CVE-2026-74488
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mwifiex: use the subframe length when parsing A-MSDU TDLS frames
mwifiex_11n_dispatch_amsdu_pkt() splits an A-MSDU with
ieee80211_amsdu_to_8023s() and walks the resulting subframes. For each
subframe it passes the subframe data pointer to
mwifiex_process_tdls_action_frame(), but pairs it with skb-len, the
length of the A-MSDU parent, instead of rx_skb->len:
rx_skb = __skb_dequeue(&list);
rx_hdr = (struct rx_packet_hdr *)rx_skb->data;
if (ISSUPP_TDLS_ENABLED(priv->adapter->fw_cap_info) &&
ntohs(rx_hdr->eth803_hdr.h_proto) == ETH_P_TDLS) {
mwifiex_process_tdls_action_frame(priv, (u8 *)rx_hdr,
skb->len);
}
The parent is not a valid description of that buffer, and may not be
valid memory at all. ieee80211_amsdu_to_8023s() ends with
if (!reuse_skb)
dev_kfree_skb(skb);
and it only sets reuse_skb when the parent is linear, is not a
head_frag, and is being consumed as the *last* subframe. So when the
parent does not qualify for reuse it has already been freed, and the
read of skb->len is a use-after-free. When it is reused, skb->len is
the length of the last subframe, applied to every earlier subframe,
which over-states the buffer whenever an earlier subframe is shorter.
The callee cannot absorb a wrong length, because it derives its own
ceiling from the value it is given. Each frame type computes
ies_len = len - sizeof(struct ethhdr) - TDLS_*_FIX_LEN;
and the element walk is then bounded entirely against that ceiling,
for (end = pos + ies_len; pos + 1 end; pos += 2 + pos[1]) {
u8 ie_len = pos[1];
if (pos + 2 + ie_len > end)
break;
so a too-large len moves end past the end of the subframe and the walk
reads and copies beyond it. The A-MSDU layout is chosen by the sender,
which makes the difference between the last subframe and a shorter
earlier one remotely selectable. Reaching this requires TDLS support in
firmware and the TDLS ethertype on the subframe.
The other caller, mwifiex_process_rx_packet(), is correct: it passes a
pointer and a length that describe the same region of the RX buffer.
Pass rx_skb->len, the length of the subframe actually being parsed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binfmt_misc: restore write access when removing an entry
Registering an entry with the MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE flag opens the
interpreter via open_exec() which denies write access to it for as
long as the entry exists. Removing the entry closes the interpreter
file via filp_close() but never restores write access, leaving the
inode's i_writecount permanently negative. Opening the interpreter
for writing keeps failing with ETXTBSY long after the entry is gone
until the inode is evicted from the inode cache.
Commit 90f601b497d7 ("binfmt_misc: restore write access before
closing files opened by open_exec()") fixed the same imbalance in the
error path of bm_register_write() but the actual removal path has
been leaking the write denial since the introduction of the flag.
Restore write access in put_binfmt_handler() before closing the
interpreter file.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/huge_memory: unlock i_mmap_rwsem before releasing after-split folios
__folio_split() keeps dereferencing the mapping after the split:
shmem_uncharge(mapping-host) and remap_page() while the folios are still
frozen/locked, and i_mmap_unlock_read(mapping) at the very end, after the
after-split folios have been unlocked and freed.
