CVE-2026-98726
•
published on October 18, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-multipath: fix underflow in ANA log bounds checks
The number of ANA groups advertised through Identify Controller sizes the
ANA log buffer. The ANA log header and group descriptors independently
supply the number of groups and namespace IDs to parse.
Both bounds checks subtract an untrusted object size from ana_log_size
before comparing the current offset. If the object is larger than the
buffer, the size_t subtraction underflows and lets the parser read beyond
ana_log_buf.
Check the current offset before the first subtraction and compare each
object size with the remaining buffer instead. This rejects inconsistent
ANA data before dereferencing a truncated group descriptor or walking an
oversized namespace ID array.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-auth: fix out-of-bounds write in nvmet_auth_challenge()
nvmet_auth_challenge() receives its output buffer as a void pointer.
sizeof(*d) therefore evaluates to one with GCC and undercounts the fixed
challenge header by 15 bytes. A short AUTH_RECEIVE buffer can pass the
check before the challenge is copied past the end of its allocation.
Use the typed challenge pointer when calculating the response size.

published on October 18, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: pci-epf: reject too-short SGL segments
The host controls an SGL segment's length. A nonzero length smaller than
one SGL descriptor makes nr_descs zero, so
nvmet_pci_epf_get_sgl_segment() reads the type byte of sgls[-1] outside
the allocated buffer. If that byte contains a segment descriptor type,
the function also copies the preceding 16 bytes and returns a negative
descriptor count.
The read was reproduced in 3/3 KASAN boots with only the host transfer
mocked by a KUnit test:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: copy the hostid into the ctrl before creating PR pc_refs
Commit 6202783184bf ("nvmet: Improve nvmet_alloc_ctrl() interface and
implementation") added a second uuid_copy() of args-hostid near the end
of nvmet_alloc_ctrl(), and commit 7b658153f1b8 ("nvmet: Remove duplicate
uuid_copy") removed the original copy that sat before
nvmet_ctrl_init_pr() instead of the new one.
Since then nvmet_ctrl_init_pr() snapshots ctrl->hostid into the
per-controller per-namespace reservation refs while the uuid_copy()
from the connect data runs later, after the controller is published.
The ctrl is allocated with kzalloc(), so every pc_ref created on this
path stores the nil UUID.
pc_ref->hostid has a single consumer: nvmet_pr_set_ctrl_to_abort()
matches it against the preempted registrant's hostid to kill and drain
the victim's in-flight I/O for Preempt and Abort. The match can never
hit with the nil UUID, so whenever a namespace with reservations
enabled exists before a host connects, which includes every reconnect,
Preempt and Abort silently degrades into a plain Preempt: the
preempting host sees success while the victim's in-flight I/O is still
in the air.
Copy the hostid where the rest of the connect data is consumed, before
the controller is published and before nvmet_ctrl_init_pr() takes its
snapshot.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: nVMX: Force MSR bitmap refresh if runtime eVMCS controls are modified
Force a refresh of the vmcs02 MSR bitmap during nested VM-Enter if the
runtime eVMCS controls (pin, primary, secondary, etc.) are being updated.
If L1 isn't intercepting TPR writes, runs L2 with TPR virtualization, and
then runs the same L2 with TPR virtualization disabled, KVM will fail to
refresh msr_bitmap02 and leave TPR in passthrough mode even though TPR
virtualization is disabled. I.e. failure to refresh the bitmap lets L2 (or
L1 by proxy) read and write L0's TPR.

CVE-2026-98719
•
published on October 18, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SEV: Nullify "have run CPUs" mask pointer when freeing it
Nullify have_run_cpus when freeing the mask, particularly in the error path
of __sev_guest_init(), so that KVM doesn't have to subtly use sev-active
to track whether or not the mask has been freed. As pointed out by Sashiko,
blindly freeing the mask in sev_vm_destroy() results in a double-free if
the mask is freed if __sev_guest_init() fails.
Throw the logic in a helper as nullifying the pointer is frustratingly
difficult and weird due to have_run_cpus being a single-entry array when
CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n. Deliberately don't use CPUMASK_VAR_NULL, as it's not
directly assignable when the cpumask is on-stack, e.g. requires using a
local variable and a memcpy(), which is beyond ridiculous. Furthermore,
while clearing the on-stack bitmask is an unnecessary and arguably unwanted
side effect, KVM absolutely relies on '0' being the "null" value given that
the struct is zero-allocated.
Opportunistically add an alloc() helper to pair with free(); there are just
enough call sites to make doing so worthwhile.

