In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: flowtable: Validate iph-ihl in nf_flow_ip4_tunnel_proto()
Add sanity check for iph->ihl field in nf_flow_ip4_tunnel_proto() before
using it to compute the header size, avoiding out-of-bounds access with
malformed IP headers.
While at it, use iph->protocol instead of the hardcoded IPPROTO_IPIP
constant when setting ctx->tun.proto and reference ctx->tun.hdr_size
when updating ctx->offset.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SDCA: Validate written enum value in ge_put_enum_double()
ge_put_enum_double() passes the user-supplied enumeration index
item[0] to snd_soc_enum_item_to_val() without checking it against the
number of items in the enum:
ret = snd_soc_enum_item_to_val(e, item[0]);
snd_soc_enum_item_to_val() indexes the heap-allocated e-values[] array
with that index (e->values is set from a devm_kcalloc() of e->items
entries), so a control write with an out-of-range item[0] reads past the
end of the values buffer. The bounds check in
snd_soc_dapm_put_enum_double() only runs afterwards, so it does not
prevent the read here.
Reject an out-of-range item before using it, matching the other enum put
handlers.
This issue was pointed out by the Sashiko AI review bot while reviewing a
related enum-validation series:

CVE-2026-72413
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: fix err_chunk memory leaks in INIT handling
When sctp_verify_init() encounters unrecognized parameters, it allocates an
err_chunk to report them. However, this chunk is leaked in several code
paths:
1. In sctp_sf_do_5_1B_init(), if security_sctp_assoc_request() fails after
sctp_verify_init() has populated err_chunk, the function returns
immediately without freeing it.
2. In sctp_sf_do_unexpected_init(), the same leak occurs on the
security_sctp_assoc_request() failure path.
3. In sctp_sf_do_unexpected_init(), on the success path after copying
unrecognized parameters to the INIT-ACK, the function returns without
freeing err_chunk, unlike sctp_sf_do_5_1B_init() which properly frees
it.
Fix all three leaks by adding sctp_chunk_free(err_chunk) calls before
returning in the error paths and on the success path in
sctp_sf_do_unexpected_init().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: mxl862xx: fix use-after-free of DSA ports in crc_err_work
Upon an MDIO CRC error mxl862xx_crc_err_work_fn() walks the DSA ports
and closes the CPU port conduits:
dsa_switch_for_each_cpu_port(dp, priv-ds)
dev_close(dp->conduit);
mxl862xx_remove() unregisters the switch before cancelling this work:
set_bit(MXL862XX_FLAG_WORK_STOPPED, &priv->flags);
cancel_delayed_work_sync(&priv->stats_work);
dsa_unregister_switch(ds);
mxl862xx_host_shutdown(priv);
dsa_unregister_switch() frees the dsa_port objects. If a CRC error
schedules the work during teardown it can run after the ports have been
freed and dereference freed memory.
Guard the port walk with MXL862XX_FLAG_WORK_STOPPED, which is already set
before dsa_unregister_switch(). DSA tears the ports down under
rtnl_lock(), so checking the flag under rtnl_lock() means the work either
runs before teardown and sees valid ports, or runs afterwards, observes
the flag and skips the walk. This mirrors the host_flood_work handler,
which skips torn-down ports under rtnl_lock().

