🚨 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-2026-74652
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

serial: amba-pl011: cancel RS485 hrtimers after freeing IRQ

The RS485 trigger hrtimers are embedded in the devm-managed port and can
fire after it is freed. The IRQ handler can arm a timer, so free the IRQ
first and then cancel both timers.

Complete the RS485 stop without arming a timer, and cancel the timers
in remove() for the suspend-then-unbind path, where shutdown is not
called.

This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

🚨 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
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
installed. The handler follows dw8250_handle_irq(): on an RX timeout
with an empty FIFO (LSR.DR and LSR.BI clear) it does one throwaway RHR
read to clear the condition, then calls serial8250_handle_irq_locked().
No real received data is ever discarded, and it is a no-op on healthy
UARTs which never report a timeout with DR clear.

This is the same class of bug already worked around in other 8250 drivers;
see commit 424d79183af0 ("serial: 8250_dw: Avoid "too much work" from bogus rx timeout interrupt")
which reports the identical iir=0xcc/lsr=0x60. See also
UART_RX_TIMEOUT_QUIRK in 8250_omap, and the note in 8250_bcm7271.

🚨 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
kfree_rcu(fnhe, rcu)

The same walk updates fnhe_pmtu and fnhe_mtu_locked. These fields form a
pair and other writers serialize them with fnhe_lock. RCU alone prevents
reclamation, but would still allow concurrent writers to leave a mixed
pair.

Walk the table under RCU and acquire fnhe_lock only while updating each
exception. RCU keeps the current entry alive while the short critical
section serializes its paired PMTU fields. This avoids holding the global
lock while scanning all 2048 buckets for every nexthop.

🚨 CVE-2026-74660
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: ebt_nflog: pin the NFLOG backend

nf_log_unregister() runs after the per-net teardown so its final RCU
grace period also drains readers that obtained the logger from a per-net
binding. However, ebt_nflog passes an explicit ULOG log type to
nf_log_packet() without holding a reference on the selected logger module,
unlike the xt_NFLOG and nft_log frontends.

An ebtables nflog rule can therefore remain callable while nfnetlink_log
is unloaded. The resulting interleaving is:

CPU 0 CPU 1
nfnetlink_log_fini()
unregister_pernet_subsys()
kfree(nfnl_log_pernet(net))
ebt_nflog_tg()
nf_log_packet()

The global ULOG logger is still registered at this point, so CPU 1
dereferences the per-net state after CPU 0 has freed it. KASAN reported:

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

mac802154: fix netdev use-after-free in beacon worker

mac802154_beacon_worker() reads local->beacon_req under RCU and derives
the sub-interface from the request, but then drops the RCU read lock and
continues to use both sdata and the embedded wpan_dev.

mac802154_stop_beacons_locked() cancels only pending beacon work, clears
local->beacon_req and frees the request. A beacon worker that is already
running can therefore continue after interface teardown and dereference
the freed netdev private area.

The scan worker already pins the netdev before leaving RCU. Apply the
same lifetime rule to the beacon worker: take a netdev reference while
the request is still protected by RCU, and release it on all paths that
continue after the reference is acquired.

🚨 CVE-2026-74662
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

inet: frags: publish queues before arming timer

inet_frag_create() arms the fragment queue timer before inserting the
queue into the fqdir rhashtable. If the namespace fragment timeout is
zero or negative, the timer can run before the queue is published.

The timer callback then marks the queue complete, tries to remove a node
that is not in the hash table yet, and drops the anticipated hash
reference. Creation can subsequently publish the completed queue without
restoring that reference, leaving a stale hash node after the caller drops
the remaining reference.

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,
so inet_frag_kill() can remove the node and balance the hash reference.

net/sched: reject overly deep qdisc hierarchies

Deep qdisc hierarchies can lead to excessive recursion in qdisc tree
walkers and exhaust the kernel stack. The existing loop check does not
cover the create-and-graft path, so a hierarchy can still be extended by
creating a new child qdisc below an already deep parent.

Store the hierarchy depth in struct Qdisc and update it when qdiscs are
grafted. Reject new child qdiscs once the parent is already at the maximum
allowed depth.

🚨 CVE-2026-74665
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
corrupted payloads. After the fix, all 10 runs matched the expected
payload exactly.

🚨 CVE-2026-74666
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

packet: synchronize pressure clearing with ring reconfiguration

packet_set_ring() updates the RX ring state under sk_receive_queue.lock,
but used to publish the tpacket receive mode through po->prot_hook.func
after releasing that lock. packet_poll() and packet_recvmsg() can then
run the pressure clearing path after the ring has been cleared while
still seeing tpacket_rcv, causing __packet_rcv_has_room() to dereference
stale or NULL ring storage.

