🚨 CVE-2026-72029
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: wwan: iosm: bound device offsets in the MUX downlink decoder

mux_dl_adb_decode() walks a chain of aggregated datagram tables using
offsets and lengths taken from the modem. first_table_index,
next_table_index, table_length, datagram_index and datagram_length are
all device supplied le values. Only first_table_index was checked, and
only for being non zero. The decoder then formed adth = block +
adth_index and read the table header and the datagram entries with no
bound against the received skb. A modem that reports an index or a
length past the downlink buffer makes the decoder read out of bounds.

The buffer is IPC_MEM_MAX_DL_MUX_LITE_BUF_SIZE and skb->len is at most
that, so skb->len is the real limit, but none of these in band offsets
were checked against it.

The table chain is also followed with no forward progress check. The loop
takes the next table from adth->next_table_index and stops only when that
reaches zero. A modem can stage two tables that point at each other, so
the loop never ends. It runs in softirq and clones the skb on every pass.

Validate every device offset and length against skb->len before use.
The block header must fit. Each table header, on entry and after every
next_table_index, must lie inside the skb. The datagram table must fit.
Each datagram index and length must stay inside the skb. The header
padding must not exceed the datagram length so the receive length does
not wrap. Require each next_table_index to move forward so the chain
cannot cycle.

This was reproduced under KASAN as a slab out of bounds read on a normal
downlink receive once the iosm net device is up.

🚨 CVE-2026-72030
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ata: libata-core: Reject an invalid concurrent positioning ranges count

ata_dev_config_cpr() takes the number of range descriptors from buf[0]
of the concurrent positioning ranges log (up to 255), which the device
reports independently of the log size in the GPL directory. The count is
then walked at a fixed 32-byte stride in two places with no bound: the
log read here, and the INQUIRY VPD page B9h emitter, which writes one
descriptor per range into the fixed 2048-byte ata_scsi_rbuf. A device
reporting a count larger than its own log overflows the read buffer (up
to 7704 bytes past a 512-byte slab), and a count above 62 overflows the
response buffer on the emit side.

Bound the count once, on probe, against both the log the device returned
and the number of descriptors the VPD B9h response buffer can hold
(ATA_DEV_MAX_CPR, derived from the rbuf size). Reject an out-of-range
count with a warning; this keeps the emitter in bounds with no separate
change there.

max_performance keeps the link stable across prolonged idle.

Add a NOLPM quirk so link power management is disabled for this drive
specifically, leaving it intact for other devices on the host.

🚨 CVE-2026-72032
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/mlx5: HWS, fix matcher leak on resize target setup failure

hws_bwc_matcher_move() allocates a replacement matcher before setting it
as the resize target. If mlx5hws_matcher_resize_set_target() fails, the
replacement matcher is not attached anywhere and is leaked.

Fix the leak by destroying the replacement matcher before returning from
the resize-target failure 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. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still
present in v7.1.1.

An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have a
mlx5 HWS-capable device to test with, no runtime testing was able to be
performed.

🚨 CVE-2026-72033
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

orangefs: keep the readdir entry size 64-bit in fill_from_part()

fill_from_part() computes the size of a directory entry in size_t but
stores it in a __u32. An entry length near U32_MAX wraps it to a small
value, bypasses the bounds check, and is then used to index the entry,
reading far past the directory part -- an out-of-bounds read that oopses
the kernel.

Compute the size as a u64 so it cannot truncate; the bounds check then
rejects the entry. The trailer is supplied by the userspace client.

🚨 CVE-2026-72034
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fhandle: reject detached mounts in capable_wrt_mount()

The recent fhandle RCU fix moved the mount namespace capability check
into capable_wrt_mount(), so a non-NULL mnt_namespace survives the
ns_capable() dereference. The helper still assumes the later
READ_ONCE(mount->mnt_ns) must be non-NULL because may_decode_fh()
checked is_mounted() first.

That assumption is not stable. A detached mount from
open_tree(..., OPEN_TREE_CLONE) can be dissolved on fput while
open_by_handle_at() is between those checks, and umount_tree() can
clear mount->mnt_ns. If the helper observes NULL, it dereferences
mnt_ns->user_ns and panics.

Return false when the RCU read observes a detached mount. This keeps
the relaxed permission path conservative: a mount no longer attached
to a namespace cannot authorize open_by_handle_at() access.

