🚨 CVE-2026-68457
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ksmbd: use opener credentials for FSCTL mutations

SET_SPARSE, SET_ZERO_DATA and SET_COMPRESSION operate on an open SMB
handle but call VFS xattr, fallocate or fileattr helpers with the current
ksmbd worker credentials. Those helpers can revalidate inode permissions,
ownership and LSM policy independently of the SMB handle access mask.

Run each operation with the credentials captured in the target file when
the handle was opened. Keep credential handling local to these single-file
FSCTLs rather than applying session credentials to the complete IOCTL
handler, which also contains handle-less and multi-handle operations.

🚨 CVE-2026-72025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

s390/monwriter: Reject buffer reuse with different data length

When data buffers are reused, e.g. for interval sample records, the
first record determines the data length, and the size of the buffer for
user copy. Current monwriter code does not check if the data length was
changed for subsequent records, which also would never happen for valid
user programs.

However, a malicious user could change the data length, resulting in out
of bounds user copy to the kernel buffer, and memory corruption. By
default, the monwriter misc device is created with root-only permissions,
so practical impact is typically low.

Fix this by checking for changed data length and rejecting such records.

ata: libata-core: Add NOLPM quirk for PNY CS900 1TB SSD

The PNY CS900 1TB SSD (Phison PS3111-S11, DRAM-less) drops off the bus
after entering Device-Initiated Slumber during idle. With the default
med_power_with_dipm policy the link goes down (SStatus 1 SControl 300)
and does not recover, forcing the filesystem read-only. Forcing
max_performance keeps the link stable across prolonged idle.

Add a NOLPM quirk so link power management is disabled for this drive

🚨 CVE-2026-72150
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sunrpc: fix uninitialized xprt_create_args structure

The xprt_create_args structure is allocated on the stack without
initialization in rpc_sysfs_xprt_switch_add_xprt_store(). While some
fields are manually populated, critical fields like srcaddr, bc_xps,
and flags contain uninitialized stack garbage.

This can lead to:
1. Kernel panic when xs_setup_xprt() dereferences garbage srcaddr
2. Information leak if srcaddr points to sensitive stack data
3. Unpredictable behavior if flags has random bits set

The fix is to zero-initialize the structure to ensure all unused
fields are NULL/0, preventing the transport setup code from acting
on garbage data.

🚨 CVE-2026-72162
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ocfs2: fix UBSAN array-index-out-of-bounds in ocfs2_sum_rightmost_rec

[BUG]
On-disk corruption setting l_next_free_rec to 0 in an inode's embedded
extent list triggers a UBSAN panic on the next write to that file.

[CAUSE]
ocfs2_sum_rightmost_rec() computes
i = le16_to_cpu(el->l_next_free_rec) - 1
and accesses el->l_recs[i] without validating i. When l_next_free_rec
is 0, i becomes -1; when l_next_free_rec exceeds l_count, i falls
past the end of the array. Either case violates the
__counted_by_le(l_count) annotation on l_recs[] and triggers UBSAN.

[FIX]
Validate the inode's embedded extent list when the inode is read, in
ocfs2_validate_inode_block(): l_count must be non-zero and no larger
than the inode block can hold, and l_next_free_rec must not exceed
l_count. A corrupt list is rejected at read time, before the b-tree
code can index l_recs[] out of bounds.

🚨 CVE-2026-72198
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ntfs: reject non-resident records for resident-only attributes

The shared lookup-time attribute validator rejects non-resident
$FILE_NAME and $VOLUME_NAME records because their formats require
resident values and callers handle returned records as resident
attributes. Other resident-only attribute types still pass through the
generic non-resident mapping-pairs checks.

That leaves real resident/non-resident union confusion paths. Inode load
looks up $STANDARD_INFORMATION and then reads data.resident.value_offset
without checking a->non_resident. ntfs_inode_sync_standard_information()
does the same when updating the standard information value.
ntfs_write_volume_flags() also looks up $VOLUME_INFORMATION and reads
data.resident.value_offset directly. $INDEX_ROOT callers in dir.c and
index.c depend on the same lookup contract before consuming the resident
index root value.

Reject non-resident records for all resident-only attribute types in the
shared validator. Keep the existing $FILE_NAME and $VOLUME_NAME behavior,
but factor it through a helper and extend it to
$STANDARD_INFORMATION, $OBJECT_ID, $VOLUME_INFORMATION, $INDEX_ROOT, and
$EA_INFORMATION. For $OBJECT_ID and $EA_INFORMATION this is contract
hardening for resident-only formats; this patch only rejects the
non-resident form and does not add new resident value validation for
those types.