Nothing holds an inode reference across that. The split relies on @folio
-- which the beyond-EOF drop loop never removes, as it starts at
folio_next(folio) -- staying locked and in the page cache to hold off
eviction. But the unlock loop unlocks @folio before i_mmap_unlock_read()
runs. If the caller's @lock_at is a tail beyond EOF, as memory_failure()
passes when splitting a poisoned tail of a shmem THP that reaches past
i_size during truncation, it too is gone from the page cache; so once
@folio is unlocked no locked, in-cache folio pins the inode, and a
concurrent final iput() can evict and RCU-free it before
i_mmap_unlock_read() touches i_mmap_rwsem:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __up_read+0x634/0x790
i_mmap_unlock_read include/linux/fs.h:537 [inline]
__folio_split+0x732/0x1640 mm/huge_memory.c:4100

shmem_free_in_core_inode+0x54/0xb0 mm/shmem.c:5177
evict+0x57f/0xac0 fs/inode.c:870
Do every mapping dereference while @folio still pins the inode: drop
i_mmap_rwsem right after remap_page(), before the loop that unlocks and
frees the after-split folios, and clear @mapping so the exit path does not
unlock it again. shmem_uncharge() and remap_page() already run before
that point, so after this nothing past the unlock loop touches the inode
or the mapping.
This is now a rule the split depends on, alongside keeping @folio frozen
until the page cache is updated: no inode or mapping dereference once the
after-split folios start being unlocked.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/page_reporting: use system_freezable_wq to fix UAF during suspend
During PM freeze (e.g. S3 suspend or S4 hibernation), device drivers like
virtio_balloon reset their underlying virtio devices and delete their
virtqueues via vdev-config->del_vqs().
However, page reporting work (page_reporting_process) was scheduled on the
global system_wq. Because system_wq lacks the WQ_FREEZABLE flag, the PM
freezer skips it, leaving page_reporting_process active during suspend.
If pages are freed into the buddy allocator while suspending (for example,
when core MM invokes the balloon shrinker during S4 hibernation image
saving), page reporting triggers virtballoon_free_page_report() on deleted
virtqueues, resulting in a Use-After-Free / General Protection Fault:
[ 196.795226] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xaa1436fe70dae6df: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI
[ 196.825967] Workqueue: events page_reporting_process
[ 196.831038] RIP: 0010:virtqueue_add_split+0x233/0x4c0 [virtio_ring]
[ 196.927073] virtballoon_free_page_report+0x3a/0xe0 [virtio_balloon]
[ 196.946943] page_reporting_process+0x370/0x4f0
Fix this by switching page reporting work to system_freezable_wq. This
ensures that the PM freezer pauses page_reporting_process before device
drivers destroy their reporting virtqueues. Because the reporting worker
is frozen, memory reclamation/freeing (e.g. via shrinker execution) can
safely return pages to MM during freeze without triggering unfrozen
reporting work on deleted virtqueues.
This aligns with the driver's existing design. The comment in
virtballoon_freeze() states:
/*
* The workqueue is already frozen by the PM core before this
* function is called.
*/
Testing:
I have verified these fixes using Google’s virtualization infrastructure
by running continuous suspend/resume iterations (40+ cycles) while
churning memory using stress-ng (`stress-ng --vm 4 --vm-bytes 60%
--timeout 1`) to constantly create free pages for the buddy allocator. We
also set the `page_reporting_order` parameter to 0 to make the page
reporting worker highly sensitive, forcing it to pick up any 4K free
pages. This confirmed that the UAF crashes are no longer reproducible.

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
veth: convert frag_list skbs before running XDP
A frag_list skb can reach veth with data_len set but nr_frags zero.
veth_convert_skb_to_xdp_buff() only converts skbs that are shared,
locked, have frags[], or do not have enough headroom. It later uses
skb_is_nonlinear() to decide whether to set XDP_FLAGS_HAS_FRAGS and
xdp_frags_size.
That exposes frag_list data to XDP as if it were stored in frags[], but
frags[] is empty. AF_XDP copy mode can then trust the bogus XDP fragment
metadata, walk an empty fragment entry, and crash in memcpy() from
__xsk_rcv().
Route non-linear skbs through skb_pp_cow_data() before exposing them to
XDP, and only advertise XDP frags when the resulting skb has frags[].
skb_copy_bits() already handles frag_list input, and skb_pp_cow_data()
builds frags[] output with skb_add_rx_frag(), which is the
representation XDP multi-buffer expects.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: use neigh_ha_snapshot() in route_shortcircuit()
The neighbour hardware address n-ha can be updated asynchronously by the
neighbour subsystem, protected by n->ha_lock seqlock. Reading n->ha without
holding the seqlock loop can lead to torn reads or reading a partially updated
MAC address.
