🚨 CVE-2026-74638
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/v3d: Serialize the scheduler timeout handlers
V3D exposes several independent hardware queues (BIN, RENDER, TFU and
CSD) but has only a single, global reset. A timeout on any one queue
therefore has to stop, reset and restart the schedulers of every other
queue as well. That makes concurrent timeout handlers unsafe.
`reset_lock` was never able to make them safe, as a driver-side lock can
only cover the driver's &drm_sched_backend_ops.timedout_job callback.
The scheduler handles the timed out job and its pending list around that
callback, outside of the driver's control, so a global reset triggered
by one queue can still interfere with another queue that is in the
middle of handling a timeout of its own.
Consequently, if a reset happens in the CSD queue while a CL-intensive
application is running, the global reset stops and restarts the CL
queue's scheduler while that queue is handling a timeout of its own. As
drm_sched_stop() and drm_sched_start() subtract and add the credits of
every job sitting on the pending list of the scheduler they are called
on, and as the CL queue's handler concurrently takes its job off that
same list and puts it back, the stop and the start no longer see the
same set of jobs. The CL queue is left with more credits in flight than
its limit:

queues its timeout work on the system workqueue, which runs the handlers
concurrently. Give all of the queues a shared ordered workqueue instead,
as recommended by the DRM scheduler documentation for hardware that has
distinct queues but resets globally.

🚨 CVE-2026-74640
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: FCP: fix OOB write in fcp_meter_ctl_get()
fcp_ioctl_set_meter_map() bounds the user-supplied Level Meter map size
by the driver's own limit of 255
if (map.map_size < 1 || map.map_size > 255 ||
map.meter_slots < 1 || map.meter_slots > 255)
return -EINVAL;
and passes it to fcp_add_new_ctl() as the control's channel count, where
it is stored as elem->channels.
Every control read writes into struct snd_ctl_elem_value, whose integer
array is declared long value[128], so the limit is 128, not 255.
fcp_meter_ctl_get() stores one 64-bit word per channel into that array
with no bound of its own:
for (i = 0; i < elem->channels; i++) {
int idx = private->meter_level_map[i];
int value = idx < 0 ? 0 : le32_to_cpu(resp[idx]);
ucontrol->value.integer.value[i] = value;
}
snd_ctl_elem_read_user() serves that object from
memdup_user(_control, sizeof(*control)), 1224 bytes on LP64 out of
kmalloc-2048. offsetof(struct snd_ctl_elem_value, value) is 72, so
element i is written at byte 72 + 8 * i and element 144 already lands
past the allocation. At map_size 255 the last store ends at byte 2112,
888 bytes past the object and 64 bytes into the adjacent slab object.
The stored words come from the device and meter_level_map[] selects
which word lands in which slot, so extent and contents are both
controlled.
The core does not catch this. snd_ctl_check_elem_info() is reached only
from __snd_ctl_elem_info(), which snd_ctl_elem_read() calls under
CONFIG_SND_CTL_DEBUG; without that option snd_ctl_skip_validation() is a
compile-time true. __snd_ctl_add_replace() validates kcontrol->count and
never inspects elem->channels.
Installing an oversized map needs CAP_SYS_RAWIO, but the control outlives
the hwdep descriptor that created it, so the out-of-bounds stores are
issued by any process able to read controls on /dev/snd/controlC0.

🚨 CVE-2026-74641
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usx2y: bound the hwdep mmap fault offset
snd_us428ctls_vm_fault() turns the faulting page offset into a kernel
address with no bound of any kind:
offset = vmf->pgoff << PAGE_SHIFT;
vaddr = (char *)(...)->us428ctls_sharedmem + offset;
page = virt_to_page(vaddr);
get_page(page);
vmf->page = page;

snd_us428ctls_mmap() checks only the length of the mapping, never the
offset, and us428ctls_sharedmem is a single page from
alloc_pages_exact(). For a character device file_mmap_size_max()
returns ULONG_MAX, so the mm layer imposes no ceiling either. Every page
offset above zero resolves to a struct page outside the object, and the
handler installs it into the caller's address space read-write; the vma
is not marked read-only.
The caller picks the page frame with a single mmap() argument and gets
read-write access to a page of kernel memory it does not own; an offset
that lands in an unpopulated vmemmap region oopses instead.
A process that can open the hwdep node of an attached US-X2Y reaches
this after loading the FPGA image through the same node; no capability
check is involved.

🚨 CVE-2026-74647
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: fastrpc: Remove buffer from list prior to unmap operation
fastrpc_req_munmap_impl() is called to unmap any buffer. The buffer is
getting removed from the list after it is unmapped from DSP. This can
create potential race conditions if multiple threads invoke unmap
concurrently, where one thread may remove the entry from the list while
another thread's unmap operation is still ongoing.
Fix this by removing the buffer entry from the list before calling the
unmap operation. If the unmap fails, the entry is re-added to the list
so that userspace can retry the unmap, or alternatively, the buffer
will be cleaned up during device release when the DSP process is torn
down and all DSP-side mappings are freed along with remaining buffers
in the list.

