CVE-2026-74514

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: s390: pci: Fix memory accounting for pinned/unpinned pages
The account_mem() and unaccount_mem() functions call get_uid() which
increments the reference count of struct user_struct on every invocation.
But we don't decrement the count by calling free_uid(). It also
accounted/unaccounted the pages against the current-mm. But its possible
the unaccount_mem() can be called from a different process context than the
one that originally pinned the pages.
Let's fix this by storing the pinning process user_struct and mm_struct
when accounting for pinned pages, and subsequently free these resources
when the pages are unpinned.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
audit: fix potential use-after-free in audit_del_rule()
`audit_del_rule()` destroys `e-rule.exe` via `audit_remove_mark_rule()`
before unlinking the rule from RCU-visible filter lists and waiting for a
grace period. Concurrent readers in `audit_filter()` and
`audit_filter_rules()` still dereference `e->rule.exe`, while the fsnotify
mark can be freed on an independent lifetime path. This creates a
use-after-free window during rule deletion.
Fix this by unlinking the rule from the RCU-visible lists and invoking
`synchronize_rcu()` before calling `audit_remove_mark_rule()` (and other
rule removal helpers). This ensures that all existing RCU readers have
exited the critical section before any underlying resources are destroyed.

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: mgmt: fix UAF in pair command cancellation
The pairing completion and authentication failure callbacks look up the
pending MGMT_OP_PAIR_DEVICE command by walking hdev-mgmt_pending. The
lookup returned a command that was still linked on the shared pending list,
without keeping mgmt_pending_lock held for the later dereference and
removal.
A concurrent MGMT_OP_CANCEL_PAIR_DEVICE request can remove and free the
same pending command before the callback uses it. The reverse race is also
possible when cancel_pair_device() gets a command from pending_find() and a
callback removes it before the cancel path dereferences it. This can lead
to a use-after-free and a second list_del().
Make the pairing lookup helpers transfer ownership of the pending command
by removing it from hdev->mgmt_pending while holding mgmt_pending_lock.
The callbacks and cancel path then complete the command and free it
directly, so racing paths cannot find or free the same command again. Take
a temporary hci_conn reference in cancel_pair_device() because the command
completion drops the reference stored in the pending command.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: HIDP: reject frames without a transaction header
hidp_recv_ctrl_frame() and hidp_recv_intr_frame() read skb-data[0]
before checking that the L2CAP SDU contains a transaction header. A
connected HIDP peer can send an empty basic-mode SDU and make both paths
use an uninitialized byte from skb tailroom.
KMSAN reports the use in hidp_session_run(), with the uninitialized value
originating in __alloc_skb() through vhci_write(). The control path
produces two reports and the interrupt path produces one.
The byte can also be controlled by a malformed lower-layer packet. If an
HCI ACL packet contains an L2CAP PDU with a declared zero-length payload
followed by an extra 0x15 byte, l2cap_recv_acldata() reduces skb->len to
the declared PDU length before dispatch. The current HIDP path nevertheless
consumes the extra byte as HIDP_TRANS_HID_CONTROL |
HIDP_CTRL_VIRTUAL_CABLE_UNPLUG and terminates the HIDP session. With this
change, the same packet is discarded and a subsequent feature report
request succeeds.
Pull the transaction header with skb_pull_data() and discard frames that
do not contain it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: Fix UAF when sending a message
In afs_make_call(), there's a race with async call reception and
destruction. If a call is dispatched that doesn't have call-write_iter
set (used to specify the data content for FS.StoreData), then the first
rxrpc_kernel_send_data() will not set MSG_MORE in the msghdr.
Once rxrpc_send_data() queues the last request packet, the response could
come in at any time and cause the call to be completed and put. However,
afs_make_call() will look at the call again to see it ->write_iter should
be handled - something it's only allowed to do if it has its own ref on the
call. Whilst this is the case for synchronous calls, it isn't true for
async calls such as FS.FetchData.
There's also a potential UAF in afs_make_call() in the event that an
asynchronous call is being sent, but the call fails in some way (e.g. it
gets aborted from the server). The problem there is that afs_make_call()
tries to abort a call if the rxrpc send fails, but the asynchronous
notification from rxrpc may have caused the afs_call to be torn down.
generic/650 plays games with randomly taking CPUs offline, and can
interject a significant delay such that the call is deallocated before
afs_make_call() gets to check call->write_iter - and a UAF ensues (caught
by KASAN).
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in afs_make_call+0x1c90/0x2210 [kafs]
Read of size 8 at addr ffff888035e050e8 by task fsstress/1409
Fix this by making afs_make_op_call() give the op->call its own ref rather
than transferring the caller's ref to it and then dropping the ref when
afs_make_call() returns.
This also means that the afs_make_call() func never loses its ref on the
call now.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igbvf: Fix leak in TX DMA error cleanup
If an error is encountered while mapping TX buffers, the driver should
unmap any buffers already mapped for that skb.
Because count is incremented before each frag mapping, it will always
match the correct number of unmappings needed when dma_error is reached.
Decrementing count before the while loop in dma_error causes an
off-by-one error. If any mapping was successful before an unsuccessful
mapping, exactly one DMA mapping (the head) would leak.
This bug was introduced by a 2010 fix for an endless loop in dma_error.
All other affected drivers have already been fixed.