🚨 CVE-2026-72035
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: sch_taprio: Replace direct dequeue call with peek and qdisc_dequeue_peeked

When taprio's software path peeks a non-work-conserving child qdisc, the
child stashes the peeked skb in its gso_skb; taprio_dequeue_from_txq()
then takes the packet with a direct child ->dequeue() call, which ignores
that stash, orphans the peeked skb and desyncs the child's qlen/backlog.
With a qfq child this re-enters the child on an emptied list and
dereferences NULL, panicking the kernel from softirq on ordinary egress.

Take the packet through qdisc_dequeue_peeked(), as sch_red and sch_sfb
now do. The helper returns the child's stashed skb first and is a no-op
when there is none, so a work-conserving child is unaffected and the
gated path now consumes the skb whose length was charged to the budget.

🚨 CVE-2026-72036
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: sch_multiq: Replace direct dequeue call with peek and qdisc_dequeue_peeked

multiq_dequeue() takes a packet from a band's child with a direct
->dequeue() call after multiq_peek() peeked it. When the child is
non-work-conserving the peek stashes the skb in the child's gso_skb, so
the direct dequeue returns a different skb and orphans the stash,
desyncing the child's qlen/backlog. With a qfq child reached through a
peeking parent (e.g. tbf) this re-enters the child on an emptied list and
dereferences NULL, panicking the kernel from softirq on ordinary egress.

Take the packet through qdisc_dequeue_peeked(), as sch_prio already does
and as sch_red and sch_sfb were just fixed to do. The helper is a no-op
when the child has no stash, so a work-conserving child is unaffected.

🚨 CVE-2026-72037
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: lan743x: Initialize eth_syslock spinlock before use

lan743x_hardware_init() calls pci11x1x_strap_get_status() during the
PCI11x1x probe sequence. That helper acquires the Ethernet subsystem
hardware lock via lan743x_hs_syslock_acquire(), which relies on
adapter->eth_syslock_spinlock to serialize access.

The spinlock is currently initialized only after the strap status is
read. With CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK enabled, taking the zeroed initialized
spinlock can trip the spinlock debug check.

Fix by initializing adapter->eth_syslock_spinlock before reading the
strap status so the probe path never attempts to lock an uninitialized
spinlock.

🚨 CVE-2026-72040
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipmi: fix refcount leak in i_ipmi_request()

When a caller provides a `supplied_recv` message to i_ipmi_request(),
the function increments the user's `nr_msgs` reference count. If an
error occurs later, the out_err cleanup path only frees the recv_msg
if the function allocated it itself (i.e., !supplied_recv). In the
supplied_recv case the cleanup is skipped, leaving the reference count
elevated. The caller ipmi_request_supply_msgs() does not release the
supplied_recv on error, so the reference is permanently leaked.

Fix this by explicitly reverting the reference count operations when a
supplied recv_msg with a valid user pointer is present in the error
path: decrement nr_msgs and drop the user's kref.

🚨 CVE-2026-72042
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipmi: Fix user refcount underflow in event delivery

ipmi_alloc_recv_msg(user) takes the temporary user reference owned by the
receive message, and ipmi_free_recv_msg() drops it again. If event delivery
fails after allocating receive messages for earlier users,
handle_read_event_rsp() rolls those messages back with
ipmi_free_recv_msg().

That rollback path still drops user->refcount explicitly after freeing each
message. The extra put can free a user that remains linked on intf->users,
so later event delivery may dereference a freed user or trip refcount_t's
addition-on-zero warning when ipmi_alloc_recv_msg() tries to acquire
another reference.

Remove the stale explicit put and the now-dead user assignment. Keep the
list_del() and ipmi_free_recv_msg() calls; they are the required rollback
operations.