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
geneve: validate inner network offset in geneve_gro_complete()
Even with both paths gated on gs-gro_hint, geneve_gro_complete()
re-derives the inner dispatch type and length from the packet and the
current gs->gro_hint, independently of geneve_gro_receive(). The two can
disagree if gs->gro_hint flips under a concurrent geneve_quiesce()/
geneve_unquiesce() (sk_user_data is NULL across a synchronize_net()), or if
the re-read option bytes differ from the ones receive parsed.
geneve_gro_receive() already records the inner network header position in
NAPI_GRO_CB()->inner_network_offset. Have geneve_gro_complete() compute the
offset it is about to dispatch at, adding ETH_HLEN in the ETH_P_TEB case
where eth_gro_complete() steps over the inner MAC header, and bail out if
it lands past inner_network_offset.
Use a lower bound rather than exact equality: between gh_len and the inner
L3 header, geneve_gro_receive() may also have pulled an inner VLAN tag
(vlan_gro_receive() advances the recorded offset past it), which only moves
inner_network_offset further out. A valid frame therefore always satisfies
inner_nh = inner_network_offset, while a gh_len inflated by a hint
gro_receive() did not honour dispatches past the validated inner header,
i.e. the out-of-bounds completion. Only the latter is rejected.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: udp_tunnel: prevent double queueing in udp_tunnel_nic_device_sync
Yue Sun reported a use-after-free and debugobjects warning in
udp_tunnel_nic_device_sync_work() during concurrent device operations.
The workqueue core clears the internal pending bit before invoking the
worker. At that point, a concurrent thread can queue the work again.
When the already running worker eventually clears the work_pending flag
to 0, it mistakenly clears the flag for the newly queued instance.
udp_tunnel_nic_unregister() then observes work_pending as 0 and frees
the structure while the second work item is still active in the queue,
leading to UAF.
Fix this by returning early in udp_tunnel_nic_device_sync() if
work_pending is already set, preventing redundant work queueing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix insn_aux_data leak on verifier err_free_env path
When bpf_check() allocates env-insn_aux_data successfully but later
fails to allocate env->succ, it jumps directly to err_free_env.
The existing vfree(env->insn_aux_data) sits before the err_free_env
label, so that direct jump bypasses it and leaks insn_aux_data.
Move vfree(env->insn_aux_data) into err_free_env so all early and late
exit paths release it consistently.

CVE-2026-72400
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
seg6: validate SRH length before reading fixed fields
seg6_validate_srh() reads fixed SRH fields such as srh-type and
srh->hdrlen before checking that the supplied length covers the fixed
struct ipv6_sr_hdr fields.
The BPF SEG6 encap path reaches this with a BPF program-supplied pointer
and length: bpf_lwt_push_encap() and the SEG6 local BPF END_B6 and
END_B6_ENCAP actions call bpf_push_seg6_encap(), which forwards the
length to seg6_validate_srh() with no minimum-size guard. A 2-byte SEG6
encap header can therefore make the validator read srh->type at offset 2
beyond the caller-supplied buffer.
Reject lengths shorter than the fixed SRH at the top of
seg6_validate_srh(), before any field is read. This fixes the BPF helper
path and keeps the common validator robust.

CVE-2026-72390

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: sch_teql: Introduce slaves_lock to avoid race condition and UAF
The teql master-slaves singly linked list is not protected against
multiple writes. It can be mod'ed concurently from teql_master_xmit(),
teql_dequeue(), teql_init() and teql_destroy() without holding any list
lock or RCU protection.
zdi-disclosures@trendmicro.com has demonstrated that the qdisc is freed
after an RCU grace period, but teql_master_xmit() running on another
CPU can still hold a stale pointer into the list, resulting in a
slab-use-after-free:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in teql_master_xmit+0xf0f/0x16b0
Read of size 8 at addr ffff888013fb0440 by task poc/332
Freed 512-byte region [ffff888013fb0400, ffff888013fb0600) (kmalloc-512)
The fix?
Add a per-master slaves_lock spinlock that serializes all mutations of
master->slaves and the NEXT_SLAVE() links in teql_destroy() and
teql_qdisc_init(). teql_master_xmit() also takes the same slaves_lock
around those updates.
Annotate master->slaves and the per-slave ->next pointer with __rcu and
use the appropriate RCU accessors everywhere they are touched:
rcu_assign_pointer() on the writer side (under slaves_lock),
rcu_dereference_protected() for the writer-side loads (also under
slaves_lock), rcu_dereference_bh() for the loads in teql_master_xmit() and
rtnl_dereference() for the loads in teql_master_open()/teql_master_mtu(),
which run under RTNL.
Pair this with rcu_read_lock_bh()/rcu_read_unlock_bh() around the list
traversal in teql_master_xmit(), so that readers either observe a fully
linked list or are deferred until the in-flight mutation completes. The two
early-return paths in teql_master_xmit() are updated to release the RCU-bh
read-side critical section before returning, since leaving it held would
disable BH on that CPU for good.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bridge: stp: Fix a potential use-after-free when deleting a bridge
The three STP timers are not supposed to be armed while the bridge is
administratively down. They are synchronously deactivated when the
bridge is put administratively down and the various call sites check for
'IFF_UP' before arming them.
This check is missing from br_topology_change_detection() and it is
possible to engineer a situation in which the topology change timer is
armed while the bridge is administratively down, resulting in a
use-after-free [1] when the bridge is deleted.
Fix by adding the missing check and for good measures synchronously
shutdown the three timers when the bridge is deleted.

