CVE-2026-74377
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rxe: Copy WQE to local buffer in non-SRQ receive path
For non-SRQ QPs, the responder reads WQE fields directly from the
shared queue buffer mapped into userspace. This allows a malicious
user to modify fields like num_sge or sge entries while the kernel
is processing the WQE, leading to out-of-bounds reads in
rxe_resp_check_length() and copy_data().
Introduce get_recv_wqe() that validates num_sge and copies the WQE
to a kernel-local buffer before processing, matching the approach
already used for SRQ WQEs in get_srq_wqe(). The srq_wqe buffer is
reused since SRQ and non-SRQ paths are mutually exclusive per QP.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid1,raid10: fix error-path detection with md_cloned_bio()
Detect the error path using md_cloned_bio() instead of relying
on r1_bio in raid1 or r10_bio-read_slot in raid10, which may be
NULL or -1 after splitting and resubmitting a failed bio.
As a result, the error path may not be recognized and memory
allocations can incorrectly use GFP_NOIO instead of
(GFP_NOIO | __GFP_HIGH), which can lead to a deadlock under
memory pressure.

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
configfs_lookup(): don't leave -s_dentry dangling on failure
Normally ->s_dentry is cleared when dentry it's pointing to becomes
negative (on eviction, realistically). However, that only happens
if dentry gets to be positive in the first place; in case of inode
allocation failure dentry never becomes positive, so ->d_iput()
is not called at all.
We do part of what normally would've been done by configfs_d_iput()
(dropping the reference to configfs_dirent) manually, but we do
not clear ->s_dentry there. Sloppy as it is, it does not matter in
case of configfs_create_{dir,link}() - there configfs_dirent does
not survive dropping the sole reference to it.
However, for configfs_lookup() it *does* survive, with a dangling
pointer to soon to be freed dentry sitting it its ->s_dentry.
Subsequent getdents(2) in that directory will end up dereferencing
that pointer in order to pick the inode number. Use after free...
This is the minimal fix; the right approach is to set the linkage
between dentry and configfs_dirent only after we know that we have
an inode, but that takes more surgery and the bug had been there
since 2006, so...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix fast commit wait/wake bit mapping on 64-bit
On 64-bit, ext4 dynamic inode states live in the upper half of i_flags,
and ext4_test_inode_state() applies the corresponding +32 offset.
The fast-commit wait and wake paths open-coded the wait key with the raw
EXT4_STATE_* value. Add small helpers for the state wait word and bit,
and use them for the FC_COMMITTING and FC_FLUSHING_DATA waits so the wait
key follows the same mapping as the state helpers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: fix KASAN slab-out-of-bounds in amdgpu_coredump ring dump
The ring content dump in amdgpu_coredump() uses two separate loops over
adev-rings[]: the first counts rings with unsignalled fences to size
the allocation, and the second copies ring data into the allocated
buffers.
Both loops use the same condition to skip rings:
atomic_read(&ring->fence_drv.last_seq) == ring->fence_drv.sync_seq
Because last_seq is an atomic that is updated concurrently by the fence
signalling path, additional rings may appear unsignalled in the second
loop that were signalled during the first. When this happens, idx
exceeds the allocated ring_count and the store to coredump->rings[idx]
writes past the end of the kcalloc-ed buffer.
This was found during IGT stressful test amd_queue_reset which
triggers random GPU resets. The OVERSIZE subtest
(CMD_STREAM_EXEC_INVALID_PACKET_LENGTH_OVERSIZE on GFX ring) provokes
a ring timeout and subsequent coredump, which hits the race between
the counting and copying loops. The failure is non-deterministic and
depends on fence signalling timing during the reset.

Fix by adding an idx < ring_count guard to the copy loop so it cannot
exceed the allocated count even when the fence state changes between
the two passes.