Use neigh_ha_snapshot() in route_shortcircuit() to safely copy n->ha under
read_seqbegin()/read_seqretry() lock protection before using it.
Note that arp_reduce() and neigh_reduce() seem to have the same issue
left for future patches.

CVE-2026-74473
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: use pskb_network_may_pull() in route_shortcircuit()
route_shortcircuit() currently calls pskb_may_pull(skb, sizeof(struct iphdr))
(or ipv6hdr), which checks if bytes are available starting from skb-data.
However, in vxlan_xmit(), skb->data points to the MAC header, so
skb_network_offset(skb) is ETH_HLEN (14 bytes). Using pskb_may_pull(skb, 20)
only checks 20 bytes from skb->data (which is 14 bytes MAC header + 6 bytes of
IP header), leaving the rest of the IP header potentially un-pulled in non-linear
frags. Subsequent dereferences of ip_hdr(skb)->daddr can read beyond the pulled
linear buffer length.
Fix this by using pskb_network_may_pull(), which adds skb_network_offset(skb) to
the length check to ensure the full network header is present in the linear buffer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: prevent peer transport count overflow
sctp_assoc_add_peer() increments the association's 16-bit transport_count
for every new unique peer. Adding the 65,536th transport wraps the count to
zero.
SCTP sock_diag uses transport_count to reserve the INET_DIAG_PEERS payload,
then copies one sockaddr_storage for every entry in transport_addr_list.
After the wrap, a diagnostic dump reserves an empty payload and writes
8 MiB of peer addresses past the skb tail.
Reject a new unique peer when transport_count has reached U16_MAX. Perform
the check after the existing-peer lookup so a duplicate address continues
to return its existing transport at the limit.

CVE-2026-74462
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: imx: mark I2C adapter when hardware is powered down
On some i.MX platforms, certain I2C client drivers keep a periodic
workqueue which continues to trigger I2C transfers.
During system suspend/resume, there exists a time window between:
- suspend_noirq and the system entering suspend
- the system starting to resume and resume_noirq
In this window, the I2C controller resources such as clock and pinctrl
may already be disabled or not yet restored.
If a workqueue triggers an I2C transfer in this period, the driver
attempts to access I2C registers while the hardware resources are
unavailable, which may lead to system hang.
Mark the I2C adapter as suspended during noirq suspend and block new
transfers until resume, ensuring that I2C transfers are only issued
when hardware resources are available.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: etas_es58x: es58x_read_bulk_callback(): fix RX buffer leak on URB resubmit failure
es58x_read_bulk_callback() resubmits the RX URB after processing a received
packet. If the resubmit succeeds, the URB remains anchored and will be
handled by the normal RX path or by teardown.
However, if usb_submit_urb() fails, the callback unanchors the URB and then
returns directly. This skips the existing free_urb path, so the coherent
transfer buffer allocated with usb_alloc_coherent() is not released.
Reuse the existing free_urb path after a resubmit failure so that the RX
coherent buffer is freed before leaving the callback.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/pm: fix pptable use-after-free
amdgpu_dpm_get_pp_table() returns a pointer to a driver-owned power table
after dropping adev-pm.mutex. The sysfs path then copies from that pointer.
A concurrent pp_table write can replace and free the allocation during the
copy, causing a use-after-free.
Change the DPM interface to copy into caller-provided storage while the mutex
is held. Keep the size-only query for attribute discovery without exposing
the driver-owned pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: fix QID bit leak in pqm_create_queue()
When MES is enabled and amdgpu_amdkfd_alloc_kernel_mem() fails during
the first queue creation for a process, pqm_create_queue() returns
early via 'return retval' without going through the err_create_queue
cleanup label.
This means clear_bit(*qid, pqm-queue_slot_bitmap) is never called,
leaving the reserved QID bit permanently set in queue_slot_bitmap.