of an overflow, the driver can write out of bounds. In the case of an

🚨 CVE-2026-74651
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix OOB read in rtw_get_wpa_ie()
rtw_get_wpa_ie() reads bytes at fixed offsets into a vendor-specific
information element without checking that the element is long enough,
causing an out-of-bounds read for a short trailing IE.
The function locates a vendor-specific IE (EID 221) with rtw_get_ie()
and then compares a 4-byte OUI+type at pbuf + 2 and reads a 2-byte
version word at pbuf + 6. Those accesses require the IE body to be at
least 6 bytes, but rtw_get_ie() only guarantees that the element fits
within the buffer; it does not enforce a minimum body length. A
vendor-specific IE whose length byte is 0 to 5, placed at the end of
the buffer, therefore makes these reads run past the end of the IE and
past the end of the buffer itself.
The buffer holds information elements taken from received management
frames and from the IE blob passed to rtw_cfg80211_set_wpa_ie(), which
is kmemdup'd to its exact length, so the read can run off the end of
the allocation.
The sibling helpers rtw_get_sec_ie(), rtw_get_wapi_ie() and
rtw_get_wps_ie() in this file already reject too-short vendor-specific
IEs before their OUI memcmp(); rtw_get_wpa_ie() was never brought in
line with them, and needs a minimum of 6 rather than 4 bytes because
of the version word. Add the missing length check.

🚨 CVE-2026-74653
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: 8250_of: clear stuck empty-FIFO RX-timeout on LPC32xx
The NXP LPC32xx UART (PORT_LPC3220) can latch an RX character-timeout
interrupt while the RX FIFO is empty: IIR reports UART_IIR_RX_TIMEOUT
(0x0c) but LSR.DR is clear. A character timeout is only cleared by
reading RHR, but serial8250_rx_chars() reads RHR only when LSR.DR is
set, so nothing ever clears the condition. The interrupt is
level-triggered and re-fires immediately, so on a single-core ARM926
the resulting interrupt storm livelocks the CPU.
It is reproducible when userspace repeatedly opens the front-panel port
(ttyS1): serial8250_do_set_termios() re-enables interrupts on unlock and
the handler then spins forever with iir=0xcc lsr=0x60 ier=0x05, tripping
the soft-lockup detector in serial8250_handle_irq_locked().
LPC32xx has no dedicated 8250 glue driver, it's driven by the generic

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: 8250_of: clear stuck empty-FIFO RX-timeout on LPC32xx
The NXP LPC32xx UART (PORT_LPC3220) can latch an RX character-timeout
interrupt while the RX FIFO is empty: IIR reports UART_IIR_RX_TIMEOUT
(0x0c) but LSR.DR is clear. A character timeout is only cleared by
reading RHR, but serial8250_rx_chars() reads RHR only when LSR.DR is
set, so nothing ever clears the condition. The interrupt is
level-triggered and re-fires immediately, so on a single-core ARM926
the resulting interrupt storm livelocks the CPU.
It is reproducible when userspace repeatedly opens the front-panel port
(ttyS1): serial8250_do_set_termios() re-enables interrupts on unlock and
the handler then spins forever with iir=0xcc lsr=0x60 ier=0x05, tripping
the soft-lockup detector in serial8250_handle_irq_locked().
LPC32xx has no dedicated 8250 glue driver, it's driven by the generic
8250_of. Add a hardware specific handle_irq for PORT_LPC3220, wired up
in of_platform_serial_setup() the same way fsl8250_handle_irq is

🚨 CVE-2026-74656
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: fix use-after-free in fib_nhc_update_mtu()
fib_nhc_update_mtu() walks the nexthop exception table under RTNL, but
RTNL does not serialize this walk with PMTU exception updates. The walk
uses rcu_dereference_protected() with a constant true condition without
holding fnhe_lock.
The following interleaving can therefore occur:
CPU 0 CPU 1
fib_nhc_update_mtu() update_or_create_fnhe()
load fnhe spin_lock_bh(&fnhe_lock)
fnhe_remove_oldest()
unlink fnhe

Publish the queue first and arm the timer while holding the queue lock.
This makes timer expiry wait until the queue is visible in the hash table,

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix skb length accounting after generic XDP frag adjustment
Generic XDP exposes non-linear skb fragments through an xdp_buff. If an
XDP program adjusts the fragment area, bpf_prog_run_generic_xdp() copies
xdp_frags_size back to skb->data_len but leaves skb->len containing the
old fragment contribution.
After a fragment shrink, this makes skb_headlen() larger than the actual
linear area. In the reproduced UDP receive path, __skb_datagram_iter()
copied 1024 bytes past the actual linear tail to userspace, starting at
struct skb_shared_info. The copied bytes included the affected skb's
nr_frags, xdp_frags_size and a kernel pointer from
skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[0]. Real packet data was displaced by the same
amount and truncated at the end.
Subtract the old data_len before replacing it and add the new data_len
afterwards, keeping skb->len and skb->data_len synchronized.
A 60000-byte UDP datagram on a veth pair with MTU 64000 was shortened by
1024 bytes from its fragment area. Before the fix, all 10 runs produced

For frames sent via __dev_queue_xmit() this is harmless: it resets the

packet_parse_headers() runs only on the transmit path, where skb->data
points at the start of the L2 header for every packet-socket type
regardless of its length: SOCK_RAW and SOCK_PACKET carry a user-supplied
