🚨 CVE-2026-68461
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
device property: initialize the remaining fields of fwnode_handle in fwnode_init()
If a firmware node is allocated on the stack (for instance: temporary
software node whose life-time we control) or on the heap - but using a
non-zeroing allocation function - and initialized using fwnode_init(),
its secondary pointer will contain uninitialized memory which likely
will be neither NULL nor IS_ERR() and so may end up being dereferenced
(for example: in dev_to_swnode()). Set fwnode->secondary to NULL on
initialization. While at it: initialize the remaining fields of struct
fwnode_handle too just to be sure.

🚨 CVE-2026-68462
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Reject negative const offsets for buffer pointers
The verifier rejects variable offsets for PTR_TO_TP_BUFFER and PTR_TO_BUF
accesses, but it currently accepts a constant negative offset produced by
pointer arithmetic.
Commit 022ac0750883 ("bpf: use reg->var_off instead of reg->off for
pointers") moved constant pointer offsets from reg->off to reg->var_off.
However, __check_buffer_access() continued to check only the instruction
offset. An access with reg->var_off equal to -8 and an instruction offset
of zero therefore passes verification.
For writable raw tracepoints, the access end is also calculated from the
unsigned reg->var_off.value. An eight-byte access starting at -8 wraps
the calculated end to zero, allowing the program to load and attach
without increasing max_tp_access.
After ensuring that reg->var_off is constant, calculate the effective
access start using signed arithmetic and reject it when it is negative.
Use the validated start to calculate the access end for both
PTR_TO_TP_BUFFER and PTR_TO_BUF.

drops the usage counter on failure, avoiding the need for a separate
pm_runtime_put_noidle() call. If it fails, the device is unclocked and

🚨 CVE-2026-68464
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: sdhci-esdhc-imx: disable irq during suspend to fix unhandled interrupt
When using WIFI out-of-band wakeup, an "irq xxx: nobody cared" warning
occurs. This happens because the usdhc interrupt is not disabled during
system suspend when device_may_wakeup() returns false.
The sequence of events leading to this issue:
1. System enters suspend without disabling usdhc interrupt
(because device_may_wakeup() returns false for usdhc device)
2. WIFI out-of-band wakeup triggers system resume via GPIO interrupt
3. WIFI sends a Card interrupt before usdhc has fully resumed
4. usdhc is still in runtime suspend state and cannot handle the
interrupt properly
5. The unhandled interrupt triggers "nobody cared" warning
Fix this by unconditionally disabling the usdhc interrupt during suspend
and re-enabling it during resume, regardless of the wakeup capability.
This ensures no interrupts are processed during the suspend/resume
transition.

esdhc_change_pinstate() checks for pins_100mhz and pins_200mhz at the

prevents the default case from ever being reached, which means devices
with a sleep pinctrl state but without high-speed pin states (100mhz/

Move the IS_ERR checks for pins_100mhz and pins_200mhz into their

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: mchp23k256: use SPI match data for chip caps
The driver stores chip capacity information in both the OF match table
and the SPI id table. Probe currently uses of_device_get_match_data(),
so a non-OF SPI modalias match falls back to mchp23k256_caps even when
the SPI id table selected a different part.
Use spi_get_device_match_data() so SPI id-table driver_data is consumed
when OF match data is absent. This keeps the existing default fallback
while avoiding the wrong MTD geometry for id-table-only matches.