Over time this leaks QID slots, potentially exhausting all available
queue slots.
Fix this by replacing 'return retval' with 'goto err_allocate_pqn'
so that clear_bit() is always called on the error path without
touching the uninitialized pqn pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: fix uint32_t overflow in EOP ring buffer size alignment
eop_ring_buffer_size in struct queue_properties is a u32. In
kfd_queue_acquire_buffers() the expected EOP buffer size is computed as
ALIGN(eop_ring_buffer_size, PAGE_SIZE); ALIGN uses typeof(x), so the
addition is done in 32-bit. A user-supplied size of 0xFFFFF001 wraps to
0, causing kfd_queue_buffer_get() to skip its exact-size check (gated on
size != 0) and accept any BO mapped at the address. On GFX8/GFX9 the MQD
cp_hqd_eop_control is then programmed for an 8KB EOP ring backed by a 4KB
BO, so CP EOP writes can land past the buffer and fault the GPU.
Cast the operand to u64 so the alignment is computed in 64-bit; the size
check in kfd_queue_buffer_get() then rejects the oversized request.

vmw_cmd_dx_bind_query() unconditionally dereferences
sw_context-dx_ctx_node->ctx. Userspace can trigger a NULL pointer
dereference from any render-node fd by submitting an execbuf with
dx_context_handle == SVGA3D_INVALID_ID and a SVGA_3D_CMD_DX_BIND_QUERY
opcode in the command stream: dx_ctx_node is left NULL and the kernel
oopses on the assignment. The same NULL is then re-read in
vmw_resources_reserve() via vmw_context_get_dx_query_mob().
All sibling DX handlers fail-close on a missing dx_ctx_node using
VMW_GET_CTX_NODE(). Use the same pattern here, returning -EINVAL up
front before any relocation state is published.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: Wait on external BO kernel fences in exec IOCTL
Before arming a user job, xe_exec_ioctl() only added the VM's
dma-resv KERNEL slot as a dependency. That slot covers rebinds and
the kernel operations of the VM's private BOs, but not external BOs
(bo-vm == NULL), which carry their kernel operations (evictions,
moves, ...) in their own dma-resv KERNEL slot.
The DMA_RESV_USAGE_KERNEL slot is the cross-driver contract for
memory management operations that must complete before the BO or its
backing store may be used: any accessor is required to wait on the
KERNEL fences before touching the resv. By skipping the external BOs'
KERNEL slots, the exec path violated that contract and could schedule
a user job while a kernel operation on an external BO mapped by the VM
was still in flight, racing against it and potentially reading or
writing memory that was being moved.
Replace the VM-only dependency with an iteration over every object
locked by the exec, adding each object's KERNEL slot as a job
dependency. This covers the VM resv (rebinds and private BOs) as well
as every external BO, mirroring the drm_gpuvm_resv_add_fence() call
that later publishes the job fence to the same set of objects.
Long-running mode continues to skip this, as before.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: sun4i-ss - Remove insecure and unused rng_alg
Remove sun4i_ss_rng, as it is insecure and unused:
- It has multiple vulnerabilities. sun4i_ss_prng_seed() is missing
locking and has a buffer overflow. sun4i_ss_prng_generate() fails to
fill the entire buffer with cryptographic random bytes, because it
rounds the destination length down and also doesn't actually wait for
the hardware to be ready before pulling bytes from it.
- No user of this code is known. It's usable only theoretically via the
"rng" algorithm type of AF_ALG. But userspace actually just uses the
actual Linux RNG (/dev/random etc) instead. And rng_algs don't
contribute entropy to the actual Linux RNG either. (This may have
been confused with hwrng, which does contribute entropy.)
The sun4i_ss_prng_seed() buffer overflow was reported by Tianchu Chen
and discovered by Atuin - Automated Vulnerability Discovery Engine
There's no point in fixing all these vulnerabilities individually when
this is unused code, so let's just remove it.
