In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw89: add bounds check on firmware mac_id in link lookup
The mac_id field in RX descriptors is 8 bits wide (0-255), but
assoc_link_on_macid[] has only RTW89_MAX_MAC_ID_NUM (128) entries.
While the driver currently assigns mac_id values below 128, the
descriptor value comes from firmware and is not validated before use
as an array index. Add a defensive bounds check in
rtw89_assoc_link_rcu_dereference() to guard against out-of-range
firmware values.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: fix crash in bpf_[set|remove]_dentry_xattr for negative dentries
bpf_set_dentry_xattr and bpf_remove_dentry_xattr BPF kfuncs attempt to
lock the inode of the supplied dentry without checking if it is
NULL. If a negative dentry is passed (e.g. from
security_inode_create), d_inode(dentry) returns NULL, and
inode_lock(inode) will cause a NULL pointer dereference.
Trivially fix this by adding a NULL check for inode before attempting
to lock it, returning -EINVAL if it is NULL.
Additionally, drop WARN_ON(!inode) in bpf_xattr_read_permission() and
bpf_xattr_write_permission(). These warnings could be triggered by
passing a negative dentry to bpf_get_dentry_xattr() or the _locked
variants of the xattr kfuncs, potentially causing a Denial of Service
on systems with panic_on_warn enabled. Instead, simply return -EINVAL.

CVE-2026-74391
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Bound synthetic-field strings with seq_buf
The synthetic field helpers build a prefixed synthetic variable name and
a generated hist command in fixed MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL buffers. The
current code appends those strings with raw strcat(), so long key lists,
field names, or saved filters can run past the end of the staging
buffers.
Build both strings with seq_buf and propagate -E2BIG if either the
synthetic variable name or the generated command exceeds
MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL. This keeps the existing tracing-side limit while
using the helper intended for bounded command construction.

CVE-2026-74386
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-tcp: fix page fragment cache leak in error path
In nvmet_tcp_alloc_queue(), when a connection is closed during the
allocation process (e.g., nvmet_tcp_set_queue_sock() returns -ENOTCONN),
the error handling jumps to out_destroy_sq and then to out_ida_remove
without draining the page fragment cache.
Although nvmet_tcp_free_cmd() is called in some error paths to release
individual page fragments, the underlying page cache reference held by
queue-pf_cache is never released. The first allocation using pf_cache
is the call to nvmet_tcp_alloc_cmd() for queue->connect, which happens
after ida_alloc() returns successfully. This results in a page leak each
time a connection fails during allocation, which could lead to memory
exhaustion over time if connections are repeatedly opened and closed.
Fix this by calling page_frag_cache_drain() before freeing the queue
structure in the out_ida_remove label.

CVE-2026-74381
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpu: host1x: Allow entries in BO caches to be freed
When a buffer object is pinned via host1x_bo_pin() with a cache, the
resulting mapping is kept in the cache so it can be reused on subsequent
pins. Each mapping held a reference to the underlying host1x_bo (taken
in tegra_bo_pin / gather_bo_pin), so as long as a mapping was cached,
the bo itself could not be freed.
However, the only way to remove the cached mapping was through the free
path of the buffer object. This meant that if a bo got cached, it could
never get freed again.
Resolve the circularity by holding a weak reference to the bo from the
cache side. This is done by having the .pin callbacks not bump the bo's
refcount -- instead the common Host1x bo code does so, except for the
cache reference.
Also move the remove-cache-mapping-on-free code into a common function
inside Host1x code. This is only called from the TegraDRM GEM buffers
since those are the only ones that can be cached at the moment.

