CVE-2026-74430
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Fix ACKALL packet handling
rxrpc_input_ackall() accepts ACKALL packets without checking whether the
call is in a state that can legitimately have outstanding transmit buffers.
A forged ACKALL can therefore reach a new service call in
RXRPC_CALL_SERVER_RECV_REQUEST before any reply packets have been queued.
In that state call-tx_top is zero and call->tx_queue is NULL, so
rxrpc_rotate_tx_window() dereferences a NULL txqueue and triggers a
null-pointer dereference.
Fix the handling of ACKALL packets by the following means:
(1) Add two new call states: RXRPC_CALL_CLIENT_PRE_SEND which indicates
that the client call is connected, but nothing has been transmitted as
yet; and RXRPC_CALL_CLIENT_AWAIT_ACK, which indicates that everything
has been transmitted at least once, but we're now waiting for the
stuff remaining in the Tx buffer to be ACK'd (retransmissions may
still happen).
The RXRPC_CALL_CLIENT_PRE_SEND state is set when the call is assigned
a channel and transitions to RXRPC_CALL_CLIENT_SEND_REQUEST when the
first packet is transmitted.
RXRPC_CALL_CLIENT_AWAIT_REPLY is then narrowed in scope to indicate
that all Tx packets have been ACK'd and we're now waiting for the
reply to be received.
(2) As per Wyatt Feng's original patch[1], the ACKALL handler then checks
that the call state is one in which there might be stuff in the Tx
buffer to ACK, but now this includes AWAIT_ACK rather than
AWAIT_REPLY. ACKALL packets are ignored if received in the wrong
state.
Note that unlike Wyatt Feng's patch, it's no longer necessary to check
to see if the Tx buffer exists as this the state set now covers this.
(3) Make the ACKALL handler use call->tx_transmitted rather than
call->tx_top as the former is explicitly the highest packet seq number
transmitted, whereas the latter has a looser definition.
Thanks to Jeffrey Altman for a description of the history of the ACKALL
packet[1].

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: Fix netns teardown to cancel the preallocation charger
Fix the teardown of an afs network namespace to make sure it cancels the
work item that keeps the preallocated rxrpc call/conn/peer queue charged
before incoming calls are disabled (i.e. listen 0).
Also, if net-live is false because the afs netns is being deleted, make
afs_charge_preallocation() skip charging and make afs_rx_new_call() avoid
requeuing the charger.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbcon: fix NULL pointer dereference for a console without vc_data
fbcon_new_modelist() runs when a framebuffer's modelist changes. For each
console mapped to it with fb_display[i].mode set, it reads vc_cons[i].d and
passes the vc_num to fbcon_set_disp(). This assumes a console with a mode
set has a vc_data, but it can be NULL. fbcon_set_disp() sets
fb_display[i].mode before it checks vc_data, and fbcon_deinit() leaves the
mode set after the vc_data is freed. fbcon_new_modelist() then dereferences
the NULL vc_data.
Keep fb_display[i].mode set only while the console has a vc_data. Check
vc_data before setting the mode in fbcon_set_disp(), and clear the mode in
fbcon_deinit(). The existing mode check in fbcon_new_modelist() then skips
such consoles.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/rockchip: dw_dp: 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.

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: idxd: fix fdev setup failure cleanup in idxd_cdev_open()
The failed_dev_add and failed_dev_name paths drop the file-device
reference while wq-wq_lock is still held. If put_device(fdev) drops the
last reference, idxd_file_dev_release() runs synchronously and tries to
take wq->wq_lock again, deadlocking.
Those paths also fall through into the later ctx cleanup labels even
though idxd_file_dev_release() owns that cleanup and frees ctx. This can
make idxd_xa_pasid_remove(ctx) and kfree(ctx) operate on a freed context.
Move idxd_wq_get() before file-device setup can fail, since the release
callback always calls idxd_wq_put(). Then unlock wq->wq_lock before
put_device(fdev) and return directly from the file-device setup failure
path, leaving ctx cleanup to the release callback.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/arm-smmu-v3-iommufd: Require exactly one Stream ID for a vDEVICE
arm_vsmmu_vsid_to_sid() maps a guest's vSID to a single physical Stream ID
taken from master-streams[0], assuming a device has exactly one stream. A
device with several streams gets only its first one mapped, so a guest vSID
invalidation cannot reach the others' ATC and IOTLB entries; a device with
none makes master->streams a ZERO_SIZE_PTR, read out of bounds.
Add an arm_vsmmu_vdevice_init() op to reject the vDEVICE with -EOPNOTSUPP
when master->num_streams is not one, rather than mapping it silently.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: skip global block reserve accounting for rescue mounts
[BUG]
Mounting with rescue=ibadroots after corrupting the block group tree
root triggers a NULL pointer dereference:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000100
RIP: 0010:btrfs_update_global_block_rsv+0x9d/0x1c0 [btrfs]
Call Trace:
fill_dummy_bgs+0xd4/0x120 [btrfs]
open_ctree+0xc6e/0x1ca0 [btrfs]
btrfs_get_tree+0x50d/0xa40 [btrfs]
The same crash occurs with a corrupted raid stripe tree root, via
btrfs_read_block_groups() instead of fill_dummy_bgs().
[CAUSE]
With rescue=ibadroots, btrfs_read_roots() allows the mount to continue
when either root cannot be read, leaving the corresponding root pointer
NULL while its on-disk feature bit remains set.
btrfs_update_global_block_rsv() then dereferences the missing root based
on the feature bit alone.
[FIX]
Rescue mounts are fully read-only and cannot start transactions, so the
global reserve is never consumed. Under btrfs_is_full_ro(), mark the
reserve as full and return before performing the accounting.
And since we need to check if the fs is mount fully RO, export
fs_is_full_ro() as btrfs_is_full_ro(), and move it to fs.h.
[ Squash the fs_is_full_ro() export commit into this one. ]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: fix buffer leak in xsk_drop_skb() for AF_XDP multi-buffer Tx
This patch is inspired by the check[1] from sashiko. It says when
overflow happens, the address of cq to be published is invalid.
Actually the severer thing is the whole process of publishing the
address of cq in this particular case is not right: it should truely
publish the address and advance the cached_prod in cq as long as it
reads descriptors from txq.
The following is the full analysis.
xsk_drop_skb() is called in three places, which all discard a partially
built multi-buffer skb:
1) xsk_build_skb() -EOVERFLOW error path: packet exceeds MAX_SKB_FRAGS
2) __xsk_generic_xmit() post-loop cleanup: an invalid descriptor in
the TX ring prevents the partial packet from completing
3) xsk_release(): socket close while xs-skb holds an incomplete packet
In all three cases, the TX descriptors for the already-processed frags
have been consumed from the TX ring (xskq_cons_release), and CQ slots
have been reserved. However, xsk_drop_skb() calls xsk_consume_skb()
which cancels the CQ reservations via xsk_cq_cancel_locked(). Since
the buffer addresses never appear in the completion queue, userspace
permanently loses track of these buffers.
Fix this by letting consume_skb() trigger the existing xsk_destruct_skb
destructor, which already submits buffer addresses to the CQ via
xsk_cq_submit_addr_locked().
Note that cancelling the descriptors back to the TX ring (via
xskq_cons_cancel_n) is not a appropriate option because an oversized
packet that always exceeds MAX_SKB_FRAGS would be retried indefinitely,
which is an obviously deadlock bug in the TX path.
Also move the desc->addr assignment in xsk_build_skb() above the
overflow check so that the current descriptor's address is recorded
before a potential -EOVERFLOW jump to free_err, consistent with the
zerocopy path in xsk_build_skb_zerocopy().

CVE-2026-74556
•
published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: libiscsi_tcp: Bound SCSI Response data segment to the connection buffer
iscsi_tcp_hdr_dissect() receives the data segment of several PDU types
into the fixed-size conn-data buffer, which is allocated for
ISCSI_DEF_MAX_RECV_SEG_LEN (8192) bytes. For the LOGIN_RSP, TEXT_RSP,
REJECT and ASYNC_EVENT opcodes the dissect path already rejects a PDU
whose DataSegmentLength exceeds that buffer.
The SCSI Command Response (ISCSI_OP_SCSI_CMD_RSP) path also copies its
data segment (sense/response data) into conn->data via
iscsi_tcp_data_recv_prep(), but it does so without the same check. The
only upstream bound on in.datalen is conn->max_recv_dlength, the
initiator's advertised MaxRecvDataSegmentLength, which is commonly
negotiated well above 8192 (open-iscsi defaults to 262144). A target
that returns a SCSI Response with a DataSegmentLength between 8193 and
max_recv_dlength therefore overflows the 8192-byte conn->data buffer.
Once the same bound applies, ISCSI_OP_SCSI_CMD_RSP is handled exactly
like those responses: bound the data segment, receive it into conn->data
when present, and otherwise complete the PDU with no data. Fold the
opcode into that case group rather than duplicating the check.