CVE-2026-74492
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ipset: do not update comments from kernel-side hash adds
mtype_resize() copies comment pointers with memcpy(), not the comment
objects themselves. During the window after an entry has been copied but
before the table swap and backlog replay, the old table is still
published for packet-side updates while the replacement-table entry
already holds the same ip_set_comment_rcu pointer.
If xt_SET --add-set ... --exist hits that old entry in this window,
mtype_add() calls ip_set_init_comment() even though packet-side adds
carry no comment payload. That call frees the shared comment through the
old entry, so the replacement-table entry now holds a stale pointer.
When the queued add is replayed on the new table, mtype_add() calls
ip_set_init_comment() again and strlen() dereferences the stale pointer.
Fix this in mtype_add() by skipping ip_set_init_comment() when
ext-target marks a packet-side add. Userspace adds still update
comments, while packet-side adds can no longer free comment storage
shared with a resize copy.

CVE-2026-74483

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binfmt_misc: don't leak the user namespace when the mount fails
bm_get_tree() takes a reference to the user namespace and hands it to
get_tree_keyed() as the sget key. sget_fc() moves that reference into
sb-s_fs_info and clears fc->s_fs_info, so from that point on the
superblock owns it and bm_free() doesn't see it anymore.
The superblock drops it in ->put_super(). But generic_shutdown_super()
only calls ->put_super() from inside the if (sb->s_root) branch, so
nothing releases it when bm_fill_super() fails:
- The kzalloc_obj() failure leaves s_root NULL and the whole branch is
skipped.
- A simple_fill_super() failure in the file loop leaves s_root set, but
s_op still points at simple_super_operations, which has no
->put_super(). bm_fill_super() installs s_ops only once
simple_fill_super() returned success, and installing it earlier
wouldn't help either because simple_fill_super() overwrites s_op.
Either way vfs_get_super() calls deactivate_locked_super() and the
reference is gone for good. binfmt_misc mounts are available in a user
namespace and both the inode and the dentry cache are SLAB_ACCOUNT, so
an unprivileged caller under a tight memory cgroup can fail
simple_fill_super() on demand and leak one user namespace per attempt.
Drop the reference in ->kill_sb() instead, which runs unconditionally,
the same way nfsd and rpc_pipefs release their keyed s_fs_info.
That also stops ->put_super() from clearing s_fs_info while the
superblock is still on @fs_supers. generic_shutdown_super() leaves it
there on purpose so that sget_fc() keeps finding it until kill_sb() has
run, but a NULL s_fs_info makes test_keyed_super() miss it, so a
concurrent mount for the same user namespace skips the grab_super()
wait and creates a second superblock for a namespace that is still
being torn down.

CVE-2026-74480
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bridge: stop fast-leave after deleting a port group
br_multicast_leave_group() iterates mp-ports with pp = &p->next in
its fast-leave path. After br_multicast_del_pg() removes p,
continuing the loop advances pp through the deleted entry.
If multicast-to-unicast was enabled, the bridge can hold multiple port
groups for the same port and group with different source MAC
addresses. Once multicast-to-unicast is disabled,
br_port_group_equal() matches those entries by port only. A fast leave
can then delete one entry and continue from its stale next pointer,
leaving mp->ports pointing at a deleted port group.
Fast leave only needs to remove one matching port group. Break after
br_multicast_del_pg() so the loop stops before dereferencing the
removed entry.

