🚨 CVE-2026-53095
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix abuse of kprobe_write_ctx via freplace
uprobe programs are allowed to modify struct pt_regs.
Since the actual program type of uprobe is KPROBE, it can be abused to
modify struct pt_regs via kprobe+freplace when the kprobe attaches to
kernel functions.
For example,
SEC("?kprobe")
int kprobe(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
return 0;
}
SEC("?freplace")
int freplace_kprobe(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
regs->di = 0;
return 0;
}
freplace_kprobe prog will attach to kprobe prog.
kprobe prog will attach to a kernel function.
Without this patch, when the kernel function runs, its first arg will
always be set as 0 via the freplace_kprobe prog.
To fix the abuse of kprobe_write_ctx=true via kprobe+freplace, disallow
attaching freplace programs on kprobe programs with different
kprobe_write_ctx values.

🚨 CVE-2026-53096
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Use RCU-safe iteration in dev_map_redirect_multi() SKB path
The DEVMAP_HASH branch in dev_map_redirect_multi() uses
hlist_for_each_entry_safe() to iterate hash buckets, but this function
runs under RCU protection (called from xdp_do_generic_redirect_map()
in softirq context). Concurrent writers (__dev_map_hash_update_elem,
dev_map_hash_delete_elem) modify the list using RCU primitives
(hlist_add_head_rcu, hlist_del_rcu).
hlist_for_each_entry_safe() performs plain pointer dereferences without
rcu_dereference(), missing the acquire barrier needed to pair with
writers' rcu_assign_pointer(). On weakly-ordered architectures (ARM64,
POWER), a reader can observe a partially-constructed node. It also
defeats CONFIG_PROVE_RCU lockdep validation and KCSAN data-race
detection.
Replace with hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() using rcu_read_lock_bh_held()
as the lockdep condition, consistent with the rcu_dereference_check()
used in the DEVMAP (non-hash) branch of the same functions. Also fix
the same incorrect lockdep_is_held(&dtab->index_lock) condition in
dev_map_enqueue_multi(), where the lock is not held either.

🚨 CVE-2026-53097
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7996: fix use-after-free bugs in mt7996_mac_dump_work()
When the mt7996 pci chip is detaching, the mt7996_crash_data is

dump_work may still be running or pending, leading to UAF bugs
when the already freed crash_data is dereferenced again in
mt7996_mac_dump_work().
The race condition can occur as follows:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Do not allow deleting local storage in NMI
Currently, local storage may deadlock when deferring freeing selem or
local storage through kfree_rcu(), call_rcu() or call_rcu_tasks_trace()
in NMI or reentrant. Since deleting selem in NMI is an unlikely use
case, partially mitigate it by returning error when calling from
bpf_xxx_storage_delete() helpers in NMI. Note that, it is still possible
to deadlock through reentrant. A full mitigation requires returning
error when irqs_disabled() is true, which, however is too heavy-handed
for bpf_xxx_storage_delete().
The long-term solution requires _nolock versions of call_rcu. Another
possible solution is to defer the free through irq_work [0], but it
would grow the size of selem, which is non-ideal.
The check is only needed in bpf_selem_unlink(), which is used by helpers
and syscalls. bpf_selem_unlink_nofail() is fine as it is called during
map and owner tear down that never run in NMI or reentrant.

device-private THP entries. e.g. when move_pages is called on a PMD THP
page, then there maybe an intermediate state, where PMD entry acts as
a migration swap entry (pmd_present() is true). Then if an munmap
happens at the same time, then this VM_BUG_ON() can happen in
pmdp_huge_get_and_clear_full().
This patch fixes that.

🚨 CVE-2026-53109
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/pgtable-frag: Fix bad page state in pte_frag_destroy
powerpc uses pt_frag_refcount as a reference counter for tracking it's
pte and pmd page table fragments. For PTE table, in case of Hash with
64K pagesize, we have 16 fragments of 4K size in one 64K page.
Patch series [1] "mm: free retracted page table by RCU"
added pte_free_defer() to defer the freeing of PTE tables when
retract_page_tables() is called for madvise MADV_COLLAPSE on shmem
range.
[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/7cd843a9-aa80-14f-5eb2-33427363c20@google.com/
pte_free_defer() sets the active flag on the corresponding fragment's
folio & calls pte_fragment_free(), which reduces the pt_frag_refcount.
When pt_frag_refcount reaches 0 (no active fragment using the folio), it
checks if the folio active flag is set, if set, it calls call_rcu to
free the folio, it the active flag is unset then it calls pte_free_now().
Now, this can lead to following problem in a corner case...

