🚨 CVE-2026-45939
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpib: Fix memory leak in ni_usb_init()
In ni_usb_init(), if ni_usb_setup_init() fails, the function returns
-EFAULT without freeing the allocated writes buffer, leading to a
memory leak.
Additionally, ni_usb_setup_init() returns 0 on failure, which causes
ni_usb_init() to return -EFAULT, an inappropriate error code for this
situation.
Fix the leak by freeing writes in the error path. Modify
ni_usb_setup_init() to return -EINVAL on failure and propagate this
error code in ni_usb_init().

🚨 CVE-2026-45940
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: stmmac: fix oops when split header is enabled
For GMAC4, when split header is enabled, in some rare cases, the
hardware does not fill buf2 of the first descriptor with payload.
Thus we cannot assume buf2 is always fully filled if it is not
the last descriptor. Otherwise, the length of buf2 of the second
descriptor will be calculated wrong and cause an oops:

🚨 CVE-2026-45942
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix e4b bitmap inconsistency reports
A bitmap inconsistency issue was observed during stress tests under
mixed huge-page workloads. Ext4 reported multiple e4b bitmap check
failures like:
ext4_mb_complex_scan_group:2508: group 350, 8179 free clusters as
per group info. But got 8192 blocks
Analysis and experimentation confirmed that the issue is caused by a
race condition between page migration and bitmap modification. Although
this timing window is extremely narrow, it is still hit in practice:
folio_lock ext4_mb_load_buddy
__migrate_folio
check ref count
folio_mc_copy __filemap_get_folio
folio_try_get(folio)
......
mb_mark_used
ext4_mb_unload_buddy
__folio_migrate_mapping
folio_ref_freeze
folio_unlock
The root cause of this issue is that the fast path of load_buddy only
increments the folio's reference count, which is insufficient to prevent
concurrent folio migration. We observed that the folio migration process
acquires the folio lock. Therefore, we can determine whether to take the
fast path in load_buddy by checking the lock status. If the folio is
locked, we opt for the slow path (which acquires the lock) to close this
concurrency window.
Additionally, this change addresses the following issues:
When the DOUBLE_CHECK macro is enabled to inspect bitmap-related
issues, the following error may be triggered:
corruption in group 324 at byte 784(6272): f in copy != ff on
disk/prealloc
Analysis reveals that this is a false positive. There is a specific race
window where the bitmap and the group descriptor become momentarily
inconsistent, leading to this error report:
ext4_mb_load_buddy ext4_mb_load_buddy
__filemap_get_folio(create|lock)
folio_lock
ext4_mb_init_cache
folio_mark_uptodate
__filemap_get_folio(no lock)
......
mb_mark_used
mb_mark_used_double
mb_cmp_bitmaps
mb_set_bits(e4b->bd_bitmap)
folio_unlock
The original logic assumed that since mb_cmp_bitmaps is called when the
bitmap is newly loaded from disk, the folio lock would be sufficient to
prevent concurrent access. However, this overlooks a specific race
condition: if another process attempts to load buddy and finds the folio
is already in an uptodate state, it will immediately begin using it without
holding folio lock.

🚨 CVE-2026-46064
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ibmasm: fix heap over-read in ibmasm_send_i2o_message()
The ibmasm_send_i2o_message() function uses get_dot_command_size() to
compute the byte count for memcpy_toio(), but this value is derived from
user-controlled fields in the dot_command_header (command_size: u8,
data_size: u16) and is never validated against the actual allocation size.
A root user can write a small buffer with inflated header fields, causing
memcpy_toio() to read up to ~65 KB past the end of the allocation into
adjacent kernel heap, which is then forwarded to the service processor
over MMIO.
Silently clamping the copy size is not sufficient: if the header fields
claim a larger size than the buffer, the SP receives a dot command whose
own header is inconsistent with the I2O message length, which can cause
the SP to desynchronize. Reject such commands outright by returning
failure.
Validate command_size before calling get_mfa_inbound() to avoid leaking
an I2O message frame: reading INBOUND_QUEUE_PORT dequeues a hardware
frame from the controller's free pool, and returning without a
corresponding set_mfa_inbound() call would permanently exhaust it.
Additionally, clamp command_size to I2O_COMMAND_SIZE before the
memcpy_toio() so the MMIO write stays within the I2O message frame,
consistent with the clamping already performed by outgoing_message_size()
for the header field.

🚨 CVE-2026-46066
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: fix num_ops off-by-one when crypto allocation fails
move_dirty_folio_in_page_array() may fail if the file is encrypted, the
dirty folio is not the first in the batch, and it fails to allocate a
bounce buffer to hold the ciphertext. When that happens,
ceph_process_folio_batch() simply redirties the folio and flushes the
current batch -- it can retry that folio in a future batch.
However, if this failed folio is not contiguous with the last folio that
did make it into the batch, then ceph_process_folio_batch() has already
incremented `ceph_wbc->num_ops`; because it doesn't follow through and
add the discontiguous folio to the array, ceph_submit_write() -- which
expects that `ceph_wbc->num_ops` accurately reflects the number of
contiguous ranges (and therefore the required number of "write extent"
ops) in the writeback -- will panic the kernel:
BUG_ON(ceph_wbc->op_idx + 1 != req->r_num_ops);
This issue can be reproduced on affected kernels by writing to
fscrypt-enabled CephFS file(s) with a 4KiB-written/4KiB-skipped/repeat
pattern (total filesize should not matter) and gradually increasing the
system's memory pressure until a bounce buffer allocation fails.
Fix this crash by decrementing `ceph_wbc->num_ops` back to the correct
value when move_dirty_folio_in_page_array() fails, but the folio already
started counting a new (i.e. still-empty) extent.
The defect corrected by this patch has existed since 2022 (see first
`Fixes:`), but another bug blocked multi-folio encrypted writeback until
recently (see second `Fixes:`). The second commit made it into 6.18.16,
6.19.6, and 7.0-rc1, unmasking the panic in those versions. This patch
therefore fixes a regression (panic) introduced by cac190c7674f.