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ublk: reset kernel-owned dev_info fields in ublk_ctrl_add_dev()
ublk_ctrl_add_dev() memcpy()s the userspace ublksrv_ctrl_dev_info into
ub-dev_info and then fixes up the fields the driver owns, but misses
->state and ->ublksrv_pid.
A device added with ->state = UBLK_S_DEV_LIVE passes the
"->state != UBLK_S_DEV_DEAD" test that ublk_stop_dev_unlocked() uses as its
proxy for "a disk is attached", while ->ub_disk is still NULL, so DEL_DEV
right after ADD_DEV oopses in del_gendisk(). UBLK_S_DEV_QUIESCED plus
UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY dies one step earlier, in ublk_force_abort_dev(). A
poisoned ->state also gets START_USER_RECOVERY and the char device
read/write path onto a device that was never started, and wedges START_DEV
at -EEXIST. A poisoned ->ublksrv_pid just makes GET_DEV_INFO report an
unrelated task as the ublk server.
Reset both after the memcpy(), as ublk_detach_disk() does. Userspace only
ever reads these back, so correcting them silently breaks nothing.
ADD_DEV has copied ->state in unsanitized since ublk was merged, but back
then it was harmless: the gendisk was allocated during ADD_DEV, and both
teardown and the START_DEV -EEXIST check keyed off disk_live() rather than
->state. The oops became reachable once the disk allocation moved to
START_DEV and those checks switched to ->state.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: scsi_debug: Fix REPORT ZONES alloc_len underflow OOB write
resp_report_zones() sizes the reply buffer from the CDB allocation
length. The v3 fix rounds alloc_len up with ALIGN() before deriving the
descriptor count:
rep_max_zones = (ALIGN((u64)alloc_len, RZONES_DESC_HD) -
RZONES_DESC_HD) > ilog2(RZONES_DESC_HD);
arr_len = (u64)RZONES_DESC_HD * (rep_max_zones + 1);
For alloc_len in 0xFFFFFFC1..0xFFFFFFFF, ALIGN() rounds up to
0x100000000, so arr_len is 4 GB. On 32-bit, kzalloc()'s size_t is 32-bit
and truncates 0x100000000 to 0; kzalloc(0) returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which
passes the !arr check, and desc = arr + 64 is then dereferenced in the
loop -> out-of-bounds write / panic.
Clamp rep_max_zones to devip->nr_zones. The loop already stops at
sdebug_capacity (after nr_zones zones), so a report can never hold more
than nr_zones descriptors; the clamp does not change the report, it only
bounds arr_len to (nr_zones + 1) * RZONES_DESC_HD, a real device
property that can never reach 0x100000000.

CVE-2026-74468
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: pch: use raw_spinlock_t for the register lock
pch_irq_type() is registered as the irq_chip .irq_set_type callback and
takes chip-spinlock with spin_lock_irqsave(). This callback is reached
from __setup_irq() -> __irq_set_trigger() -> chip->irq_set_type() while
the caller holds desc->lock, a raw_spinlock_t, with hardirqs disabled.
That context is not sleepable, but on PREEMPT_RT a regular spinlock_t is
an rtmutex-backed sleeping lock, so acquiring it there is invalid.
This was confirmed on a PREEMPT_RT kernel with lockdep
(PROVE_RAW_LOCK_NESTING and DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP). A grounded PoC mirrored
pch_irq_type()'s locking and drove it through the real genirq carrier
irq_set_irq_type() -> __irq_set_trigger() -> chip->irq_set_type(), i.e.
the same __irq_set_trigger() edge that __setup_irq() takes for a
requested IRQ. With the original spin_lock_irqsave() edge lockdep
reported an invalid wait context, immediately followed by:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, non_block: 0, pid: 95, name: insmod
hardirqs last disabled at (3784): _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x4f/0x60

repro_irq_set_type+0x64/0xa0 [pch_repro]
__irq_set_trigger+0x69/0x140
irq_set_irq_type+0x78/0xd0
Switching the mirrored lock to raw_spinlock_t made both splats go away.
Convert the register lock to raw_spinlock_t. The same lock also
serializes the GPIO direction/value callbacks and the suspend/resume
register save/restore, but all of those critical sections only perform
MMIO register accesses (ioread32()/iowrite32()) and
irq_set_handler_locked(); none of them contain sleepable operations.
Keeping this register lock non-sleeping is therefore appropriate for the
irqchip callbacks and does not change the GPIO-side locking contract.
This is the same class of issue and fix as recently addressed for other
GPIO controllers, e.g. commit 286533cb14a3 ("gpio: sch: use raw_spinlock_t
in the irq startup path") and commit 90f0109019e6 ("gpio: eic-sprd: use
raw_spinlock_t in the irq startup path").

s390/zcrypt: Close speculative mem read possibility
The domain value is extracted from a given CCA or EP11 ioctl struct

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: imx: Cancel hrtimer before clearing slave pointer
In i2c_imx_unreg_slave(), the slave pointer is set to NULL after
disabling interrupts. However, a pending interrupt might already
have started the hrtimer (i2c_imx_slave_timeout) before the pointer
was cleared. If the hrtimer fires after i2c_imx-slave is set to
NULL, the timer callback i2c_imx_slave_finish_op() will call
i2c_imx_slave_event() with a NULL slave pointer, which results in a
use-after-free / NULL pointer dereference.
Fix by canceling the hrtimer and waiting for it to complete after
disabling interrupts, before clearing the slave pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: peak_usb: peak_usb_start(): fix double free of transfer buffer on URB submit error
In peak_usb_start(), each RX URB transfer buffer is allocated with kmalloc()
and the URB is flagged URB_FREE_BUFFER so that the final usb_free_urb() also
frees the transfer buffer.
If usb_submit_urb() fails, the error path frees the buffer explicitly with
kfree(buf) and then calls usb_free_urb(urb). Because URB_FREE_BUFFER is set,
usb_free_urb() - urb_destroy() frees the same buffer a second time, a double
free of the transfer buffer.