CVE-2026-74348
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2/dlm: require a ref for locking_state debugfs open
debug_lockres_open() copies inode-i_private into struct debug_lockres and
debug_lockres_release() later drops that pointer with dlm_put(). That
only works if open successfully pins the struct dlm_ctxt.
Today open calls dlm_grab(dlm) but ignores its return value. Once the
last domain unregister has removed the context from dlm_domains,
dlm_grab() returns NULL, yet open still stores the raw pointer and returns
success. The later release path is outside the debugfs removal barrier,
so it can call dlm_put() after dlm_free_ctxt_mem() has freed the context.
KASAN reports this as a slab-use-after-free in dlm_put() called from
debug_lockres_release().
Fail the open when dlm_grab() cannot acquire the reference and unwind the
seq_file private state before returning. That keeps locking_state from
handing out a file descriptor whose release path does not own the
dlm_ctxt.
The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order
within that path:
locking_state debugfs open: last domain unregister:
1. debug_lockres_open() reads 1. dlm_unregister_domain() calls
inode->i_private. dlm_complete_dlm_shutdown().
2. debug_lockres_open() calls 2. shutdown removes the dlm_ctxt from
dlm_grab(dlm) and gets NULL. dlm_domains.
3. open still stores the raw dlm 3. final teardown reaches
pointer in dl->dl_ctxt and dlm_free_ctxt_mem() and frees it.
returns success.
4. debug_lockres_release() later
calls dlm_put(dl->dl_ctxt).

CVE-2026-74344
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Clear rb node linkage when freeing bpf_rb_root
bpf_rb_root_free() detaches the root by copying the current rb_root_cached
and then replacing the live root with RB_ROOT_CACHED. It then walks the
copied root and drops each object contained in the tree.
This leaves the rb node state intact while dropping the object. If the
object is refcounted and survives the drop, its bpf_rb_node_kern still
contains an owner pointer to the freed root and stale rb tree linkage. If
a later bpf_rb_root allocation reuses the same address, bpf_rbtree_remove()
can incorrectly pass the owner check and call rb_erase_cached() on a node
whose rb pointers belong to the old tree.
Mirror the list draining behavior by marking nodes as busy while the root
is being detached, then clear the rb node and release the owner before
dropping the containing object. This makes surviving nodes unowned and
safe to reject from remove or accept for a later add.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kernfs: link kn to its parent before the LSM init hook
After commit 12e9e3cd03b5 ("simpe_xattr: use per-sb cache"),
kernfs_xattr_set() and kernfs_xattr_get() compute the cache via
kernfs_root(kn) before any other check. kernfs_root(kn) walks
kn-__parent first and falls back to kn->dir.root, both of which are
NULL on a freshly kmem_cache_zalloc()'d kn. kn->__parent was being set
in kernfs_new_node() after __kernfs_new_node() returned, and kn->dir.root
is set even later by kernfs_create_dir_ns() / kernfs_create_empty_dir().
The LSM kernfs_init_security hook is invoked from inside
__kernfs_new_node(), before either field has been initialized.
selinux_kernfs_init_security() ends with kernfs_xattr_set(kn,
XATTR_NAME_SELINUX, ...). kernfs_root(kn) then returns NULL, and
&((struct kernfs_root *)NULL)->xa_cache evaluates to
offsetof(struct kernfs_root, xa_cache) which faults:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000000000000e0

The LSM hook's contract is that the kn_dir argument is the parent of
the new kn, so kn->__parent should already point at kn_dir when the
hook runs. Move kernfs_get(parent) and rcu_assign_pointer of
kn->__parent from kernfs_new_node() into __kernfs_new_node() right
before the security hook, and unwind the parent reference on the
err_out4 path. kernfs_root(kn) then takes its parent branch during
the hook and returns parent->dir.root, which is the correct root.
This also closes the same-shape latent bug in kernfs_xattr_get() (which
today is hidden only by kernfs_iattrs_noalloc() returning NULL on a
fresh kn).

