published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix folio_queue ENOMEM in writeback by adding a mempool
Fix the handling of folio_queue allocation failure in writeback by adding a
mempool and passing in gfp_t flags to the rolling buffer functions that
allocate memory, using the mempool if gfp != GFP_KERNEL.
This is then extended upwards and the gfp to be used for a request is stored
in the netfs_io_request struct and is then used for both requests and
subrequests, eliminating the sleeping loops there.
The failure caused:
folio != NULL

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sxgbe: free TX rings on RX allocation failure
When RX descriptor ring allocation fails, init_dma_desc_rings() only
frees the partially allocated RX rings and returns. The TX rings that
were allocated earlier in the same function are leaked.
Rearrange error labels to clean up TX rings upon RX failures.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: mm: Fix out-of-bounds page-table walk during memory hot-remove
remove_pud_mapping() and remove_p4d_mapping() obtain a child table base
with pud_offset(p4dp, 0) and p4d_offset(pgd, 0), then add the index for
addr.
RISC-V folds page-table levels at runtime. When a level is folded, its
offset helper returns the parent entry itself, but the index can still be
nonzero. Adding it walks past the parent table. Sv48 folds P4D, while Sv39
folds both P4D and PUD, so memory hot-remove can descend into unrelated
memory and pass an invalid page to __free_pages(). This can trigger:
kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:1810!
VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_ref_count(page) == 0)
arch_remove_memory+0x1e/0x5c
try_remove_memory+0x15e/0x200
remove_memory+0x24/0x3c
Only add the index when the corresponding page-table level is enabled,
matching p4d_offset() and pud_offset().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix use-after-free in __close_file_table_ids()
A ksmbd_file can remain alive after logical close while another session
holds a temporary reference obtained through ksmbd_lookup_fd_inode().
ksmbd_close_fd() currently marks the file closed and drops the idr-owned
reference, but leaves the pointer published in the closing session's idr
until the final reference is dropped.
If the foreign holder performs the final ksmbd_fd_put(), __put_fd_final()
supplies the foreign session's file table to __ksmbd_close_fd(). The object
is then freed without being removed from its owner's idr, and the owner
session later dereferences the stale pointer during file-table teardown.
Remove the volatile id from the owner's idr while ksmbd_close_fd() still
holds that table's lock, and clear volatile_id before dropping
the idr-owned reference. A later foreign final put then only performs
physical destruction and cannot remove the object from the wrong table.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: use memcmp() to compare ClientGUIDs
ClientGUID is a fixed-size binary value and can contain embedded NUL
bytes. strncmp() stops comparing at the first NUL byte, so different
ClientGUID values can incorrectly be treated as equal.
Use memcmp() in SMB3 multichannel session binding and
FSCTL_VALIDATE_NEGOTIATE_INFO to compare all SMB2_CLIENT_GUID_SIZE
bytes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Clear Present bit before tearing down scalable-mode context entry
device_pasid_table_teardown() zeroes the 128-bit scalable-mode context
entry with context_clear_entry() while the Present bit is still set. This
creates a window where the hardware can fetch a torn entry, with some
fields already zeroed while Present is still set, leading to unpredictable
behavior or spurious faults. The context-cache invalidation is issued only
after the entry has been zeroed, and intel_pasid_free_table() then frees
the PASID directory pages, so the IOMMU can keep walking a stale Present=1
entry that points at freed memory.
While x86 provides strong write ordering, the compiler may reorder the two
64-bit writes to the entry, and the hardware fetch is not guaranteed to be
atomic with respect to multiple CPU writes.
Commit c1e4f1dccbe9d ("iommu/vt-d: Clear Present bit before tearing down
context entry") fixed this exact pattern in domain_context_clear_one() and
the copied-context path, but device_pasid_table_teardown() was not
converted.
Align it with the "Guidance to Software for Invalidations" in the VT-d
spec, Section 6.5.3.3, using the same ownership handshake as the sibling
fix: clear only the Present bit, flush it to the IOMMU, perform the
context-cache invalidation, and only then zero the rest of the entry.