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
raid1: fix nr_pending leak in REQ_ATOMIC bad-block error path
In raid1_write_request(), each per-mirror loop iteration begins by
incrementing rdev-nr_pending. If a REQ_ATOMIC write encounters a
badblock within the requested range, the code jumps to err_handle
without dropping the reference taken for the current mirror.
err_handle's cleanup loop will only decrements for k i and
r1_bio->bios[k] is non-NULL. The current slot is therefore skipped,
leaving its nr_pending reference leaked permanently. The reference
prevents the rdev from ever being removed, since raid1_remove_conf()
refuses to remove an rdev with nr_pending > 0.
Fix this by calling rdev_dec_pending() before jumping to err_handle.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
liveupdate: fix u-a-f in luo_file_unpreserve_files() and luo_file_finish()
In luo_file_unpreserve_files() and luo_file_finish(), reorder
module_put() and xa_erase() to ensure the file handler module remains
pinned while its operations are being accessed.
Specifically, luo_get_id() dereferences fh-ops->get_id, so the module
reference must be held until after xa_erase() (which calls luo_get_id)
completes.
For luo_file_finish(), this requires moving the module_put() call out of
the luo_file_finish_one() helper and into the main loop of
luo_file_finish() itself.

CVE-2026-74363

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: fix UAF by restoring RCU-delayed inode freeing in bpffs
commit 4f375ade6aa9 ("bpf: Avoid RCU context warning when unpinning
htab with internal structs") moved inode cleanup from -free_inode()
into ->destroy_inode() to avoid sleeping in RCU context when calling
bpf_any_put(). However this removed the RCU delay on freeing the
inode itself and the cached symlink body (i_link), both of which
can be accessed by RCU pathwalk (pick_link, may_lookup etc.).
This causes a use-after-free when a concurrent unlinkat() drops the
last inode reference and destroy_inode() frees the inode immediately,
while another task is still walking the path in RCU mode and reads
inode->i_opflags (offset +2) inside current_time() -> is_mgtime().
KASAN reports:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in is_mgtime include/linux/fs.h:2313
Read of size 2 at addr ffff8880407e4282 (offset +2 = i_opflags)
The rules (per Al Viro):
->destroy_inode() called immediately, can sleep, use for blocking
cleanup e.g. bpf_any_put()
->free_inode() called after RCU grace period, use for freeing
inode and anything RCU-accessible e.g. i_link
Fix: split the two concerns properly:
- keep bpf_any_put() in bpf_destroy_inode() since it is blocking
and needs to run promptly
- introduce bpf_free_inode() to handle kfree(i_link) and
free_inode_nonrcu() with proper RCU delay, preventing the UAF

Fix ext2_dio_write_iter() to propagate the error returned by
generic_write_sync() instead of silently discarding it, which could

even when the sync failed.
The correct pattern, already used in ext2_dax_write_iter() in the same

•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost: fix vhost_get_avail_idx for a non empty ring
vhost_get_avail_idx is supposed to report whether it has updated
vq-avail_idx. Instead, it returns whether all entries have been
consumed, which is usually the same. But not always - in
drivers/vhost/net.c and when mergeable buffers have been enabled, the
driver checks whether the combined entries are big enough to store an
incoming packet. If not, the driver re-enables notifications with
available entries still in the ring. The incorrect return value from
vhost_get_avail_idx propagates through vhost_enable_notify and causes
the host to livelock if the guest is not making progress, as vhost will
immediately disable notifications and retry using the available entries.
This goes back to commit d3bb267bbdcb ("vhost: cache avail index in
vhost_enable_notify()") which changed vhost_enable_notify() to compare
the freshly read avail index against vq->last_avail_idx instead of the
previously cached vq->avail_idx. Commit 7ad472397667 ("vhost: move
smp_rmb() into vhost_get_avail_idx()") then carried over the same
comparison when refactoring vhost_enable_notify() to call the unified
vhost_get_avail_idx().
The obvious fix is to make vhost_get_avail_idx do what the comment
says it does and report whether new entries have been added.

Taking mmap_read_lock under arena-lock would AB-BA against

mmap_write_lock held and then acquire arena->lock. Instead drop
arena->lock, mmget_not_zero() the vma's mm, take mmap_read_lock, and
re-resolve the vma via find_vma() since it may have been unmapped or
replaced while waiting.
Track processed vmls with a per-call generation in vml->zap_gen and
serialize zap_pages() callers with a new arena->zap_mutex so
concurrent callers on different uaddr ranges do not mark each other's
vmls processed before the zap is done.

of: reserved_mem: avoid post-init UAF when alloc_reserved_mem_array() fails
The global pointer 'reserved_mem' continues to reference the
