CVE-2026-98886
•
published on October 23, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/gma500: return errors from Oaktrail HDMI I2C reads
xfer_read() waits for the HDMI I2C transaction to reach
I2C_TRANSACTION_DONE, but it ignores both timeout and signal returns from
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout(). If the interrupt never
advances the transaction state, the loop can wait forever.
Return -ETIMEDOUT when the completion wait expires, propagate interrupted
waits, and make the I2C master_xfer callback return the first transfer
error instead of reporting a successful message count.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ima: return error early if file xattr cannot be changed
During early boot, the filesystem is read-only and any changes

changing xattr starts an ext4 transaction which fails with the

CVE-2026-98884
•
published on October 23, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: core: Add validation for host-provided max_segs
The max_segs field is of type unsigned short, and if a host driver
sets an excessively large value, it may be truncated to zero. This
can cause mmc_alloc_sg() to call kmalloc_objs() with a zero size
allocation request, which leads to undefined behavior.
Under the SLUB allocator, kmalloc(0) returns a special pointer
(ZERO_SIZE_PTR). The subsequent 'if (sg)' check will evaluate to
true, and sg_init_table() will then attempt to access invalid memory,
resulting in a crash:

we return an error and print an error message, allowing host driver
developers to identify and fix incorrect max_segs configuration.
This is a defensive measure that ensures the MMC core fails gracefully
when host drivers provide invalid max_segs values, rather than crashing
with a page fault.

CVE-2026-98878
•
published on October 23, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/gic-v5: Immediately exec priority drop following activate
With GICv5 an interrupt of equal or lower priority cannot be signalled
until there has been a priority drop. This is done via the GIC CDEOI
system instruction. Once this has been executed, the hardware is able
to signal the next interrupt if there is one.
As all interrupts are programmed to have the same priority, no new
interrupts can be signalled until the priority drop has happened. This
can cause issues when, for example, an interrupt remains active while
a long running process takes place, such as when injecting a physical
interrupt into a guest VM in software.
The GICv5 driver has so far done the priority drop as part of
irq_eoi(), i.e., at the same time as deactivating the interrupt. This
means that any long running process (or VM) could block incoming
interrupts, effectively causing a denial of service for all other
interrupts.
Rather than doing the EOI as part of irq_eoi() (which the name would
suggest would be a good place for it), move it to happen immediately
after acknowledging an interrupt in the main GICv5 interrupt
handler. The deactivation of interrupts (GIC CDDI) remains implemented
as part of irq_eoi(), which means that the same interrupt cannot be
signalled a second time until deactivated by software.

•

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: remove stale channels from all sessions on teardown
ksmbd_sessions_deregister() removes a connection's channels from other
sessions' channel lists only while conn-binding is still set:
if (conn->binding) {
hash_for_each_safe(sessions_table, ...)
ksmbd_chann_del(conn, sess);
}
conn->binding is a transient flag: it is cleared once a binding
SESSION_SETUP completes, and also by a subsequent non-binding
SESSION_SETUP on the same connection (a reauthentication on a bound
channel, or a new SessionId==0 setup). A connection that has bound a
channel into another session's ksmbd_chann_list and then clears
conn->binding leaves that channel behind when it disconnects: the
channel, whose chann->conn points at the now freed struct ksmbd_conn,
stays on the owner session's list.
When the owning connection later tears down, the second loop
dereferences the stale channel:
xa_for_each(&sess->ksmbd_chann_list, chann_id, chann)
if (chann->conn != conn)
ksmbd_conn_set_exiting(chann->conn); /* freed */
which is a use-after-free write into the freed ksmbd_conn (the same
stale channel is also walked by show_proc_session() through /proc). The
session is leaked as well, because its channel list never empties.
Remove the conn->binding gate so a connection always removes its
channels from every session on teardown.

CVE-2026-98869
•
published on October 21, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Infer zext_dst based on static register liveness analysis
As reported in the thread [1], the verifier's 32-bit operations zero
extension logic is broken. This logic is responsible for correct
semantics of 32-bit operations on s390 architecture.
According to BPF semantics, operation `w1 += 1` is supposed to zero
extend the upper half of the register `r1`. On s390 the JIT relies on
the verifier emitting explicit zero extension before such operations.
The verifier attempts to minimize the amount of zero extensions
inserted by tracking whether upper halves of the 64-bit registers are
ever used. Previously such tracking worked as follows:
- bpf_reg_state-subreg_def field was set by do_check_insn()
for each operation defining lower but not the upper halves
of the register.
- Whenever an operation reading the whole register was verified,
the verifier checked register's subreg_def and set
bpf_insn_aux_data->zext_dst flag as true via a call to
mark_insn_zext() function.
- After the verification was complete, a special pass
bpf_opt_subreg_zext_lo32_rnd_hi32() extended 32-bit operations
with bpf_insn_aux_data->zext_dst set as true by adding
explicit zero extension.
Note that the logic above relies on bpf_reg_state->subreg_def,
which is a property of a current verifier state.
Before the commit [2] two additional steps happened:
- The verifier tracked upper and lower register halves' liveness as
flags REG_LIVE_READ{32,64} in bpf_reg_state->live.
- The function propagate_liveness() called mark_insn_zext()
in order to transfer the knowledge about which registers have
their upper halves alive (and thus might require zero extension).
The commit [2] removed the two steps described above,
hence making possible a situation like below:
- The register's upper half is set and is used on some verification
path P1 and the register happens not to be marked as precise.
- The checkpoint C is created while processing some instruction
between register initialization and usage.
- On some other verification path P2 the register's upper half is not
initialized and that path ends hitting the checkpoint C.
- In such a case the register's initialization on path P2 would lack
zext_dst mark, making it possible for the program to inject
an arbitrary value in the register's upper half.
This commit replaces subreg_def based logic with computing zext_dst
statically, as a part of the bpf_compute_live_registers() analysis:
- The analysis now tracks usage of upper and lower halves of the
registers separately.
- If some instruction defines a 32-bit subregister, but not the whole
register, *and* the upper half of the register is alive after that
instruction, the instruction is marked as zext_dst.
There is one notable drop in precision: whenever a BPF subprogram is
called, all 64 bits of parameter registers are presumed to be used.
The assumption is that such a drop in precision would not inflict
a noticeable performance penalty.