🚨 CVE-2026-72044
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: fix stack buffer overflow in multichannel session-key copy

Commit 4b706360ffb7 ("ksmbd: fix multichannel binding and enforce channel
limit") moved the binding-path session key out of the session-wide
sess->sess_key (CIFS_KEY_SIZE = 40) into a new per-channel buffer, and
sized both that buffer and the on-stack copy used during binding with
SMB2_NTLMV2_SESSKEY_SIZE (16):

struct channel {
char sess_key[SMB2_NTLMV2_SESSKEY_SIZE]; /* 16 */
...
};

ntlm_authenticate() / krb5_authenticate():
char channel_key[SMB2_NTLMV2_SESSKEY_SIZE] = {}; /* 16 */
char *auth_key = conn->binding ? channel_key : sess->sess_key;

The two writers that fill this destination still bound the copy length
against CIFS_KEY_SIZE (40), not against the 16-byte buffer:

ksmbd_decode_ntlmssp_auth_blob() (NTLM key exchange):
if (sess_key_len > CIFS_KEY_SIZE) /* 40 */
return -EINVAL;
arc4_crypt(ctx_arc4, sess_key,
(char *)authblob + sess_key_off, sess_key_len);

ksmbd_krb5_authenticate():
if (resp->session_key_len > sizeof(sess->sess_key)) /* 40 */
...
memcpy(sess_key, resp->payload, resp->session_key_len);

On a binding SESSION_SETUP, auth_key points at the 16-byte channel_key,
so a client that supplies an NTLM EncryptedRandomSessionKey of up to 40
bytes (with NTLMSSP_NEGOTIATE_KEY_EXCH), or a Kerberos ticket whose
session key is longer than 16 bytes (a normal AES256 key is 32), writes
past the 16-byte stack buffer -- up to a 24-byte kernel stack overflow.
KASAN reports it as a stack-out-of-bounds write in arc4_crypt() called
from ksmbd_decode_ntlmssp_auth_blob().

The destinations must be able to hold the full session key the length
checks already permit. Size the per-channel key buffer and the two
on-stack channel_key buffers with CIFS_KEY_SIZE, matching sess->sess_key.

octeontx2-af: cn10k: restrict VF LMTLINE sharing to its own PF

rvu_mbox_handler_lmtst_tbl_setup() uses req->base_pcifunc as a direct
index into the LMT map table to read another function's LMTLINE
physical base address and copy it into the caller's own LMT map table
entry. The mailbox dispatcher authenticates req->hdr.pcifunc from the
IRQ source, but req->base_pcifunc is a separate payload field and is
not sanitized.

Reject the request with -EPERM when a VF caller's base_pcifunc is not a
valid function under its own PF. is_pf_func_valid() bounds the FUNC field
to the PF's configured VF count, keeping the computed index inside the
caller's own slot block.

🚨 CVE-2026-72046
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

gve: fix header buffer corruption with header-split and HW-GRO

The DQO RX datapath programs a per-buffer-queue-descriptor
header_buf_addr at post time and reads the split header back at
completion time. Both the post and the read currently index the
header buffer by queue position rather than by the buffer's identity:

- post (gve_rx_post_buffers_dqo): header_buf_addr is computed from
bufq->tail
- read (gve_rx_dqo): the header is read from desc_idx (the completion
queue head index)

This relies on the buffer-queue index and the completion-queue index
being equal for the start of every packet, i.e. on the device consuming
posted buffers and returning completions in the exact same order. That
assumption does not hold once HW-GRO is enabled with multiple
flows: coalesced segments are accepted and completed in an order that
may differ from the order buffers were posted, and segments from
different flows may interleave.

That results in two problems:

1. Wrong header slot on read. Because the read offset is derived from
the completion index (desc_idx) while the device wrote the header to
the address programmed for the buffer's buf_id, the driver can copy
a header belonging to a different packet. This shows up as
throughput drop (about 30% drop and large numbers of TCP
retransmissions) with header-split and HW-GRO both enabled and many
streams.

2. Header buffer reused while still owned by the device. The driver
advances bufq->head by one per completion and re-posts buffers based
on that. Arrival of N RX completions only guarantees that at least N
RX buffer descriptors have been read by the device. It does not
guarantee that the device has relinquished the ownership of all the
buffers corresponding to those N descriptors. With out-of-order
completions (e.g. the completion for a packet copied into buffer N
arrives before the completion for a packet copied into buffer N-1),
the driver can re-post and overwrite a header buffer that the device
is still going to write into, corrupting the header of a packet
whose completion has not yet been processed.

Fix both issues by indexing the header buffer by buf_id on both the post
and read paths. Reading from buf_id's slot is therefore always correct
regardless of completion ordering (fixes problem 1).

Indexing by buf_id also ties each header slot to the lifetime of its
buffer state. A buffer state is only returned to the free/recycle lists
when its own completion (buf_id) is processed, so its header slot can
only be re-posted after the device is done with it. This makes header
slot reuse safe under out-of-order completions (fixes problem 2).