Move the existing receive hook assignment into the same
sk_receive_queue.lock section as the ring state update. Keep the
assignment otherwise unchanged, including on TX ring reconfiguration, to
avoid adding behavior changes that are not required for the fix.

Serialize packet_recvmsg() pressure clearing with the same queue lock
only after PACKET_SOCK_PRESSURE has been observed. If the flag is clear
and the socket has moved away from tpacket_rcv, packet_set_ring() has
already detached the socket and waited for synchronize_net(), so no new
packet input can set the flag again.

packet_poll() already holds sk_receive_queue.lock, so it uses the new
unlocked helper directly.

🚨 CVE-2026-74667
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/packet: reset the MAC header on the packet-socket transmit path

packet_parse_headers() resets the MAC header only for a SOCK_RAW frame
whose socket did not bind a protocol. A protocol-bound SOCK_RAW socket,
any SOCK_DGRAM frame, and the legacy SOCK_PACKET path therefore leave
skb->mac_header unset here.

For frames sent via __dev_queue_xmit() this is harmless: it resets the
MAC header unconditionally. But the packet-socket PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS
path uses dev_direct_xmit(), which does not, so the frame reaches
ndo_start_xmit() with the MAC header unset. A driver that reads
eth_hdr(skb) on transmit then dereferences skb->head + (u16)~0, an
out-of-bounds access ~64 KiB past the head -- the same class fixed for
one consumer in commit f5089008f90c ("macsec: do not read an unset MAC
header in macsec_encrypt()").

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
header and SOCK_DGRAM has one built by dev_hard_header(). Reset the MAC
header unconditionally, mirroring __dev_queue_xmit(), so the frame is
anchored on the bypass path too.

Found by 0sec (https://0sec.ai) using automated source analysis;
verified against source and matched to the macsec KASAN report in
f5089008f90c. Compile-tested.

🚨 CVE-2026-74668
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

packet: use consistent hard_header_len in TX_RING send path

tpacket_snd() reads dev->hard_header_len independently for skb
allocation and header construction in tpacket_fill_skb(). Concurrent
netdevice reconfiguration can therefore make the reserved headroom
smaller than the amount later pushed, or make copylen - hard_header_len
negative.

Snapshot hard_header_len once before processing ring frames and use it
for the frame limit, headroom allocation, copy length, and skb
construction. Pass the snapshot to tpacket_fill_skb().

The separate SOCK_DGRAM consistency problem between hard_header_len and
header_ops->create is not addressed here.

🚨 CVE-2026-74669
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipvs: clear IPv4 options after rebasing tunnel ICMP errors

ip_vs_in_icmp() rebases an skb from the outer ICMP packet to the
quoted original request before passing it to icmp_send(). However,
IPCB(skb)->opt still describes the outer IPv4 header.

A timestamp option in the outer header can therefore leave an offset
that points into the quoted transport header after the rebase.
__ip_options_echo() treats a byte at that stale location as the option
length and copies it into the fixed-size option storage on the
__icmp_send() stack, causing a stack out-of-bounds write.

Clear the stale option metadata after resetting the network header.
Keep the remaining control block fields, including the ingress
interface used by the ICMP response path.

🚨 CVE-2026-74670
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipvs: stop estimator after disabled calc phase

IPVS estimator kthread 0 starts with zeroed chain and tick limits until
its initial calculation phase completes. If network namespace teardown
clears ipvs->enable during that phase, ip_vs_est_calc_phase() can return
without installing positive limits.

The kthread can then continue into its main loop and drain
est_temp_list with zero chain_max, tick_max and est_max_count values.
Each enqueue consumes one available tick row, but est_count never
reaches the zero est_max_count value. After all rows are consumed, the
row lookup returns IPVS_EST_NTICKS and ip_vs_enqueue_estimator() writes
past the ticks and tick_len arrays.

Exit kthread 0 after the calculation phase if the kthread is stopping or
IPVS has been disabled. That keeps temporary estimators from being
drained after the limits failed to initialize.

Estimator kthreads can now self-exit before teardown or reload stops
kd->task. Keep an extra task reference after creation and release it
with kthread_stop_put(), so kd->task remains valid until the stop paths
consume that reference.

🚨 CVE-2026-74673
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Input: evdev - fix information leak in evdev_pass_values()

In evdev_pass_values(), the input_event structure is allocated on the
kernel stack and populated field-by-field. However, it is never fully
initialized. On architectures where struct input_event contains explicit
or implicit padding (such as the 32-bit __pad field on SPARC64), these
padding bytes are left uninitialized.

When this event structure is subsequently passed to the client buffer
and later copied to userspace, the uninitialized padding bytes leak
kernel stack memory, potentially exposing sensitive information.

Similar issues exist in __evdev_queue_syn_dropped and __pass_event.

