🚨 CVE-2026-45895
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

quota: fix livelock between quotactl and freeze_super

When a filesystem is frozen, quotactl_block() enters a retry loop
waiting for the filesystem to thaw. It acquires s_umount, checks the
freeze state, drops s_umount and uses sb_start_write() - sb_end_write()
pair to wait for the unfreeze.

However, this retry loop can trigger a livelock issue, specifically on
kernels with preemption disabled.

The mechanism is as follows:
1. freeze_super() sets SB_FREEZE_WRITE and calls sb_wait_write().
2. sb_wait_write() calls percpu_down_write(), which initiates
synchronize_rcu().
3. Simultaneously, quotactl_block() spins in its retry loop, immediately
executing the sb_start_write() - sb_end_write() pair.
4. Because the kernel is non-preemptible and the loop contains no
scheduling points, quotactl_block() never yields the CPU. This
prevents that CPU from reaching an RCU quiescent state.
5. synchronize_rcu() in the freezer thread waits indefinitely for the
quotactl_block() CPU to report a quiescent state.
6. quotactl_block() spins indefinitely waiting for the freezer to
advance, which it cannot do as it is blocked on the RCU sync.

This results in a hang of the freezer process and 100% CPU usage by the
quota process.

While this can occur intermittently on multi-core systems, it is
reliably reproducing on a node with the following script, running both
the freezer and the quota toggle on the same CPU:

# mkfs.ext4 -O quota /dev/sda 2g && mkdir a_mount
# mount /dev/sda -o quota,usrquota,grpquota a_mount
# taskset -c 3 bash -c "while true; do xfs_freeze -f a_mount; \
xfs_freeze -u a_mount; done" &
# taskset -c 3 bash -c "while true; do quotaon a_mount; \
quotaoff a_mount; done" &

Adding cond_resched() to the retry loop fixes the issue. It acts as an
RCU quiescent state, allowing synchronize_rcu() in percpu_down_write()
to complete.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mtd: intel-dg: Fix accessing regions before setting nregions

The regions array is counted by nregions, but it's set only after
accessing it:

[] UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/mtd/devices/mtd_intel_dg.c:750:15
[] index 0 is out of range for type '<unknown> [*]'

Fix it by also fixing an undesired behavior: the loop silently ignores
ENOMEM and continues setting the other entries.

🚨 CVE-2026-45897
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nft_counter: serialize reset with spinlock

Add a global static spinlock to serialize counter fetch+reset
operations, preventing concurrent dump-and-reset from underrunning
values.

The lock is taken before fetching the total so that two parallel
resets cannot both read the same counter values and then both
subtract them.

A global lock is used for simplicity since resets are infrequent.
If this becomes a bottleneck, it can be replaced with a per-net
lock later.

🚨 CVE-2026-45898
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

RDMA/iwcm: Fix workqueue list corruption by removing work_list

The commit e1168f0 ("RDMA/iwcm: Simplify cm_event_handler()")
changed the work submission logic to unconditionally call
queue_work() with the expectation that queue_work() would
have no effect if work was already pending. The problem is
that a free list of struct iwcm_work is used (for which
struct work_struct is embedded), so each call to queue_work()
is basically unique and therefore does indeed queue the work.

This causes a problem in the work handler which walks the work_list
until it's empty to process entries. This means that a single
run of the work handler could process item N+1 and release it
back to the free list while the actual workqueue entry is still
queued. It could then get reused (INIT_WORK...) and lead to
list corruption in the workqueue logic.

Fix this by just removing the work_list. The workqueue already
does this for us.

This fixes the following error that was observed when stress
testing with ucmatose on an Intel E830 in iWARP mode:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: control: Validate buf_len before strnlen() in snd_ctl_elem_init_enum_names()

snd_ctl_elem_init_enum_names() advances pointer p through the names
buffer while decrementing buf_len. If buf_len reaches zero but items
remain, the next iteration calls strnlen(p, 0).

While strnlen(p, 0) returns 0 and would hit the existing name_len == 0
error path, CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE's fortified strnlen() first checks
maxlen against __builtin_dynamic_object_size(). When Clang loses track
of p's object size inside the loop, this triggers a BRK exception panic
before the return value is examined.

Add a buf_len == 0 guard at the loop entry to prevent calling fortified
strnlen() on an exhausted buffer.

zram: do not forget to endio for partial discard requests

As reported by Qu Wenruo and Avinesh Kumar, the following

getconf PAGESIZE

blkdiscard -p 4k /dev/zram0

takes literally forever to complete. zram doesn't support partial
discards and just returns immediately w/o doing any discard work in such

blkdiscard sleeps forever in submit_bio_wait(). Fix this by jumping to
end_bio label, which does bio_endio().

🚨 CVE-2026-46090
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: aloop: Fix peer runtime UAF during format-change stop

loopback_check_format() may stop the capture side when playback starts
with parameters that no longer match a running capture stream. Commit
826af7fa62e3 ("ALSA: aloop: Fix racy access at PCM trigger") moved
the peer lookup under cable->lock, but the actual snd_pcm_stop() still
runs after dropping that lock.

A concurrent close can clear the capture entry from cable->streams[] and
detach or free its runtime while the playback trigger path still holds a
stale peer substream pointer.

Keep a per-cable count of in-flight peer stops before dropping
cable->lock, and make free_cable() wait for those stops before
detaching the runtime. This preserves the existing behavior while
making the peer runtime lifetime explicit.

🚨 CVE-2026-46093
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/vmalloc: take vmap_purge_lock in shrinker

decay_va_pool_node() can be invoked concurrently from two paths:
__purge_vmap_area_lazy() when pools are being purged, and the shrinker via
vmap_node_shrink_scan().

However, decay_va_pool_node() is not safe to run concurrently, and the
shrinker path currently lacks serialization, leading to races and possible
leaks.

Protect decay_va_pool_node() by taking vmap_purge_lock in the shrinker
path to ensure serialization with purge users.

🚨 CVE-2026-46094
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ext4: fix bounds check in check_xattrs() to prevent out-of-bounds access

The bounds check for the next xattr entry in check_xattrs() uses
(void *)next >= end, which allows next to point within sizeof(u32)
bytes of end. On the next loop iteration, IS_LAST_ENTRY() reads 4
bytes via *(__u32 *)(entry), which can overrun the valid xattr region.

For example, if next lands at end - 1, the check passes since
next < end, but IS_LAST_ENTRY() reads 4 bytes starting at end - 1,
accessing 3 bytes beyond the valid region.

Fix this by changing the check to (void *)next + sizeof(u32) > end,
ensuring there is always enough space for the IS_LAST_ENTRY() read
on the subsequent iteration.

tpm2-sessions: Fix missing tpm_buf_destroy() in tpm2_read_public()

tpm2_read_public() calls tpm_buf_init() but fails to call

1. When name_size() returns an error (unrecognized hash algorithm),
the function returns directly without destroying the buffer.

2. On the success path, the buffer is never destroyed before

🚨 CVE-2026-46097
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Input: edt-ft5x06 - fix use-after-free in debugfs teardown

The commit 68743c500c6e ("Input: edt-ft5x06 - use per-client debugfs
directory") removed the manual debugfs teardown, relying on the I2C core
to handle it. However, this creates a window where debugfs files are
still accessible after edt_ft5x06_ts_teardown_debugfs() frees
tsdata->raw_buffer.

To prevent a use-after-free, protect the freeing of raw_buffer with the
device mutex and set raw_buffer to NULL. The debugfs read function
already checks if raw_buffer is NULL under the same mutex, so this
safely avoids the use-after-free.

🚨 CVE-2026-46098
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: caif: clear client service pointer on teardown

`caif_connect()` can tear down an existing client after remote shutdown by
calling `caif_disconnect_client()` followed by `caif_free_client()`.
`caif_free_client()` releases the service layer referenced by
`adap_layer->dn`, but leaves that pointer stale.

When the socket is later destroyed, `caif_sock_destructor()` calls
`caif_free_client()` again and dereferences the freed service pointer.

Clear the client/service links before releasing the service object so
repeated teardown becomes harmless.

🚨 CVE-2026-46099
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: ipv6: fix NOREF dst use in seg6 and rpl lwtunnels

seg6_input_core() and rpl_input() call ip6_route_input() which sets a
NOREF dst on the skb, then pass it to dst_cache_set_ip6() invoking
dst_hold() unconditionally.
On PREEMPT_RT, ksoftirqd is preemptible and a higher-priority task can
release the underlying pcpu_rt between the lookup and the caching
through a concurrent FIB lookup on a shared nexthop.
Simplified race sequence:

ksoftirqd/X higher-prio task (same CPU X)
----------- --------------------------------
seg6_input_core(,skb)/rpl_input(skb)
dst_cache_get()
-> miss
ip6_route_input(skb)
-> ip6_pol_route(,skb,flags)
[RT6_LOOKUP_F_DST_NOREF in flags]
-> FIB lookup resolves fib6_nh
[nhid=N route]
-> rt6_make_pcpu_route()
[creates pcpu_rt, refcount=1]
pcpu_rt->sernum = fib6_sernum
[fib6_sernum=W]
-> cmpxchg(fib6_nh.rt6i_pcpu,
NULL, pcpu_rt)
[slot was empty, store succeeds]
-> skb_dst_set_noref(skb, dst)
[dst is pcpu_rt, refcount still 1]

rt_genid_bump_ipv6()
-> bumps fib6_sernum
[fib6_sernum from W to Z]
ip6_route_output()
-> ip6_pol_route()
-> FIB lookup resolves fib6_nh
[nhid=N]
-> rt6_get_pcpu_route()
pcpu_rt->sernum != fib6_sernum
[W <> Z, stale]
-> prev = xchg(rt6i_pcpu, NULL)
-> dst_release(prev)
[prev is pcpu_rt,
refcount 1->0, dead]

dst = skb_dst(skb)
[dst is the dead pcpu_rt]
dst_cache_set_ip6(dst)
-> dst_hold() on dead dst
-> WARN / use-after-free

For the race to occur, ksoftirqd must be preemptible (PREEMPT_RT without
PREEMPT_RT_NEEDS_BH_LOCK) and a concurrent task must be able to release
the pcpu_rt. Shared nexthop objects provide such a path, as two routes
pointing to the same nhid share the same fib6_nh and its rt6i_pcpu
entry.

Fix seg6_input_core() and rpl_input() by calling skb_dst_force() after
ip6_route_input() to force the NOREF dst into a refcounted one before
caching.
The output path is not affected as ip6_route_output() already returns a
refcounted dst.

fs: afs: revert mmap_prepare() change

Partially reverts commit 9d5403b1036c ("fs: convert most other
generic_file_*mmap() users to .mmap_prepare()").

This is because the .mmap invocation establishes a refcount, but
.mmap_prepare is called at a point where a merge or an allocation failure
might happen after the call, which would leak the refcount increment.

Functionality is being added to permit the use of .mmap_prepare in this
case, but in the interim, we need to fix this.

That skb is not released in strp_abort_strp(), which leaks the partially
assembled message and can be triggered repeatedly to exhaust memory.
