update out-parameter
to mlx5_hv_vhca_agent_create(). The helper writes the agent
pointer to *ctx_update before publishing into hv_vhca->agents[]
and triggering the agents_update flow, so any callback
subsequently invoked from that flow already sees a valid
priv->stats_agent.agent. This avoids having the control
callback participate in agent initialization.
While at it, access priv->stats_agent.agent with
READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for the cross-CPU access with the worker, and
clear priv->stats_agent.buf on the agent_create() failure path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: act_pedit: fix TOCTOU heap OOB write in tc offload
There is a TOCTOU race condition in flower lockless approach between sizing
a flow_rule buffer and filling it.
zdi-disclosures@trendmicro.com reports:
The cls_flower classifier operates with TCF_PROTO_OPS_DOIT_UNLOCKED
(fl_change runs without RTNL), while RTM_NEWACTION holds RTNL, so the
independent locking domains make the race reachable in practice. KASAN
confirms:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in tcf_pedit_offload_act_setup+0x81b/0x930
Write of size 4 at addr ffff888001f27520 by task poc-toctou/312
The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of
allocated 288-byte region [ffff888001f27400, ffff888001f27520)
(cache kmalloc-512)
Note: The result is a heap OOB write attacker-controlled content into the
adjacent slab object (requires CAP_NET_ADMIN).
The fix introduces reading tcfp_nkeys under act-tcfa_lock in all places
using a new tcf_pedit_nkeys_locked() which replaces the old tcf_pedit_nkeys().
Additionally we close the remaining TOCTOU window between the sizing read and
the fill reads by more careful accounting.
Rather than silently truncating the key count, which leads to incorrect
action semantics offloaded to hardware and secondary OOB writes if
the remaining capacity is zero or consumed by prior actions, we enforce
remaining capacity checks and return -ENOSPC if the required space exceeds
the remaining capacity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: fix tx ident leak for commands without a response
Commit 6c3ea155e5ee ("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix not tracking outstanding
TX ident") changed ident allocation to use an IDA, releasing idents in
l2cap_put_ident() when the matching response command is received.
But identifiers allocated for commands that have no response defined
are never released. In particular L2CAP_LE_CREDITS is sent repeatedly for
the lifetime of an LE CoC channel, so a peer streaming data to the
host exhausts the 1-255 ident range after 254 credit packets. From
then on l2cap_get_ident() fails:
kernel: Bluetooth: Unable to allocate ident: -28
and every subsequent L2CAP_LE_CREDITS packet is sent with ident 0,
which is invalid (Core Spec, Vol 3, Part A, Section 4: "Signaling
identifier 0x00 is an invalid identifier and shall never be used in
any command"). Remote stacks that validate the ident drop these
commands, never receive new credits, and the channel stalls
permanently. With default socket buffers this happens after roughly 0.5 MB
of received data (the exact amount depends on the socket receive buffer):
ACL Data TX: Handle 2048 flags 0x00 dlen 12
LE L2CAP: LE Flow Control Credit (0x16) ident 0 len 4
Source CID: 64
Credits: 1
Release the ident immediately after sending L2CAP_LE_CREDITS since no
response will ever release it. Use a local variable instead of
chan-ident so that an ident that an EXT_FLOWCTL channel may be waiting on
(e.g. a pending reconfigure) is not overwritten by a credit packet.
Also add the missing L2CAP_LE_CONN_RSP case to l2cap_put_ident() so
idents allocated for outgoing L2CAP_LE_CONN_REQ commands are released
when the response arrives.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/amdxdna: Fix potential amdxdna_umap lifetime race
amdxdna_umap_release() calls the blocking mmu_interval_notifier_remove()
before removing the object from abo-mem.umap_list. If
aie2_populate_range() runs concurrently, it may obtain a reference to an
amdxdna_umap that is being released, leading to a potential use-after-free.
Use kref_get_unless_zero() in aie2_populate_range() when acquiring a
reference. If the reference count has already dropped to zero, release
is in progress and the entry is skipped.