🎖@cveNotify

🚨 CVE-2026-72199
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ntfs: validate resident index root values on lookup

Resident $INDEX_ROOT values carry index header fields that callers
consume after lookup. Some callers already validate parts of the layout
before walking entries, but those checks are scattered and do not cover
all root header invariants, such as entries_offset alignment and lower
bound, index_length, and allocated_size consistency.

The resident root resize paths now keep these header fields consistent
while the value size changes: ntfs_ir_truncate() lowers
index.allocated_size before shrinking the resident value, and
ntfs_ir_reparent() grows the resident value before publishing a larger
root header. Lookup-time validation can therefore cover these invariants
without tripping over the driver's own resize paths.

Add $INDEX_ROOT to the minimum resident value size table and validate the
resident index header fields before returning the attribute from lookup.
Require 8-byte aligned index header fields, a sane entries_offset, an
index_length within allocated_size, allocated_size within the resident
value, and enough entry space for at least an index entry header.

The shared validator already rejects non-resident records for
resident-only attribute types, including $INDEX_ROOT.

🚨 CVE-2026-72200
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ntfs: detect mapping-pairs LCN accumulator overflow

The NTFS mapping-pairs parser accumulates relative LCN deltas in a
signed integer. A corrupted attribute can drive that addition past
the representable range.

One corrupt runlist shape sets the accumulated LCN to S64_MAX and
then adds a delta of 1 in the next mapping-pairs entry.

Signed overflow is undefined and can turn an invalid runlist into a
different set of physical clusters.

Check the LCN addition for overflow before storing the next run.

🚨 CVE-2026-72201
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ntfs: validate index entries on reading

Validate index entries immediately after reading an index root or index
block from disk. This eliminates repeated checks in lookup and readdir,
and reduce the risk of missing checks in those paths.

🎖@cveNotify

🚨 CVE-2026-72202
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ntfs: avoid heap allocation for free-cluster readahead state

get_nr_free_clusters() allocates a temporary file_ra_state before it
publishes the precomputed free cluster count, sets NVolFreeClusterKnown(),
and wakes vol->free_waitq. If that allocation fails, the worker returns
without setting the flag or waking waiters, so callers waiting for the free
count can block indefinitely.

The readahead state is only used synchronously while scanning the bitmap.
Keep it on the stack and pass it by address to the readahead helper. This
eliminates the early allocation failure path instead of adding a special
case that publishes a conservative count and wakes the waitqueue.
Zero-initialize the on-stack state because file_ra_state_init() only sets
ra_pages and prev_pos.

Apply the same treatment to __get_nr_free_mft_records(), which scans the
MFT bitmap with the same short-lived readahead state.

🚨 CVE-2026-72203
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ntfs: skip extent mft records in writeback to prevent deadlock

This patch fixes the ABBA deadlock between extent_lock and extent
mrec_lock triggered by xfstests generic/113, that occurs since the commit
6994acf33bae ("ntfs: use base mft_no when looking up base inode for
extent record").

Path A (inode writeback):
VFS writeback
-> ntfs_write_inode()
-> __ntfs_write_inode()
-> mutex_lock(&ni->extent_lock)
-> mutex_lock(&tni->mrec_lock)

Path B (MFT folio writeback):
VFS writeback of $MFT dirty folios
-> ntfs_mft_writepages()
-> ntfs_write_mft_block()
-> ntfs_may_write_mft_record()
-> holds one extent mrec_lock from a previous iteration
-> tries to acquire another base inode extent_lock

By removing all extent_lock and extent mrec_lock acquisition from the MFT
folio writeback path, the ABBA lock ordering is eliminated:

Path A: __ntfs_write_inode(): extent_lock -> mrec_lock
Path B (removed): ntfs_write_mft_block(): mrec_lock -> extent_lock

Path B is always redundant for extent records because:

1. mark_mft_record_dirty(ext_ni) does NOT dirty the MFT folio.
It only sets NInoDirty(ext_ni) and marks the base VFS inode dirty
via __mark_inode_dirty(I_DIRTY_DATASYNC), which triggers Path A.
Therefore, normal extent modifications never create a situation where
the MFT folio is dirty and Path B is not scheduled.

2. The MFT folio only gets dirtied via ntfs_mft_mark_dirty() inside
ntfs_mft_record_alloc(). But all identified callers in attrib.c
(ntfs_attr_add, ntfs_attr_record_move_away,
ntfs_attr_make_non_resident, ntfs_attr_record_resize) follow through
with mark_mft_record_dirty(), which triggers Path A to write the
complete record.

3. ntfs_evict_big_inode() calls ntfs_commit_inode() before freeing extent
inodes, ensuring all dirty extents are flushed via Path A before the
base inode leaves the icache.