CVE-2026-74312
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost/vdpa: validate virtqueue index in mmap and fault paths
vhost_vdpa_mmap() and vhost_vdpa_fault() use vma-vm_pgoff as a
virtqueue index for get_vq_notification(), but they do not validate
that the index is smaller than v->nvqs.
The ioctl path already performs both a bounds check and
array_index_nospec(), but the mmap/fault path only checks that the
index fits in u16. This allows an out-of-range queue index to reach
driver-specific get_vq_notification() callbacks.
Fix this by extracting a unified vhost_vdpa_get_vq_notification()
helper that validates the queue index against v->nvqs and applies
array_index_nospec() before calling the driver callback. Both the
mmap and fault paths use this helper, and the bounds checking is
consolidated into a single location.
From source inspection, the most defensible impact is out-of-bounds
access in the callback path, potentially leading to invalid PFN
remaps and crash/DoS.

CVE-2026-74310
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost/net: complete zerocopy ubufs only once
vhost-net initializes one ubuf_info per outstanding zerocopy TX
descriptor and hands it to the backend socket. The networking stack may
then clone a zerocopy skb before all skb references are released. For
example, batman-adv fragmentation reaches skb_split(), which calls
skb_zerocopy_clone() and increments the same ubuf_info refcount.
vhost_zerocopy_complete() currently treats every ubuf callback as a
completed vhost descriptor. It dereferences ubuf-ctx, writes the
descriptor completion state, and drops the vhost_net_ubuf_ref even when
the callback only releases a cloned skb reference. A backend reset can
therefore wait for and free the vhost_net_ubuf_ref while another cloned
skb still carries the same ubuf_info. A later completion then
dereferences the freed ubufs pointer.
KASAN reports the stale completion as:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in vhost_zerocopy_complete+0x1d7/0x1f0
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in vhost_zerocopy_complete+0x101/0x1f0
vhost_zerocopy_complete
skb_copy_ubufs
__dev_forward_skb2
veth_xmit
The freed object was allocated from vhost_net_ioctl() while setting the
backend and freed through kfree_rcu()/kvfree_rcu_bulk after backend
removal, while delayed skb completion still reached
vhost_zerocopy_complete().
Honor the generic ubuf_info refcount before touching vhost state, and run
the vhost descriptor completion only for the final ubuf reference. This
matches the msg_zerocopy_complete() ownership rule for cloned zerocopy
skbs.

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci: validate codec capability element length
Read Local Codec Capabilities returns a sequence of capability elements.
Each element starts with a one-byte length followed by that many payload
bytes.
hci_read_codec_capabilities() checks that the skb contains the length
byte, but then validates only caps-len against the remaining skb
length. A malformed controller response with one remaining byte and
caps->len set to one passes that check even though the element needs two
bytes. The parser then records a two-byte capability and copies one
byte beyond the advertised response payload into the codec list.
Validate the full element size, including the length byte, before adding
it to the accumulated capability length. This preserves all well-formed
capability elements and drops only truncated controller responses.

CVE-2026-74288
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fib_rules: Don't dump dying fib_rule in fib_rules_dump().
rocker_router_fib_event() calls fib_rule_get() during RCU dump.
If the fib_rule is dying, refcount_inc() will complain about it.
Let's call refcount_inc_not_zero() in fib_rules_dump().

CVE-2026-74287
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: validate embedded address parameter length
sctp_verify_asconf() and sctp_verify_param() only validate ADD_IP, DEL_IP,
and SET_PRIMARY parameters against a fixed minimum size of sizeof(struct
sctp_addip_param) + sizeof(struct sctp_paramhdr). This ensures the outer
parameter is large enough to contain an embedded address parameter header,
but does not verify that the embedded address parameter's declared length
fits within the bounds of the outer parameter.
Later, sctp_process_param() and sctp_process_asconf_param() extract the
embedded address parameter and pass it to af-from_addr_param(), which uses
the address parameter length to parse the variable-length address payload.
A malformed peer can therefore advertise an embedded address parameter
length that exceeds the remaining bytes in the enclosing parameter.
Validate that addr_param->p.length does not exceed the space available
after the sctp_addip_param header before processing the embedded address
parameter. Reject malformed parameters when the embedded address length
extends beyond the enclosing parameter bounds.
This prevents out-of-bounds reads when parsing malformed parameters carried
in INIT or ASCONF processing paths.