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: handle CB.InitCallBackState3 requests without a server record
The cache manager callback path now attaches the server record to an
incoming call through the rxrpc peer's app data. That association is
not guaranteed to exist for every callback request, and most callback
handlers already tolerate that case.
Make CB.InitCallBackState3 follow the same pattern by checking whether a
server record was attached before using it. If the peer is not mapped
to a server record, trace the request and ignore it, matching the
existing behaviour for other unmatched callback requests.
This keeps the callback handler consistent with the rest of the cache
manager service and avoids depending on peer state that may not be
available for a given request.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/rockchip: inno-hdmi: Switch to drmm_kzalloc()
Driver makes use of drmm_encoder_init() to initialize the encoder and
automatically handle the cleanup by registering drm_encoder_cleanup()
with drmm_add_action().
However, the internal structure containing the encoder part gets
allocated with devm_kzalloc(), which happens while component_bind_all()
is being called from Rockchip DRM driver. The component framework
further ensures it is deallocated as part of releasing all the resources
claimed during bind, which is triggered from component_unbind_all().
When the reference to the DRM device gets eventually dropped via
drm_dev_put() in rockchip_drm_unbind(), drmm_encoder_alloc_release()
attempts to access the now released encoder structure, leading to
use-after-free.
Ensure driver's internal structure is still reachable on encoder cleanup
by switching from a device-managed allocation to a drm-managed one.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/gpusvm: Reject VMAs with VM_IO or VM_PFNMAP when creating SVM ranges
VMAs marked with VM_IO or VM_PFNMAP are not backed by struct page
objects, which GPUSVM requires in order to operate correctly. In
particular, get_pages() relies on hmm_range_fault() to resolve struct
pages for the target range.
Attempting to create an SVM range on such VMAs results in repeated
get_pages() failures and can lead to an infinite loop inside a driver’s
page‑fault handler. Prevent this by rejecting ranges on VM_IO or
VM_PFNMAP VMAs and returning -EIO.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma-fence: Fix potential tracepoint null pointer dereferences
Trace_dma_fence_signaled, trace_dma_fence_wait_end and
trace_dma_fence_destroy can all currently dereference a null fence-ops
pointer after it has been reset on fence signalling.
Lets use the safe string getters for most tracepoints to avoid this class
of a problem, while for the signal tracepoint we move it to before ops are
cleared to avoid losing the driver and timeline name information. Apart
from moving it we also need to add a new tracepoint class to bypass the
safe name getters since the signaled bit is already set.
For dma_fence_init we also need to use the new tracepoint class since the
rcu read lock is not held there, and we can do the same for the enable
signaling since there we are certain the fence cannot be signaled while
we are holding the lock and have even validated the fence->ops.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw88: fix wrong pci_get_drvdata type in AER handlers
rtw88 stores an ieee80211_hw pointer via pci_set_drvdata() at probe
time, but io_error_detected() and io_resume() retrieve it as a
net_device pointer. This causes netif_device_detach/attach to
operate on an ieee80211_hw struct, reading and writing at wrong
offsets.
Use ieee80211_stop_queues/wake_queues instead, consistent with
every other queue stop/start path in the driver.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k: fix OOB access from firmware tx status queue ID
ath_tx_edma_tasklet() accesses sc-tx.txq[ts.qid] where ts.qid is a
4-bit hardware field (0-15), but the txq array only has
ATH9K_NUM_TX_QUEUES (10) entries. A qid >= 10 causes an OOB array
access.
Add a bounds check on ts.qid before using it as an array index.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
OPP: Fix race between OPP addition and lookup
A race exists between dev_pm_opp_add_dynamic() and
dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact():
CPU0 (add) CPU1 (lookup)
------------------------------- ------------------------------
_opp_add()
mutex_lock()
list_add(&new_opp-node, head)
mutex_unlock() _opp_table_find_key()
mutex_lock()
dev_pm_opp_get(opp)
kref_get()
mutex_unlock()
kref_init(&new_opp->kref)
dev_pm_opp_put()
kref_put_mutex()
The newly added OPP is inserted into the list before its kref is
initialized. A concurrent lookup can find this OPP and increment its
reference count while it is still uninitialized, leading to refcount
corruption and a potential premature free.
Fix this by initializing ->kref and ->opp_table before making the OPP
visible via list_add(). This ensures any concurrent lookup observes a
fully initialized object.

crypto: atmel-sha204a - fix blocking and non-blocking rng logic
The blocking and non-blocking paths were failing to provide valid entropy
due to improper buffer management. Reading the buffer starting from byte 1,
only fetch the 32 bytes of random data from the return message.
Tested on an Atmel SHA204A device.
Before (here for blocking), tests showed repeatedly reading reduced bytes.
$ head -c 32 /dev/hwrng | hexdump -C

CVE-2026-74399
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
evm: terminate and bound the evm_xattrs read buffer
evm_read_xattrs() allocates size + 1 bytes, fills them from the list of
enabled xattrs, and then passes strlen(temp) to
simple_read_from_buffer(). When no configured xattrs are enabled, the
fill loop stores nothing and temp[0] remains uninitialized, so strlen()
reads beyond initialized memory.
Explicitly terminate the buffer after allocation, use snprintf() for
each formatted line, and pass the accumulated length, without risk of
truncation, to simple_read_from_buffer().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix UMR XLT cleanup on ODP populate failure
mlx5r_umr_update_xlt() allocates and DMA maps an XLT buffer with
mlx5r_umr_create_xlt(). The buffer is released by the common cleanup path
through mlx5r_umr_unmap_free_xlt().
After mlx5_odp_populate_xlt() became fallible, its error path returned
directly and skipped that cleanup. This leaks the XLT DMA mapping and
buffer. If the emergency XLT page was used, it also leaves
xlt_emergency_page_mutex locked.
Break out of the loop so execution falls through the existing cleanup path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/irdma: Fix out-of-bounds write in irdma_copy_user_pgaddrs
The irdma_copy_user_pgaddrs function loops through all of the umem DMA
blocks to populate the PBLEs and will stop when either the last DMA
block is reached or palloc-total_cnt is reached. The issue is that
the logic for checking palloc->total_cnt would only work for non-zero
values.
When irdma_setup_pbles is called with lvl==0, it
calls irdma_copy_user_pgaddrs with palloc->total_cnt==0, which means
the only way to break out of the loop is to reach the last umem DMA
block, which means it could end up going beyond the fixed size of 4
iwmr->pgaddrmem array that is used in the lvl==0 case.
In the case of QP/CQ/SRQ rings, the value of lvl is determined by a
separate input (for example, req.cq_pages in the case of a CQ). So,
we must perform explicit checking to ensure we don't overflow the
pgaddrmem array if the user provides a umem that consists of more
blocks than their provided req.cq_pages.