crypto: nx - fix bounce buffer leaks in nx842_crypto_{alloc,free}_ctx
The bounce buffers are allocated with __get_free_pages() using
BOUNCE_BUFFER_ORDER (order 2 = 4 pages), but both the allocation error
path and nx842_crypto_free_ctx() release the buffers with free_page().
Use free_pages() with the matching order instead.

🚨 CVE-2026-46069
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mwifiex: fix use-after-free in mwifiex_adapter_cleanup()
The mwifiex_adapter_cleanup() function uses timer_delete()
(non-synchronous) for the wakeup_timer before the adapter structure is
freed. This is incorrect because timer_delete() does not wait for any
running timer callback to complete.
If the wakeup_timer callback (wakeup_timer_fn) is executing when
mwifiex_adapter_cleanup() is called, the callback will continue to
access adapter fields (adapter->hw_status, adapter->if_ops.card_reset,
etc.) which may be freed by mwifiex_free_adapter() called later in the
mwifiex_remove_card() path.
Use timer_delete_sync() instead to ensure any running timer callback has
completed before returning.

🚨 CVE-2026-46072
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs3: add buffer boundary checks to run_unpack()
run_unpack() checks `run_buf < run_last` at the top of the while loop
but then reads size_size and offset_size bytes via run_unpack_s64()
without verifying they fit within the remaining buffer. A crafted NTFS
image with truncated run data in an MFT attribute triggers an OOB heap
read of up to 15 bytes when the filesystem is mounted.
Add boundary checks before each run_unpack_s64() call to ensure the
declared field size does not exceed the remaining buffer.
Found by fuzzing with a source-patched harness (LibAFL + QEMU).

🚨 CVE-2026-46073
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (powerz) Fix missing usb_kill_urb() on signal interrupt
wait_for_completion_interruptible_timeout() returns -ERESTARTSYS when
interrupted. This needs to abort the URB and return an error. No data
has been received from the device so any reads from the transfer
buffer are invalid.
The original code tests !ret, which only catches the timeout case (0).
On signal delivery (-ERESTARTSYS), !ret is false so the function skips
usb_kill_urb() and falls through to read from the unfilled transfer
buffer.
Fix by capturing the return value into a long (matching the function
return type) and handling signal (negative) and timeout (zero) cases
with separate checks that both call usb_kill_urb() before returning.

🚨 CVE-2026-46076
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: nSVM: Raise #UD if unhandled VMMCALL isn't intercepted by L1
Explicitly synthesize a #UD for VMMCALL if L2 is active, L1 does NOT want
to intercept VMMCALL, nested_svm_l2_tlb_flush_enabled() is true, and the
hypercall is something other than one of the supported Hyper-V hypercalls.
When all of the above conditions are met, KVM will intercept VMMCALL but
never forward it to L1, i.e. will let L2 make hypercalls as if it were L1.
The TLFS says a whole lot of nothing about this scenario, so go with the
architectural behavior, which says that VMMCALL #UDs if it's not
intercepted.
Opportunistically do a 2-for-1 stub trade by stub-ifying the new API
instead of the helpers it uses. The last remaining "single" stub will
soon be dropped as well.

🚨 CVE-2026-46079
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rbd: fix null-ptr-deref when device_add_disk() fails
do_rbd_add() publishes the device with device_add() before calling
device_add_disk(). If device_add_disk() fails after device_add()
succeeds, the error path calls rbd_free_disk() directly and then later
falls through to rbd_dev_device_release(), which calls rbd_free_disk()
again. This double teardown can leave blk-mq cleanup operating on
invalid state and trigger a null-ptr-deref in
__blk_mq_free_map_and_rqs(), reached from blk_mq_free_tag_set().
Fix this by following the normal remove ordering: call device_del()
before rbd_dev_device_release() when device_add_disk() fails after
device_add(). That keeps the teardown sequence consistent and avoids
re-entering disk cleanup through the wrong path.
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are
developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing
v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly
available.
We reproduced the bug on v7.0 with a real Ceph backend and a QEMU x86_64
guest booted with KASAN and CONFIG_FAILSLAB enabled. The reproducer
confines failslab injections to the __add_disk() range and injects
fail-nth while mapping an RBD image through
/sys/bus/rbd/add_single_major.
On the unpatched kernel, fail-nth=4 reliably triggered the fault:

output: JBD2: kworker/6:2 wants too many credits credits:5450 rsv_credits:0 max:5449
To prevent exceeding the credits limit, modify ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() to
handle extents in a batch of transaction.
Additionally, relocate ocfs2_del_inode_from_orphan(). The orphan inode
should only be removed from the orphan list after the extent tree update
is complete. This ensures that if a crash occurs in the middle of extent
tree updates, we won't leave stale blocks beyond EOF.
This patch also changes the logic for updating the inode size and removing
orphan, making it similar to ext4_dio_write_end_io(). Both operations are
performed only when everything looks good.
Finally, thanks to Jans and Joseph for providing the bug fix prototype and
suggestions.