Fix this by explicitly zeroing the entire event structure with memset()
before populating its fields. This ensures all padding bytes are cleared
before the data crosses the security boundary.

🚨 CVE-2026-74674
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm: fix incorrect flush address in direct page table reclaim

When zap_pte_range reclaims a page table, it does:

pte_free_tlb(tlb, pmd_pgtable(pmdval), addr);

and this is unconditionally wrong: if this code executes, addr *always*
points one past the end of the range covered by the table. The addr
parameter is used to flush the TLB (really the paging-structure-cache)
to drop references to the to-be-freed table, and any architecture that
cares about the parameter will flush the wrong address. (But they'll
still free the correct page).

I think it's worth contemplating why the kernel works at all.

If we hit the offending line of code, we will first clear the PMD entry
(line 1954, zap_empty_pte_table), then we will issue pending flushes if
force_flush is set (tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly(tlb)), then we will skip the
retry on line 1979 (phew!), and then we will do the offending
pte_free_tlb call. *Or* we will clear the PMD entry immediately before
pte_free_tlb (line 1983, zap_pte_table_if_empty).

If we have any pending flushes (i.e. we actually zapped any last-level
entries) at the time we clear the PMD entry, then the flush really ought
to flush all references to the table (Linus certainly seems to think it
will on all architectures [0]).

The condition under which we have no accumulated flushes at the time of
the clear is very complex (the whole zap_pte_range function has absurdly
complex control flow). If we do hit the bad case, then we will end up
clearing the PMD entry after the last time the range is flushed, and any
CPU is free to cache a reference to the (empty) page table. If this
happens due to an ordinary read or write, it would segfault, so it would
be rare. But the cache could be speculatively filled as well. Then
we'll flush the wrong address and then free and possibly reuse the
table.

On x86, even flushing the wrong address works on non-KPTI Intel systems
because INVLPG flushes *all* paging-structure-caches, not just the ones
for the target address. But INVPCID does not, and flush_tlb_one_user
will use INVPCID if it's available. And then we're toast. AMD systems
are more susceptible: we set the EFER.TCE bit, which makes even INVLPG
only flush the target address.

I think this might fix an issue in ripgrep reported here:

When the interface has NETIF_F_SG enabled and skb_linearize() fails in
ax88179_tx_fixup(), the function returns NULL without freeing the skb.

usbnet_start_xmit() treats a NULL return from tx_fixup() as a drop
(info->flags does not set FLAG_MULTI_PACKET for this driver), jumping
to the "drop" label where it does `if (skb) dev_kfree_skb_any(skb)`.
Because tx_fixup() returned NULL, the local skb variable in
usbnet_start_xmit() is NULL, so the original skb is never freed — a
memory leak on every TX frame whose linearization fails (i.e. under
memory pressure).

Free the skb before returning, matching the error handling already used
for the pskb_expand_head() failure path in the same function.

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

Input: evdev - sanitize event type index when fetching event masks

The user-supplied event type index passed to EVIOCGMASK / EVIOCSMASK
ioctls is used to index the static counts array in evdev_get_mask_cnt()
and client evmasks array in evdev_get_mask().

While the event type is architecturally bounded by EV_CNT, speculative
execution may mispredict bounds checks and perform out-of-bounds loads.

Sanitize the event type index in evdev_get_mask_cnt() branchlessly using
array_index_mask_nospec(). This clamps the index to 0 for safe array
access and forces the returned count to 0 speculatively when the index
is out of bounds.

We do not need additional array_index_nospec() calls in evdev_get_mask()
because evdev_get_mask_cnt() speculatively forces the count (and
resulting xfer_size) to 0 for out-of-bounds types, preventing any

🚨 CVE-2026-74684
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: tap: set skb->dev before parsing virtio net header in tap_get_user_xdp()

The commit 4f61f133f354 ("net: tap: NULL pointer derefence in
dev_parse_header_protocol when skb->dev is null") fixed a crash in
tap_get_user() by assigning skb->dev before calling tun_vnet_hdr_to_skb().
This is required because virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() may invoke
dev_parse_header_protocol(), which dereferences skb->dev. Without the
assignment, a NULL pointer dereference can occur.

However, tap_get_user_xdp() still parses the virtio-net header before
assigning skb->dev. When the vhost TX path passes an XDP buffer containing
a GSO virtio-net header but the protocol is set to zero on purpose,
tun_vnet_hdr_to_skb() can reach dev_parse_header_protocol() while skb->dev
is still NULL, resulting in a crash.

Fix this by looking up the tap device and assigning skb->dev before calling
tun_vnet_hdr_to_skb(), matching the ordering already used in
tap_get_user(). Preserve the existing RCU read-side critical section across
dev_queue_xmit().