CVE-2026-74547

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (adt7470) Fix busy-loop and I2C flooding in update thread
When userspace configures 'auto_update_interval' to 0 via sysfs, the
background kthread executes schedule_timeout_interruptible(0), which
returns immediately.
If 'num_temp_sensors' is concurrently or previously set to 0, the
msleep_interruptible() delay inside adt7470_read_temperatures() also
becomes 0. This combination forces the background thread into a tight,
unbounded busy-loop, hogging the CPU and flooding the I2C bus with a
continuous stream of transactions.
Fix this vulnerability by raising the lower limit of the clamp_val in
auto_update_interval_store() from 0 to 500 milliseconds. This guarantees
a reasonable minimum sleep window between sensor updates, protecting the
system from intentional or accidental I2C bus denial of service.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: cls_u32: validate offshift to prevent shift-out-of-bounds
u32_change() copies the user-provided tc_u32_sel.offshift (unsigned char,
0-255) into the kernel knode object without bounds validation. When a
packet later hits u32_classify() with TC_U32_VAROFFSET set, it evaluates
`ntohs(offmask & *data) > offshift` where the left operand is a 16-bit
value promoted to a 32-bit int. Any offshift >= 32 is undefined behavior
per C11 6.5.7p3, triggerable by an unprivileged user via user/network
namespaces.
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in net/sched/cls_u32.c:236:43
shift exponent 32 is too large for 32-bit type int
Fix this by rejecting offshift >= 16 during filter creation in

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: fix UAF in l2cap_le_connect_rsp
l2cap_le_connect_rsp() obtains a channel via
__l2cap_get_chan_by_ident() but neither holds a reference nor uses
l2cap_chan_hold_unless_zero() before locking and operating on it.
A concurrent l2cap_chan_del() triggered by a remote disconnect can
free the channel between the lookup and l2cap_chan_lock(), causing
a use-after-free.
The BR/EDR counterpart l2cap_connect_rsp() and the sibling handler
l2cap_le_command_rej() already use l2cap_chan_hold_unless_zero()
to safely hold a reference, but l2cap_le_connect_rsp() was left
unprotected.
Fix by adding l2cap_chan_hold_unless_zero() after the ident lookup
and l2cap_chan_put() on the exit path, consistent with other L2CAP
response handlers.

published on August 15, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: devicetree: don't free uninitialized dev_name on error path
dt_remember_or_free_map() duplicates dev_name for each map entry. If
kstrdup_const() fails, dt_free_map() frees dev_name in all num_maps
entries, including entries that have not been initialized.
Some pinctrl drivers, including pinctrl-imx, allocate the map with
kmalloc() and leave dev_name for the core to initialize. The untouched
entries therefore contain uninitialized data which is passed to
kfree_const().
Reproduced on qemu's mcimx6ul-evk (pinctrl-imx) with failslab injection
while binding the pinctrl-consuming device, under KASAN:
BUG: KASAN: double-free in dt_free_map+0x34/0xa4

Initialize all dev_name fields to NULL before duplicating the device
name, making the full-map cleanup safe after a partial failure.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Update x2APIC MSR intercepts if AVIC is inhibited while L2 is active
Always update x2APIC MSR intercepts for L1 when AVIC is deactivated, even
if L2 is active and KVM is using a separate MSR bitmap to run L2. If AVIC
is fully enabled prior to running L2, and is then inhibited while L2 is
active (for a VM-scoped inhibit), then KVM will run L1 with AVIC disabled,
but with x2APIC MSR intercepts disabled, i.e. will allow L1 to read most of
the host's APIC state, send arbitrary interrupts, change task priority, and
ultimately trivially DoS the host.
E.g. sending a self-IPI in L1 on HYPERV_REENLIGHTENMENT_VECTOR, 0xee, with
CONFIG_HYPERV=n in the host kernel as a "safe" PoC, yields:
Spurious interrupt (vector 0xee) on CPU#425. Acked
And hacking KVM to abuse kvm_set_posted_intr_wakeup_handler() to register a