The bad page state error occurs when such a folio gets freed (with
active flag set), from do_exit() path in parallel.
... this can happen when the pte fragment was allocated from this folio,
but when all the fragments get freed, the pte_frag_refcount still had some
unused fragments. Now, if this process exits, with such folio as it's cached
pte_frag in mm->context, then during pte_frag_destroy(), we simply call
pagetable_dtor() and pagetable_free(), meaning it doesn't clear the
active flag. This, can lead to the above bug. Since we are anyway in
do_exit() path, then if the refcount is 0, then I guess it should be
ok to simply clear the folio active flag before calling pagetable_dtor()
& pagetable_free().

🚨 CVE-2026-53111
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: test_run: Fix the null pointer dereference issue in bpf_lwt_xmit_push_encap

But skb->_skb_refdst may not be initialized when the skb is set up by
bpf_prog_test_run_skb function. Executing bpf_lwt_push_ip_encap function
in this scenario will trigger null pointer dereference, causing a kernel

🚨 CVE-2026-53112
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtlwifi: pci: fix possible use-after-free caused by unfinished irq_prepare_bcn_tasklet
The irq_prepare_bcn_tasklet is initialized in rtl_pci_init() and
scheduled when RTL_IMR_BCNINT interrupt is triggered by hardware.
But it is never killed in rtl_pci_deinit(). When the rtlwifi card
probe fails or is being detached, the ieee80211_hw is deallocated.
However, irq_prepare_bcn_tasklet may still be running or pending,
leading to use-after-free when the freed ieee80211_hw is accessed
in _rtl_pci_prepare_bcn_tasklet().
Similar to irq_tasklet, add tasklet_kill() in rtl_pci_deinit() to
ensure that irq_prepare_bcn_tasklet is properly terminated before
the ieee80211_hw is released.
The issue was identified through static analysis.

🚨 CVE-2026-53113
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: fix memory leaks in beacon template setup
The functions ath11k_mac_setup_bcn_tmpl_ema() and
ath11k_mac_setup_bcn_tmpl_mbssid() allocate memory for beacon templates
but fail to free it when parameter setup returns an error.
Since beacon templates must be released during normal execution, they
must also be released in the error handling paths to prevent memory
leaks.
Fix this by using unified exit paths with proper cleanup in the respective
error paths.
Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review.

🚨 CVE-2026-53114
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/amd/ibs: Avoid calling perf_allow_kernel() from the IBS NMI handler
Calling perf_allow_kernel() from the NMI context is unsafe and could be
fatal. Capture the permission at event-initialization time by storing it
in event->hw.flags, and have the NMI handler rely on that cached flag
instead of making the call directly.

🚨 CVE-2026-53115
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bus: fsl-mc: use generic driver_override infrastructure
When a driver is probed through __driver_attach(), the bus' match()
callback is called without the device lock held, thus accessing the
driver_override field without a lock, which can cause a UAF.
Fix this by using the driver-core driver_override infrastructure taking
care of proper locking internally.
Note that calling match() from __driver_attach() without the device lock
held is intentional. [1]

🚨 CVE-2026-53116
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/ap: use generic driver_override infrastructure
When the AP masks are updated via apmask_store() or aqmask_store(),
ap_bus_revise_bindings() is called after ap_attr_mutex has been
released.
This calls __ap_revise_reserved(), which accesses the driver_override
field without holding any lock, racing against a concurrent
driver_override_store() that may free the old string, resulting in a
potential UAF.
Fix this by using the driver-core driver_override infrastructure, which
protects all accesses with an internal spinlock.
Note that unlike most other buses, the AP bus does not check
driver_override in its match() callback; the override is checked in
ap_device_probe() and __ap_revise_reserved() instead.
Also note that we do not enable the driver_override feature of struct
bus_type, as AP - in contrast to most other buses - passes "" to
sysfs_emit() when the driver_override pointer is NULL. Thus, printing
"\n" instead of "(null)\n".
Additionally, AP has a custom counter that is modified in the
corresponding custom driver_override_store().