published on October 18, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SEV: Do cache maintenance on the source VM *before* clearing SEV state
Explicitly flush caches after intra-host migration before clearing "SEV
active" on the source VM, as doing cache maintenance afterwards creates a
tiny window where memory reclaim could return memory to the host without
performing a cache flush, e.g. as pointed out by Sashiko:
CPU1 in sev_migrate_from():
src-active = false;
CPU2 running concurrent unmap:
Since active is false, the automatic cache flush in
sev_guest_memory_reclaimed is skipped.
The host frees and reallocates the page.
CPU1 in sev_migrate_from():
sev_writeback_caches(src_kvm);
Executes a hardware cache flush (wbnoinvd), which writes the guest's old
dirty ciphertext over the new page owner's data.

Opportunistically harden the shadow walks against fully invalid roots, but

Don't WARN in the dummy root case as the whole point of using a dummy root
is to provide a root that's valid enough to enter the guest, i.e. it should
Just Work for all flows except those that *need* to know about dummy roots.
Alternatively, KVM could allocate a dedicated page and associated shadow
page structure for the dummy root, which is very tempting as it such an
approach should be more resilient against unexpected behavior. But that
would be a much larger and thus riskier change than simply terminating
walks of dummy roots.

CVE-2026-98716
•
published on October 18, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Use the active VMCB's MSR bitmap when checking if MSR is intercepted
Use the MSR permission bitmap of the active VMCB instead of assuming that
KVM is always using vmcb02's bitmap when L2 is active, as KVM uses msrpm02
if and only if L1 wants to intercept MSR accesses, i.e. if and only if KVM
needs to merge msprm01 with msrpm12.
Don't bother tracking the virtual address of the bitmap that's being used,
as __va() is cheap on x86, and caching the virtual address would introduce
yet another source of potentially stale information.

CVE-2026-98715
•
published on October 18, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Preserve TLB control (i.e. pending TLB flush) on failed VMRUN
Don't reset the VMCB's TLB control back to "do nothing" on a failed VMRUN,
as empirical testing shows that the CPU performs the requested TLB flush if
and only if VMRUN is successful, i.e. clearing TLB control on a failed
VMRUN effectively drops a TLB flush.
Explicitly track the need to flush all ASIDs on a per-CPU basis, as the
ASID reuse condition is tied to the pCPU, not to the vCPU. As a bonus,
this also obviates the need to avoid clobbering FLUSH_ALL_ASID with
TLB_CONTROL_FLUSH_ASID, e.g. in svm_flush_tlb_asid().
Deliberately don't bother saving/restoring the "old" tlb_ctl on failure,
in quotes because it's not exactly the old tlb_ctl, it's the tlb_ctl from
after pre_svm_run(), but before updating tlb_ctl for flush_all_asids. If
VMRUN fails and TLB_CONTROL_FLUSH_ALL_ASID is forced, then the next
successful run of the VMCB *may* unnecessarily flush all ASIDs, which
strictly speaking could result in noisy neighbor issues. However, the
fact that new_asid() is already guest-triggerable, because of KVM's flawed
behavior of clearing the ASID on emulated INIT, means that a guest can
already trigger a flush of all ASIDs at roughly the same rate. And once
KVM stops clobbering the ASID on emulated INIT, *or* assigns a static ASID
to each vCPU, this flaw goes away.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Update control fields on #VMEXIT if and only if VMRUN succeeded
Leave control.erap_ctl and control.clean as-is in the VMCS if VMRUN fails,
because as per AMD:
there's no explicit architectural guarantee about the behavior in the
presence of VMRUN failures. So the best thing to do would be to assume
that if VMRUN fails, the actions requested in the control fields may not
have been performed.

CVE-2026-98713
•
published on October 18, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Apply the fine-grained UNDEFs without FEAT_FGT
FGUs don't actually require hardware support, so don't gate fgt trap
config insertion on FGT. This is the only action required to allow FGUs
always, as kvm_calculate_traps() already computes the FGU bits with or
without FEAT_FGT.
This also fixes a spurious WARN when a TLBI OS is run on a guest in vEL1
without FEAT_TLBIOS on non FEAT_FGT hardware. In this configuration the
course-grained HCR_EL2.TTLBOS trap reaches the handler handle_tlbi_el1(),
which expects an EL1 TLBI only from vEL2. With FGUs enabled the UNDEF
will be injected without needing the specific handler.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: vgic: Take a refcount on IRQs referenced by last_lr_irq
Referencing the last interrupt inserted in an LR is rather fragile, as
this interrupt can vanish if a concurrently unmapped LPI.
Solve this by bumping up the refcount on the interrupt when populating
last_lr_irq, and drop it at vgic_prune_ap_list() time, when LPIs are
being reclaimed.