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm era: fix NULL pointer dereference in metadata_open()
metadata_open() returns NULL when kzalloc_obj() fails, but the
caller era_ctr() only checks IS_ERR(md). Since IS_ERR(NULL)
returns false, the NULL pointer is treated as a valid result
and later assigned to era-md, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference when the metadata is accessed.
Fix this by returning ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) on allocation failure,
consistent with dm-cache-metadata.c, dm-thin-metadata.c, and
dm-clone-metadata.c which all use ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) for the
same pattern.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix overflow in passthrough ioctl bounds check
smb2_ioctl_query_info() validates the PASSTHRU_FSCTL response payload
before copying it to userspace.
The payload offset and length both come from 32-bit fields. The bounds
check currently adds OutputOffset and qi.input_buffer_length directly, so
the addition can wrap in 32-bit arithmetic before the result is compared
against the response buffer length.
A malicious server can use a large OutputOffset and a small OutputCount
to make the wrapped sum pass the bounds check. The later copy_to_user()
then reads from io_rsp + OutputOffset, outside the response buffer.
Use size_add() for the offset plus length check so overflow is treated as
out of bounds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: fix refcount leak in mlxsw_sp_port_lag_join()
When mlxsw_sp_port_lag_index_get() fails, mlxsw_sp_port_lag_join()
returns an error without releasing the lag reference obtained by
the earlier mlxsw_sp_lag_get(). All other error paths in the
function jump to the cleanup label that ends with
mlxsw_sp_lag_put(), so this is a single missed release.
Fix the leak by replacing the bare 'return err' with a goto to the
existing error cleanup label, which will drop the reference safely.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: qrtr: fix 32-bit integer overflow in qrtr_endpoint_post()
qrtr_endpoint_post() validates an incoming packet with
if (!size || len != ALIGN(size, 4) + hdrlen)
goto err;
where size comes from the wire. On 32-bit, size_t is 32 bits and
ALIGN(size, 4) wraps to 0 for size = 0xfffffffd, so the check
passes and skb_put_data(skb, data + hdrlen, size) writes past the
hdrlen-sized skb and oopses the kernel. 64-bit is unaffected.
This is the 32-bit residual of ad9d24c9429e2 ("net: qrtr: fix OOB
Read in qrtr_endpoint_post"), which fixed only the 64-bit case.
Reject any size that cannot fit the buffer before the ALIGN.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: s390: Initialize KVM_S390_GET_CMMA_BITS memory
kvm_s390_get_cmma_bits() allocates its output buffer with vmalloc(),
which does not zero the returned pages:
values = vmalloc(args-count);
In the non-peek (migration) path, dat_get_cmma() reports a byte count
spanning from the first to the last dirty page, but __dat_get_cmma_pte()
writes values[gfn - start] only for pages whose CMMA dirty bit is set.
The walk uses DAT_WALK_IGN_HOLES, so clean and unmapped pages that lie
between two dirty pages within the reported span are visited but never
store their byte. Those gaps (up to KVM_S390_MAX_BIT_DISTANCE pages
each) stay uninitialized yet fall inside [0, count) and are copied out
by copy_to_user(), disclosing stale kernel memory to user space.
Before the switch to the new gmap implementation the buffer was fully
populated for every gfn in the span, so no uninitialized bytes were
exposed; the dirty-only walk introduced the leak.
Use vzalloc() so the gaps read back as zero.

CVE-2026-72287

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: nVMX: Move vTPR vs. TPR Threshold consistency check into "normal" checks
Move the off-by-default consistency check for vmcs12.tpr_threshold vs.
the virtual APIC vTPR into the "normal" controls checks, as waiting until
KVM has loaded some amount of state is unnecessary and actively dangerous.
Specifically, failure to unwind vmcs01.GUEST_CR3 to KVM's value when EPT
is disabled results in KVM running L1 with an L1-controlled CR3, not with
KVM's CR3!
Alternatively, KVM could simply reset the MMU to force a reload of
vmcs01.GUEST_CR3, but the _only_ reason the check was shoved into a "late"
flow was to wait until the vmcs12 pages were retrieved. Rather than build
up more crusty code, simply access vTPR using a regular guest memory access
(performance isn't a concern). To circumvent the restrictions that led to
KVM deferring nested_get_vmcs12_pages(), (a) use a VM-scoped API to read
guest memory so that it always hits non-SMM memslots (for RSM), and (b)
skip the check (since its off-by-default anyways) when the vCPU doesn't
want to run, i.e. when userspace is restoring/stuffing state.
If reading guest memory fails, simply skip the consistency check, as KVM's
de facto ABI is that VMX instruction accesses to non-existent memory get
PCI Bus Error semantics, where reads return 0xFFs. And if vTPR=0xFF, then
the vTPR is guaranteed to be greater than or equal to TPR_THRESHOLD.