🚨 CVE-2026-68469
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mwifiex: fix permanently busy scans after multiple roam iterations
In order for the firmware to sleep, the driver has to confirm a
previously received sleep request. The normal sequence of evets goes
like this:
EVENT_SLEEP -> adapter->ps_state = PS_STATE_PRE_SLEEP -> sleep-confirm
-> SLEEP -> EVENT_AWAKE -> AWAKE.
Before sending the sleep-confirm command, the driver must make sure
there are no commands either running or waiting to be completed.
mwifiex_ret_802_11_associate() unconditionally sets
ps_state = PS_STATE_AWAKE when it processes the association command
response, outside of the normal powersave management flow. If
EVENT_SLEEP arrives while the association command is in flight,
ps_state is PRE_SLEEP when the association command response is parsed,
and the forced AWAKE overwrites it. The deferred sleep-confirm is
never sent.
A subsequent scan_start command is correctly acknowledged, but the
firmware doesn't generate scan_result events. The scan request never
finishes, and additional requests from userspace fail with -EBUSY.
After testing on both IW412 and W8997, I could only trigger the bug on
the IW412 and observed the firmwares behave differently. On the IW412
the firmware still sends EVENT_SLEEP while the authentication /
association process is ongoing. A W8997 under the same
conditions seems to suppress power-save for the duration of the
association, so PRE_SLEEP never coincided with the association response
even after extended periods of testing using the loops
described below (>12hours).
On the IW412, the delay between commands that triggers an EVENT_SLEEP
was empirically determined to be ~20ms. This delay can naturally occur
when the driver is outputting debugging information
(debug_mask = 0x00000037), in which situation the busy scans issue is
repeatable while running "test 1)" as described below. If the delay
between commands is less than ~20ms, the firmware stays awake and
the issue was not reproducible running the same test.
The host_mlme=false path also behaves differently. In this case, the
entire authentication / association transaction is executed by one
command (HostCmd_CMD_802_11_ASSOCIATE), and the firmware doesn't emit
EVENT_SLEEP while the command is running.
Remove the assignment so the ps_state is only manipulated in the paths
that are related to powersave event handling and on the main workqueue
for correct sleep confirmation.
The following loop tests were performed (with debugging output enabled):
1) force roaming between two AP's, one 5GHz and one 2.4GHz, same
SSID. Use wpa_cli to trigger the roaming behavior, sleep 2s
between iterations.
2) force a disconnection to AP 1 and a connection to AP 2, test
scan. Use wpa_cli to trigger the connection changes, sleep 2s
between iterations.
Each test ran in each device for at least 3 hours.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mwifiex: fix permanently busy scans after multiple roam iterations
In order for the firmware to sleep, the driver has to confirm a
previously received sleep request. The normal sequence of evets goes
like this:
EVENT_SLEEP -> adapter->ps_state = PS_STATE_PRE_SLEEP -> sleep-confirm
-> SLEEP -> EVENT_AWAKE -> AWAKE.
Before sending the sleep-confirm command, the driver must make sure
there are no commands either running or waiting to be completed.
mwifiex_ret_802_11_associate() unconditionally sets
ps_state = PS_STATE_AWAKE when it processes the association command
response, outside of the normal powersave management flow. If
EVENT_SLEEP arrives while the association command is in flight,
ps_state is PRE_SLEEP when the association command response is parsed,
and the forced AWAKE overwrites it. The deferred sleep-confirm is
never sent.
A subsequent scan_start command is correctly acknowledged, but the
firmware doesn't generate scan_result events. The scan request never
finishes, and additional requests from userspace fail with -EBUSY.
After testing on both IW412 and W8997, I could only trigger the bug on
the IW412 and observed the firmwares behave differently. On the IW412
the firmware still sends EVENT_SLEEP while the authentication /
association process is ongoing. A W8997 under the same
conditions seems to suppress power-save for the duration of the
association, so PRE_SLEEP never coincided with the association response
even after extended periods of testing using the loops
described below (>12hours).
On the IW412, the delay between commands that triggers an EVENT_SLEEP
was empirically determined to be ~20ms. This delay can naturally occur
when the driver is outputting debugging information
(debug_mask = 0x00000037), in which situation the busy scans issue is
repeatable while running "test 1)" as described below. If the delay
between commands is less than ~20ms, the firmware stays awake and
the issue was not reproducible running the same test.
The host_mlme=false path also behaves differently. In this case, the
entire authentication / association transaction is executed by one
command (HostCmd_CMD_802_11_ASSOCIATE), and the firmware doesn't emit
EVENT_SLEEP while the command is running.
Remove the assignment so the ps_state is only manipulated in the paths

🚨 CVE-2026-68471
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ieee80211: validate MLE common info length
ieee80211_mle_common_size() uses the first common-info octet as the
common information length for all known MLE types. However,
ieee80211_mle_size_ok() only validates that octet for Basic, Probe
Request, and TDLS MLEs.
Reconfiguration MLEs also skipped the length octet when calculating the
minimum common size, and Priority Access MLEs skipped validation of the
advertised common information length.
Account for the Reconfiguration common-info length octet and validate
the advertised common information length for all known MLE types. Keep
unknown-type handling unchanged.

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

cfg80211_gen_new_ie() copies ML probe response elements from
the parent frame when the parent EHT multi-link element has an
MLD ID matching the nontransmitted BSSID index.
The code only checked that the extension element had more than
one byte before calling ieee80211_mle_get_mld_id(). That helper
assumes a BASIC MLE with enough common info and documents that
callers must first use ieee80211_mle_type_ok().
Attack chain:
malicious AP sends a short EHT MLE in an MBSSID beacon.
cfg80211_inform_bss_frame_data() stores the copied IE buffer.
cfg80211_parse_mbssid_data() builds the nontransmitted BSS IE.
cfg80211_gen_new_ie() sees the EHT MLE in the parent frame.
ieee80211_mle_get_mld_id() then reads past the IE boundary.
Validate the MLE type and size before reading the MLD ID. This
matches the contract required by the MLE helper and rejects the
short element before any internal MLE fields are accessed.

msb_ftl_initialize() computes the zone count from the card block count

...
for (i = 0; i < msb->zone_count; i++)
msb->free_block_count[i] = MS_BLOCKS_IN_ZONE;
msb->block_count is a card value. msb_read_boot_blocks() reads
number_of_blocks from the card boot page and byte swaps it.
free_block_count is a fixed int[MS_MAX_ZONES]. MS_MAX_ZONES is 16, so the
valid indices are 0 to 15. The init loop above indexes it by zone_count.
msb_mark_block_used() and msb_mark_block_unused() index it by
pba / MS_BLOCKS_IN_ZONE, for pba up to block_count - 1. A card may report
up to 65535 blocks. A block_count above 8192 (MS_MAX_ZONES *
MS_BLOCKS_IN_ZONE) lets the pba index reach 16. That writes past
free_block_count[] and corrupts struct msb_data. A larger count runs the
init loop past the end too.
A real Memory Stick has at most 16 zones. So it has at most 8192 blocks.