CVE-2026-98711
•
published on October 18, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cw1200: fix TX padding OOB read leaking heap data to device
The TX path rounds the transfer size up to the bus alignment
(align_size(), up to 511 bytes for SDIO, 1 byte for SPI) but sends
the padded length straight from the frame buffer, which has no room
reserved for the padding. cw1200_data_write() therefore reads past
the end of the frame and the bus transfer carries those bytes to the
device. A bogus device can collect up to 511 bytes of kernel heap
data per TX frame.
The RX path does not have this problem: it allocates the skb with
the aligned length (alloc_len) before reading.
Compute the exact padding with the bus align_size() callback, make
sure queued TX frames have tailroom for it, and zero the padding
bytes before the transfer so nothing past the frame is exposed.
This is not expected to change driver behavior on most cases: frame
contents and transfer sizes are unchanged, only the content of the
padding bytes (previously undefined stale memory, now zero), which
the device never reads since the WSM header carries the real frame
length. The skb expansion can only fail under memory exhaustion,
in which case the frame is dropped like on the existing error paths
of cw1200_tx().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlegacy: 3945: free EEPROM data on remove
il3945_pci_probe() calls il_eeprom_init(), which allocates memory for
the EEPROM data. The probe failure paths release this allocation with
il_eeprom_free(), but the remove path does not free it after a
successful probe.
As a result, the EEPROM data is leaked when the PCI device is removed.
Free the EEPROM data in il3945_pci_remove() before releasing the
mac80211 hardware structure.
This issue was found by manual code inspection.

CVE-2026-98709
•
published on October 18, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: count only matching reservations in reserved switch
ieee80211_vif_use_reserved_switch() validates a replacement by counting
assigned links on ctx-replace_ctx and treating reservations too
broadly. A link can still be assigned to the old channel context while
holding a reservation that belongs to a different replacement
operation.
That can make the current replacement appear complete too early. If
another link finalizes first, the function can free the
WILL_BE_REPLACED chanctx while the unmatched link and driver still use
it, leading to a use-after-free in later beacon generation.
Require an in-place reservation to point at the current replacement
context, and require the reserved and assigned contexts to be the
matching replacement pair, before counting or moving the link.

CVE-2026-98708
•
published on October 18, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: keep paired old chanctx alive
An in-place replacement keeps reciprocal replace_ctx pointers between
the old WILL_BE_REPLACED chanctx and the new REPLACES_OTHER chanctx.
However, the early free paths only consider assigned and reserved link
users when deciding whether to free the old chanctx.
That lets the old chanctx be freed too early while the replacement
partner still points back to it, either when the last assigned link is
released or when that link successfully reassigns to another existing
context. Later unreserve and switch-finalization paths can then follow a
stale replace_ctx pointer.
Keep a paired old chanctx alive until the replacement pair has been torn
down. Apply the same check to both __ieee80211_link_release_channel()
and ieee80211_link_use_reserved_reassign(). If the replacement is later
abandoned, ieee80211_link_unreserve_chanctx() already tears down the
pairing before freeing the old chanctx once no users remain.

CVE-2026-98707
•
published on October 18, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: shut down RX BA session timer on teardown
Tearing down an RX BA session can leave the session timer queued on a
freed tid_rx. Later timer-wheel processing and the timer callback itself
then run against freed memory.
An RX BAR handler can dereference tid_rx under RCU before teardown
unpublishes it and stay in its read-side critical section while teardown
deletes the session timer. The stale handler can then rearm the timer
after timer_delete_sync() returns and before the RCU callback frees
tid_rx.
Use timer_shutdown_sync() so rearm attempts become ineffective once
teardown starts. Keep reorder_timer unchanged: teardown marks the session
removed under reorder_lock and its release path checks that state before
rearming. session_timer has no equivalent guard because
ieee80211_rx_h_ctrl() rearms it before taking reorder_lock.