Allocate (gve_rx_alloc_hdr_bufs) and free (gve_rx_free_hdr_bufs) the
header buffers based on num_buf_states to match the buf_id indexing.

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

ieee802154: ca8210: fix pointer truncation in kfifo on 64-bit

ca8210_test_int_driver_write() and ca8210_test_int_user_read() exchange
a kmalloc'd buffer pointer through a struct kfifo, but pass a literal
'4' as the byte count to kfifo_in()/kfifo_out().

This is correct on 32-bit (pointer = 4 bytes), but on 64-bit only the
low 4 bytes of the 8-byte pointer are written into the FIFO. The reader
then reads back 4 bytes into an 8-byte local pointer variable, leaving
the upper 4 bytes uninitialized stack data. The first dereference of
the reconstructed pointer (fifo_buffer[1]) accesses an arbitrary kernel
address and generally results in an oops.

Use sizeof(fifo_buffer) so the byte count matches pointer width on every
architecture.

The driver has no architecture restriction in Kconfig, so any 64-bit
build with CONFIG_IEEE802154_CA8210_DEBUGFS=y is exposed. Issue has
been latent since the driver was added in 2017 because it is most
commonly deployed on 32-bit MCUs.

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

ieee802154: ca8210: fix cas_ctl leak on spi_async failure

ca8210_spi_transfer() allocates cas_ctl with kzalloc_obj(GFP_ATOMIC)
and relies entirely on the SPI completion callback
ca8210_spi_transfer_complete() to free it.

The spi_async() API only invokes the completion callback on successful
submission. On failure it returns a negative error code without ever
queuing the callback, which leaves cas_ctl and its embedded spi_message
and spi_transfer orphaned. Every kfree(cas_ctl) in the driver is
inside the completion callback, so there is no other reclamation path.

ca8210_spi_transfer() is called from ca8210_spi_exchange(), the
interrupt handler ca8210_interrupt_handler(), and from the retry path
inside the completion callback itself. The exchange and interrupt
handler paths loop on -EBUSY, so under sustained SPI bus contention
every retry iteration leaks a fresh cas_ctl (~600 bytes per
occurrence).

Fix it by freeing cas_ctl on the spi_async() error path. While here,
correct the misleading error string: the function calls spi_async(),
not spi_sync().

🚨 CVE-2026-72049
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ieee802154: admin-gate legacy LLSEC dump operations

In net/ieee802154/netlink.c, the legacy IEEE802154_NL family ops table
builds the LLSEC dump entries (LLSEC_LIST_KEY, LLSEC_LIST_DEV,
LLSEC_LIST_DEVKEY, LLSEC_LIST_SECLEVEL) with IEEE802154_DUMP() which
sets no .flags, so generic netlink runs them ungated. The modern
nl802154 family admin-gates the equivalent reads via
NL802154_CMD_GET_SEC_KEY and friends with .flags = GENL_ADMIN_PERM.

Any local uid that can open AF_NETLINK / NETLINK_GENERIC can resolve
the "802.15.4 MAC" family and dump LLSEC_LIST_KEY on any wpan netdev
that has an LLSEC key installed; the dump handler writes the raw
16-byte AES-128 key bytes (IEEE802154_ATTR_LLSEC_KEY_BYTES, copied
verbatim from struct ieee802154_llsec_key.key) into the reply.
Recovering the AES key compromises 802.15.4 LLSEC link confidentiality
and authenticity, since LLSEC uses CCM* and the same key authenticates
and encrypts frames.

Impact: any local uid with no capabilities can read the raw 16-byte
AES-128 LLSEC key from the kernel keytable on any wpan netdev that has
an administrator-installed LLSEC key, by issuing an LLSEC_LIST_KEY
dump on the legacy IEEE802154_NL generic-netlink family.

Introduce IEEE802154_DUMP_PRIV() mirroring IEEE802154_DUMP() but
setting .flags = GENL_ADMIN_PERM, and use it for the four LLSEC dump
entries. LIST_PHY and LIST_IFACE retain IEEE802154_DUMP() because the
modern nl802154 family exposes their equivalents to unprivileged
readers by design (NL802154_CMD_GET_WPAN_PHY and
NL802154_CMD_GET_INTERFACE carry "can be retrieved by unprivileged
users" annotations).