🚨 CVE-2026-72205
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ntfs: free volume-wide resources on fill_super failure

ntfs_fill_super()'s err_out_now path frees only the volume struct via
kfree(vol), leaving several vol-owned allocations behind on every mount
failure:

- vol->nls_map, loaded by ntfs_init_fs_context() via
load_nls_default() (or replaced by an explicit nls= option in
ntfs_parse_param()), is never unload_nls()'d.

- vol->volume_label, allocated by load_system_files() through
ntfs_ucstonls() once the $Volume name attribute has been parsed, is
not released by load_system_files()'s own error labels nor by the
fill_super() inline cleanup that only runs on d_make_root()
failure. Any later failure inside load_system_files() leaks it.

- vol->lcn_empty_bits_per_page was kvfree()'d in
unl_upcase_iput_tmp_ino_err_out_now without clearing the pointer,
so it could not be folded into a single common cleanup.

Because the failure paths never call ntfs_volume_free() and never reach
the d_make_root() inline cleanup block (it sits above the label and is
jumped over by the load_system_files() / kvmalloc failure gotos), these
resources accumulate per failed mount attempt with no chance of
recovery short of unloading the module. This is a silent leak: the
inodes loaded prior to failure remain hashed but generic_shutdown_super()
skips evict_inodes() when sb->s_root is unset, so no CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION
warning is emitted either.

Move the per-volume frees down to err_out_now and drop the
lcn_empty_bits_per_page kvfree() from the upper label so the cleanup is
performed exactly once on every failure path. Using unconditional
kvfree() / kfree() / unload_nls() is safe because they all accept NULL
and the upper labels that previously freed nls_map (the d_make_root()
inline cleanup) already clear the pointer.

🚨 CVE-2026-72210
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ntfs: fix off-by-one in mapping pairs decoding bounds checks

In ntfs_mapping_pairs_decompress(), attr_end points one byte past the
end of the attribute record:

attr_end = (u8 *)attr + le32_to_cpu(attr->length);

The two bounds checks validating that mapping pair data bytes fit within
the attribute use strict greater-than (>), which allows a one-byte
out-of-bounds read when the data extends exactly to attr_end:

b = *buf & 0xf;
if (b) {
if (unlikely(buf + b > attr_end)) // off-by-one
goto io_error;
for (deltaxcn = (s8)buf[b--]; b; b--)
deltaxcn = (deltaxcn << 8) + buf[b];
}

When buf + b == attr_end, the check evaluates to false and buf[b] reads
one byte past the valid attribute boundary. The same pattern appears in
the LCN delta bytes check.

Fix both checks to use >= so that buf[b] at exactly attr_end is
correctly rejected as out of bounds.

🎖@cveNotify

🚨 CVE-2026-72211
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ntfs: grow index root value before reparent header update

ntfs_ir_reparent() moves the resident index root entries into an index
block and leaves a small root stub containing the child VCN. That root
stub can be larger than the existing resident value. For example, an
empty root with value_length 48 has an index area of 32 bytes, while the
large-index root stub needs index_length and allocated_size of 40 bytes.

The current code publishes the larger index.index_length and
index.allocated_size before resizing the resident value. If the resize
returns -ENOSPC, the recovery path can call ntfs_inode_add_attrlist(),
which looks attributes up again while the root header says
allocated_size 40 but the resident value still only provides 32 bytes of
index area. Lookup-time $INDEX_ROOT validation then correctly rejects
that transient layout as corrupt.

This reproduces as a generic/013 failure under qemu. In the failing run,
the transient root had value_len=48, index_size=32, index_length=40, and
allocated_size=40, and ntfsprogs-plus ntfsck reported "Corrupt index
root in MFT record 1177".

When the root stub grows, resize the resident value before publishing the
larger root header. If the resize fails, the old root remains valid for
recovery lookups. Keep the existing header-before-resize ordering for
shrink or same-size cases so the resident value never temporarily
exposes an allocated_size beyond its bounds.

🚨 CVE-2026-74424
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

fbcon: fix NULL pointer dereference for a console without vc_data

fbcon_new_modelist() runs when a framebuffer's modelist changes. For each
console mapped to it with fb_display[i].mode set, it reads vc_cons[i].d and
passes the vc_num to fbcon_set_disp(). This assumes a console with a mode
set has a vc_data, but it can be NULL. fbcon_set_disp() sets
fb_display[i].mode before it checks vc_data, and fbcon_deinit() leaves the
mode set after the vc_data is freed. fbcon_new_modelist() then dereferences
the NULL vc_data.

Keep fb_display[i].mode set only while the console has a vc_data. Check
vc_data before setting the mode in fbcon_set_disp(), and clear the mode in
fbcon_deinit(). The existing mode check in fbcon_new_modelist() then skips
such consoles.
