CVE-2026-43095
•
published on May 6, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SDCA: Fix errors in IRQ cleanup
IRQs are enabled through sdca_irq_populate() from component probe
using devm_request_threaded_irq(), this however means the IRQs can
persist if the sound card is torn down. Some of the IRQ handlers
store references to the card and the kcontrols which can then
fail. Some detail of the crash was explained in [1].
Generally it is not advised to use devm outside of bus probe, so
the code is updated to not use devm. The IRQ requests are not moved
to bus probe time as it makes passing the snd_soc_component into
the IRQs very awkward and would the require a second step once the
component is available, so it is simpler to just register the IRQs
at this point, even though that necessitates some manual cleanup.

CVE-2026-43094

published on May 6, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ixgbevf: add missing negotiate_features op to Hyper-V ops table
Commit a7075f501bd3 ("ixgbevf: fix mailbox API compatibility by
negotiating supported features") added the .negotiate_features callback
to ixgbe_mac_operations and populated it in ixgbevf_mac_ops, but forgot
to add it to ixgbevf_hv_mac_ops. This leaves the function pointer NULL
on Hyper-V VMs.
During probe, ixgbevf_negotiate_api() calls ixgbevf_set_features(),
which unconditionally dereferences hw-mac.ops.negotiate_features().
On Hyper-V this results in a NULL pointer dereference:

CVE-2026-43094

published on May 6, 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ixgbevf: add missing negotiate_features op to Hyper-V ops table
Commit a7075f501bd3 ("ixgbevf: fix mailbox API compatibility by
negotiating supported features") added the .negotiate_features callback
to ixgbe_mac_operations and populated it in ixgbevf_mac_ops, but forgot
to add it to ixgbevf_hv_mac_ops. This leaves the function pointer NULL
on Hyper-V VMs.
During probe, ixgbevf_negotiate_api() calls ixgbevf_set_features(),
which unconditionally dereferences hw-mac.ops.negotiate_features().
On Hyper-V this results in a NULL pointer dereference:
