🚨 CVE-2026-68118
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: challenge ACK for non-exact RST in SYN-RECEIVED
The SYN-RECEIVED request-socket path in tcp_check_req() accepts an
in-window RST without requiring SEG.SEQ to exactly match RCV.NXT. A
non-exact RST therefore removes the request instead of eliciting a
challenge ACK.
RFC 9293 section 3.10.7.4 applies the RFC 5961 reset check in
SYN-RECEIVED: an exact RST resets the connection, while a non-exact
in-window RST must trigger a challenge ACK and be dropped.
Apply that check before the ACK-field validation, following the RFC
sequence-number, RST, then ACK processing order. Factor the per-netns
challenge ACK quota out of tcp_send_challenge_ack() so request sockets
can share it. Use the request socket's send_ack() callback and its own
out-of-window ACK timestamp to send and rate-limit the response.

🚨 CVE-2026-68119
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: initialize standalone TCP-AO response padding
tcp_v4_send_ack() and tcp_v6_send_response() construct standalone TCP
responses with TCP-AO options. The option length carries the actual MAC
length, but the TCP header length includes the option rounded up to a
four-byte boundary.
tcp_ao_hash_hdr() writes the MAC only. Thus, when the MAC length is not
four-byte aligned, the one to three bytes after the MAC are left
uninitialized and may be transmitted. For the normal TCP-AO hashing
mode, those bytes also have to be initialized before computing the MAC.
Initialize only the alignment padding in the TCP-AO branches, before
hashing the header. Use TCPOPT_NOP, as in the normal TCP-AO output path.
This avoids adding work to non-AO TCP responses while preserving a valid
authenticated header.

🚨 CVE-2026-68120
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtase: Workaround for TX hang caused by hardware packet parsing
The hardware performs packet parsing before packet transmission.
Parsing incomplete IPv4, IPv6, TCP, or UDP headers may trigger a TX
hang because the hardware parser expects additional protocol header
data that is not present in the packet.
The hardware performs additional PTP parsing on UDP packets identified
by destination ports 319/320 at the expected UDP destination port
offset.
If such a packet has transport data smaller than RTASE_MIN_PAD_LEN,
the hardware parser expects additional packet data and may trigger a
TX hang.
To avoid these hardware issues, the driver applies the following
workarounds.
Drop malformed packets that may trigger this hardware issue before
transmission.
For IPv4 non-initial fragments, the hardware does not check the
fragment offset before parsing the expected transport header location.
As a result, these packets are still subject to transport header
parsing even though they do not contain a transport header. If the
transport data is shorter than the minimum transport header required
by the hardware parser, pad the transport data to the minimum
transport header length required by the hardware parser. Packets that
also match the hardware PTP parsing conditions continue to follow the
corresponding workaround.
For IPv6 fragmented packets, neither of the above hardware issues
occurs because the hardware only continues packet parsing when the
IPv6 Base Header Next Header field directly indicates UDP. Packets
carrying a Fragment Header do not continue through the subsequent
packet parsing stages.
For packets identified for hardware PTP parsing, pad the transport
data so it reaches RTASE_MIN_PAD_LEN before transmission.

🚨 CVE-2026-68121
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pppoe: reload header pointer after dev_hard_header()
pppoe_sendmsg() saves a pointer to the PPPoE header before calling
dev_hard_header(). Device header callbacks are allowed to reallocate the
skb head, invalidating pointers into it.
This can happen when a send is blocked in copy_from_user() while the first
non-Ethernet port is added to an empty team device. The team's delegated
GRE header callback then expands the skb head. PPPoE subsequently writes
six bytes through the stale pointer into the freed head.
Reload the PPPoE header through the skb's network-header offset after
device header creation. pskb_expand_head() updates that offset when it
relocates the head.

🚨 CVE-2026-68122
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ovpn: fix peer refcount leak in TCP error paths
When either the TCP RX or TX error path calls ovpn_peer_hold() followed
by schedule_work(&peer->tcp.defer_del_work), and the work item is already
pending from the other path, schedule_work() returns false and the work
runs only once. Since ovpn_tcp_peer_del_work() calls ovpn_peer_put()
exactly once, the extra reference taken by the losing path is never
dropped, leaking the peer object.
The race window:
CPU0 (strparser/RX error): CPU1 (tcp_tx_work/TX error):
ovpn_peer_hold() <- refcnt+1 ovpn_peer_hold() <- refcnt+2
schedule_work() <- queued schedule_work() <- NO-OP
(work already pending)
ovpn_tcp_peer_del_work runs:
ovpn_peer_del()
ovpn_peer_put() <- refcnt+1
<- peer never freed
Fix by checking the return value of schedule_work() in both paths and
calling ovpn_peer_put() to drop the extra reference if the work was
already pending. ovpn_peer_hold() is kept unconditional in the TX path
as it cannot fail at that point.

openvswitch: fix GSO userspace truncation underflow
OVS_ACTION_ATTR_TRUNC currently stores a delta from the original skb
length in OVS_CB(skb)->cutlen. When a later userspace action segments a

A segment can then reach queue_userspace_packet() with cutlen greater

Store the maximum preserved length instead and bound each consumer
against the current skb length. Use U32_MAX as the no-truncation
sentinel so the value remains valid if skb geometry changes before a

🚨 CVE-2026-68124
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mctp: serial: handle zero-length frames to prevent rx buffer overflow
The MCTP serial receive state machine reads a frame length byte in
mctp_serial_push_header() case 2 and validates it upper-bound-only:
if (c > MCTP_SERIAL_FRAME_MTU) {
dev->rxstate = STATE_ERR;
} else {
dev->rxlen = c;
dev->rxpos = 0;
dev->rxstate = STATE_DATA;
...
}
A length of zero passes this check, so rxlen is set to 0 and the state
machine advances to STATE_DATA. In mctp_serial_push() STATE_DATA, the
incoming byte is stored and rxpos incremented before the terminator is
dev->rxbuf[dev->rxpos] = c;
dev->rxpos++;
dev->rxstate = STATE_DATA;
if (dev->rxpos == dev->rxlen) {
dev->rxpos = 0;
dev->rxstate = STATE_TRAILER;
}
With rxlen == 0 the "rxpos == rxlen" terminator can never fire (rxpos is
already 1 on the first data byte), so subsequent bytes are written past
the end of the fixed 74-byte rxbuf, which is the last member of the
netdev private area. Every following data byte is an attacker-controlled
1-byte out-of-bounds heap write, and the overflow continues until a
frame (0x7e) or escape byte resets the parser -- effectively unbounded.
Reaching this requires CAP_NET_ADMIN to attach the N_MCTP line
discipline and bring the resulting mctpserialN netdev up, after which
the bytes arrive via the tty receive path.
Route a zero-length frame straight to STATE_TRAILER instead of
STATE_DATA. The trailer/framing bytes are still consumed, and the frame
resolves to a zero-length skb that the MCTP core rejects; the parser
never enters STATE_DATA with rxlen == 0, so the out-of-bounds write can
no longer occur.

llsec_do_decrypt_auth() computes the associated-data length for the
AEAD request as
assoclen += datalen - authlen;
where datalen is the number of bytes after the MAC header and authlen
(4, 8 or 16) is the length of the authentication tag. Nothing verifies
that the frame actually carries at least authlen payload bytes. A
secured frame whose payload is shorter than the tag makes
datalen - authlen negative; assoclen is then passed to
aead_request_set_ad() as an unsigned value close to 4 GiB, so
crypto_aead_decrypt() walks far off the end of the scatterlist that

The frame is fully attacker-controlled and reaches this path from any

2. Since no packets are processed, no Rx completions are generated.
3. Because no completions occur, NAPI is never scheduled, preventing
the refill loop from running again even after memory is freed.
This results in a permanent queue stall.
Resolve this by introducing a starvation recovery timer for each Rx queue.
If the number of buffers posted to hardware falls below a critical low
threshold, start a timer to periodically reschedule NAPI. Once NAPI runs
and successfully refills the queue above the threshold, the timer is
not rescheduled.
The threshold is set to 32 because a single maximum-sized Receive Segment
Coalescing (RSC) packet can consume up to 19 descriptors in the Rx path.
Lower thresholds (such as 8 or 16) would be insufficient to process a
complete maximum-sized RSC packet, risking packet drops or unexpected
hardware behavior under memory pressure. Setting the threshold to 32
guarantees a safe margin to handle at least one full RSC packet.

🚨 CVE-2026-68130
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: defer destroy_previous_session() until after NTLM authentication
In ntlm_authenticate(), destroy_previous_session() is called using a
user pointer resolved from the client-supplied NTLM blob username field
before the NTLMv2 response is validated. An authenticated attacker can
set the NTLM blob username to match a victim account and set
PreviousSessionId to the victim's session ID; destroy_previous_session()
destroys the victim's session while ksmbd_decode_ntlmssp_auth_blob()
subsequently rejects the request with -EPERM.
Move destroy_previous_session() and the prev_id assignment to after
ksmbd_decode_ntlmssp_auth_blob() returns success and use sess->user
rather than the pre-authentication lookup result. This matches the
ordering already used by krb5_authenticate(), where
destroy_previous_session() is called only after
ksmbd_krb5_authenticate() returns success.

🚨 CVE-2026-68131
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rbd: Reset positive result codes to zero in object map update path
In a reply message to an RBD request, a positive result code indicates
a data payload, which is not allowed for writes. While
rbd_osd_req_callback() already resets a positive result code for writes
to zero, rbd_object_map_callback() does not. This allows a corrupted
reply to an object map update to trigger the rbd_assert(*result < 0) in
__rbd_obj_handle_request(). This happens, because
rbd_object_map_callback() calls rbd_obj_handle_request() ->
__rbd_obj_handle_request() and passes this positive result code. From
__rbd_obj_handle_request(), rbd_obj_advance_write() is called, which
leaves the positive result code unchanged and returns true. Therefore,
the if(done && *result) branch is executed in __rbd_obj_handle_request()
and the assertion triggers.
This patch fixes the issue by adjusting the logic in the
rbd_object_map_callback() path. A positive result code for an object map
update is now reset to zero (similar to rbd_osd_req_callback()), and the
message is subsequently handled the same way as if the result code was
zero from the beginning. Additionally, a WARN_ON_ONCE() is added for
this case.

Fix this by not holding s_umount around the bdev_thaw() loop at all. Pin

teardown path can then lock or inspect a freed struct sock/struct x25_sock.

live, then drop the temporary reference after the socket has been locked,

race on qdisc_rtab_list and on the non-atomic refcnt, leading to a
use-after-free / double-free of the kmalloc-2k struct qdisc_rate_table.
qdisc_rtab_list is a single global (not per-netns), so the corrupted
object is shared system-wide.

Protect qdisc_rtab_list and the refcount with a dedicated spinlock. The
(sleeping, GFP_KERNEL) allocation in qdisc_get_rtab() is performed before
taking the lock; if a concurrent inserter added an identical table in the
meantime the freshly allocated one is freed under the lock, so no
duplicate is leaked. qdisc_put_rtab() now decrements the refcount and
unlinks under the same lock.

🚨 CVE-2026-68139
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Use sender devcom for MPV master-up
After PCIe DPC recovery, mlx5 reloads the affected functions and
replays multiport affiliation events. In the reported failure, the
first relevant device error was:
pcieport 0000:10:01.1: DPC: containment event
pcieport 0000:10:01.1: PCIe Bus Error: severity=Uncorrected (Fatal)
pcieport 0000:10:01.1: [ 5] SDES (First)
mlx5 recovered the PCI functions and resumed 0000:11:00.1. During
that resume, RDMA multiport binding replayed
MLX5_DRIVER_EVENT_AFFILIATION_DONE and mlx5e sent
MPV_DEVCOM_MASTER_UP. The host then panicked with:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010
RIP: mlx5_devcom_comp_set_ready+0x5/0x40 [mlx5_core]
RDI: 0000000000000000
Call trace included:
mlx5_devcom_comp_set_ready
mlx5e_devcom_event_mpv
mlx5_devcom_send_event
mlx5_ib_bind_slave_port
mlx5r_mp_probe
mlx5_pci_resume
MPV devcom registration publishes mlx5e private data to the component
peer list before mlx5e_devcom_init_mpv() stores the returned component
device in priv->devcom. A concurrent master-up event can therefore
reach a peer whose private data is visible but whose priv->devcom
backpointer is still NULL.
MPV_DEVCOM_MASTER_UP already carries the sender/master mlx5e private
data as event_data. The ready bit is stored on the shared devcom
component, not on an individual peer. Use the sender devcom when
marking the MPV component ready.
This preserves the readiness transition while avoiding a NULL
dereference of the peer devcom pointer during affiliation replay after
PCI error recovery.