CVE-2026-74454
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: Supply the overflow slot size in BPOS, not the whole bin BO size
vc4_overflow_mem_work() points BPOA at a 512KB slot inside the 16MB
binner BO, but writes the size of the whole BO to BPOS. On every binner
out-of-memory event the PTB is therefore authorized to write tile lists
across all the other slots (which may hold the tile state, tile alloc and
overflow memory of in-flight jobs) and, for any slot but the first, past
the end of the binner BO into unrelated CMA memory.
Since CMA pages are recycled into page cache and user allocations, this
is arbitrary memory corruption by GPU DMA. In practice it shows up as GPU
hangs with corrupted control list pointers, userspace heap corruption, a
GPU that stays permanently wedged after the first hang, and occasional
full system crashes, whenever a job overflows the initial binner slot.
The bug dates back to the conversion from a dedicated overflow BO (where
writing the full BO size was correct) to the slotted binner BO.

CVE-2026-74453
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: Zero the tile state data array before each BIN job
The binner BO is a single 16MB buffer split into 512KB slots that are
handed out to jobs at submission time and recycled as jobs complete,
without ever being cleared. Each slot holds the job's Tile State Data
Array (TSDA) at its start, followed by the tile allocation pool.
While the tile allocation pool is only walked by the render thread
through branches the binner generated during the current job, the
TSDA is the PTB's own per-tile bookkeeping and is consumed by the
hardware itself. Although the kernel sets the "Auto-initialise Tile
State Data Array" flag in the tile binning mode configuration, the
PTB demonstrably still acts on stale tile state left by the slot's
previous user: the binner ends up creating invalid command streams
with invalid primitive streams and branches, which can cause GPU hangs
as observed in [1][2].
Zero the TSDA when the job's binning slot is configured. This clears
48 bytes per tile (~24KB for a 1080p frame) in the submission path, and
guarantees the PTB never sees another job's tile state.
The tile count is only checked for being non-zero today, so the 8-bit
fields it comes from can describe a tile state array almost six times
larger than the slot it has to live in. Bound it before the slot is
handed out, since such size decides how much of the slot is left for
the tile alloc pool.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: avoid destroy_workqueue(NULL) on vkms init failure
Two paths through vmw_vkms_init() can leave vmw-crc_workq NULL while
still leaving the rest of the driver in a state that calls
vmw_vkms_cleanup() at module unload:
1. vmw_host_get_guestinfo(GUESTINFO_VBLANK, ...) failing or
returning an oversized buffer -- the common case on hosts
without a VBLANK guestinfo entry -- early-returned before the
workqueue allocation.
2. alloc_ordered_workqueue() returning NULL on memory pressure.
vmw_vkms_cleanup() then calls destroy_workqueue(NULL), which
dereferences wq->name and panics.
Fix the first case by removing the early return: vmw->vkms_enabled
is already false on the rpci-failure path so no work will ever be
queued, and allocating the workqueue unconditionally keeps the
control flow simple. Fix the second case by guarding the cleanup
with a NULL check, since alloc_ordered_workqueue() can still fail
under low memory.

uvc_ctrl_status_event()

uvc_pm_put()
uvc_status_put()

This will cause a deadlock, since cancel_work_sync will wait for
uvc_ctrl_status_event_work to complete before returning.
Fix this by returning early from uvc_status_stop if we are currently in
the work function. flush_status now remains false until uvc_status_start
is called again, ensuring that uvc_ctrl_status_event_work won't resubmit
the URB.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: serialize kernel accept preallocation with socket teardown
rxrpc_kernel_charge_accept() reads rx-backlog without any
socket/backlog synchronization and passes that raw pointer into
rxrpc_service_prealloc_one(). A concurrent rxrpc_discard_prealloc()

preallocation worker can keep using a freed struct rxrpc_backlog
while updating *_backlog_head/tail and array slots.
Serialize the state check and backlog lookup with the socket lock,
and reject kernel preallocation once teardown has disabled
listening or discarded the service backlog.