CVE-2026-72379
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs: refuse O_TMPFILE creation with an unmapped fsuid or fsgid
vfs_tmpfile() never checked that the caller's fsuid and fsgid map into
the filesystem. On an idmapped mount whose idmapping does not cover the
caller's fs{u,g}id, the -tmpfile() instance initializes the new inode
through inode_init_owner(), where mapped_fsuid()/mapped_fsgid() return
INVALID_UID/INVALID_GID, and the tmpfile ends up owned by (uid_t)-1.
Every other creation path already refuses this: may_o_create() (O_CREAT)
and may_create_dentry() (mkdir, mknod, symlink, link) bail out with
-EOVERFLOW via fsuidgid_has_mapping() precisely so that an object cannot
be created with an owner the filesystem cannot represent. An O_TMPFILE
is no exception: it is created I_LINKABLE and linkat(2) can splice it
into the namespace afterwards, so the same guarantee must hold.
Add the missing fsuidgid_has_mapping() check to vfs_tmpfile(). On a
non-idmapped mount the caller's fs{u,g}id always map in the superblock's
user namespace, so this is a no-op there and only takes effect on an
idmapped mount that does not map the caller. It applies to every
filesystem that sets FS_ALLOW_IDMAP and implements ->tmpfile() (tmpfs,
ext4, btrfs, xfs, f2fs, ...), and to overlayfs, whose upper-layer
tmpfile creation funnels through vfs_tmpfile() via backing_tmpfile_open().

CVE-2026-72367
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iomap: guard io_size EOF trim against concurrent truncate underflow
iomap: fix zero padding data issue in concurrent append writes
changed ioend accounting so that io_size tracks only valid data
within EOF. This trims io_size when a writeback range extends
past end_pos:
ioend-io_size += map_len;
if (ioend->io_offset + ioend->io_size > end_pos)
ioend->io_size = end_pos - ioend->io_offset;
However, if end_pos ends up below ioend->io_offset, the subtraction
becomes negative and is stored in size_t io_size, causing an unsigned
wrap to a huge value. This can happen when writeback continues past
byte-level EOF up to a block-aligned range, or when a concurrent
truncate shrinks the file after end_pos was sampled in
iomap_writeback_handle_eof().
A wrapped io_size can mislead append detection and corrupt
completion-time size handling, since filesystem end_io paths consume
io_size for decisions such as on-disk EOF updates and unwritten/COW
completion ranges.
Fix this by clamping io_size to zero when EOF has moved to or before
the ioend start offset. This preserves the original intent of trimming
io_size to valid in-EOF data while avoiding the underflow.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/pt: prevent invalid cursor access for purged BOs
During a page table walk for binding, xe_pt_stage_bind() explicitly
skips initializing the xe_res_cursor for purged BOs, treating them
similarly to NULL VMAs by only setting the cursor size.
However, xe_pt_hugepte_possible() and xe_pt_scan_64K() did not check
if the BO was purged before attempting to walk the cursor using
xe_res_dma() and xe_res_next(). Because the cursor was left
uninitialized for purged BOs, this falls through and triggers
warnings like:
WARNING: drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_res_cursor.h:274 at xe_res_next
Fix this by explicitly checking if the BO is purged in both
xe_pt_hugepte_possible() and xe_pt_scan_64K(), returning early just
as we do for NULL VMAs, avoiding the invalid cursor accesses entirely.
As a precaution, also zero-initialize the cursor in xe_pt_stage_bind()
to ensure we don't pass garbage data into the page table walkers
if we ever hit a similar edge case in the future.
