🚨 CVE-2026-97548
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xfs: fix the rtrmap and rtrefcount _maxlevels_ondisk functions

The _maxlevels_ondisk functions are used to compute the size of
in-memory btree cursors for each btree type. Unfortunately, LOLLM
noticed that the rtrmap and rtrefcount versions of these functions
forget to account for the inode root, which means that we could access
beyond the end of the cursor given a sufficiently large btree. Fix
this.

This is a consequence of commit 0fe77e57588b98, which added the
following assertion to xfs_da_grow_inode_int:

ASSERT(args->total >= dp->i_nblocks - nblks);

Tracing this back to xrep_dir_swap_prep, I noticed that the xfs_da_args
object that's passed to xfs_dir2_sf_to_block sets args->total to 1.
This is incorrect because mkfs set the directory block size to 8k and
the filesystem block size to 4k. In other words, args->total should be
2 here, not 1.

Dave Chinner tripped over the same problem with the same branch through
a different channel -- his test setup set the fs block size to 1k, in
which case the directory block size is still set to 4k. Here,
args->total should be 4.

Changing the assignment of args->total to sc->mp->m_dir_geo->fsbcount
makes the assertion go away, but that isn't a complete fix. In
xrep_tempexch_estimate, we also incorrectly assume that a shortform
conversion requires 1 fsblock when it should be m_dir_geo->fsbcount.
Without that, we can under-reserve space in the transaction and cause a
filesystem shutdown.

Note that the xfs_dabuf_nfsb helper will compute the correct value for
directories and xattr, so we use that instead of open-coding the logic.
Also fix xrep_xattr_swap_prep to assign args->total via xfs_dabuf_nfsb
to avoid one logic bomb if we ever support multi-fsblock attrs.

🚨 CVE-2026-97550
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xfs: fix unit conversions in per_binval computation

LOLLM noticed that we're doing the unit conversion in the per_binval
computation backwards -- xfs_buf_inval_log_space's second parameter is
supposed to be in bytes, but max_binval is in units of fsblocks. Hence
the conversion should be FSB -> B, not the other way around.

🚨 CVE-2026-97551
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

xfs: initialise args->total for parent pointer updates

xfs_parent_da_args_init() builds an xfs_da_args from a zeroed
xfs_parent_args (kmem_cache_zalloc), leaving args->total == 0.
xfs_da_grow_inode_int() treats that field as a running block reservation
and subtracts from it; because it is an xfs_extlen_t (uint32_t), the
first attr-fork growth wraps it to ~0U. That defeats the free-space
check in xfs_alloc_space_available(), and when it coincides with an AG
that has exactly zero available blocks the allocation is clamped to
maxlen 0 and returns -ENOSPC, which xfs_defer_finish_noroll() escalates
to a filesystem shutdown.

Set args->total the way the log recovery path does
(xfs_attri_recover_work(), xfs_attr_item.c:706), in the add and replace
paths that can grow the fork. Removals and lookups never grow it, so
they leave the field alone, matching that switch.

🚨 CVE-2026-97554
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: avoid using uninitialized SIDs in cifs_posix_to_fattr()

cifs_posix_to_fattr() ignores the return value of posix_info_parse().
When a malformed POSIX directory entry is encountered (e.g. invalid
SID lengths from an untrusted server), posix_info_parse() returns -1
without populating the 'parsed' struct. The uninitialized stack
memory in parsed.owner and parsed.group is then passed to
sid_to_id(), which processes the garbage bytes and passes them to
request_key() to construct a SID string, potentially leaking kernel
stack contents to the userspace idmap daemon.

Fix this by checking the return value and skipping the SID-to-id
mapping when parsing fails. The remaining fattr fields (timestamps,
mode, etc.) are populated directly from the 'info' pointer so they
are unaffected.

🚨 CVE-2026-97555
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: fix heap overflow in DACL owner/group rewrite

When id_mode_to_cifs_acl rewrites an existing DACL, it allocates a
buffer sized according to the on-disk DACL length reported by
dacl_ptr->size. However, replace_sids_and_copy_aces may rewrite each
ACE with a new owner/group SID obtained from the cifs.idmap upcall.
Those SIDs can have up to SID_MAX_SUB_AUTHORITIES (15) sub-authorities,
making each ACE up to 76 bytes (sizeof(struct smb_ace)).

If the original DACL contains short SIDs (e.g., 1 sub-authority) while
the replacement SIDs are long, the rewritten ACEs overflow the
allocation.

Fix this by always budgeting for worst-case SID expansion: allocate
sizeof(struct smb_acl) plus num_aces * sizeof(struct smb_ace), which
covers the smb_acl header and room for every ACE at maximum SID size.
This replaces the previous split logic that used dacl_ptr->size for
cifsacl mounts but num_aces * sizeof(struct smb_ace) for mode_from_sid
mounts: both paths can trigger the same rewrite and need the same
headroom.

KASAN reports this as:

🚨 CVE-2026-97556
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: avoid leaking refcount when cifs_sb_tlink() fails

cifs_oplock_break() takes over the reference that
cifs_queue_oplock_break() acquired when it queued the work, and drops it
with _cifsFileInfo_put() once the break has been processed.

Only in setups with "-o multiuser", cifs_sb_tlink() may fail, at which
point cifs_oplock_break() returns without putting the file reference,
mirroring the reference leak we already fixed in the companion patch to
cifs_queue_oplock_break().

This would trigger a crash due to busy inodes on the next unmount:

BUG: Dentry ... still in use (1) [unmount of cifs cifs]
VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of cifs (cifs)

Drop the reference on that path as well. Doing so before the out label
mirrors the normal path, which also puts the reference before
cifs_done_oplock_break().

Found by Sashiko code review. The failure path was not exercised at
runtime.

🎖@cveNotify
🚨 CVE-2026-97557
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: avoid leaking refcount in cifs_queue_oplock_break()

cifs_queue_oplock_break() unconditionally takes a reference on the
target file before queueing cifs_oplock_break(). Only that work item
decreases the reference counter again.

If another oplock break arrives while that work is still queued,
queue_work() will return false and not queue this second work item. As a
result, we will never reach the point to drop the file reference again
and are leaking this reference. This can be triggered when interacting
with a slow-responding server.

As a result, later unmount operations for this file system will fail with

BUG: Dentry ... still in use (1) [unmount of cifs cifs]
VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of cifs (cifs)
kernel BUG at fs/super.c:777!

Fix this by only incrementing the reference count if the work has been
queued successfully. Taking it after queue_work() is safe because all
three callers hold tcon->open_file_lock across the call and
_cifsFileInfo_put() decrements under that same lock, so a worker that
starts the handler in the window cannot drop the reference before it has
been taken.

🚨 CVE-2026-97558
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: fix cifsFileInfo reference leak in deferred close

When cifs_close() defers a close, it hands the cifsFileInfo reference
of the closing struct file to the queued work. Each execution of
smb2_deferred_work_close() drops one such reference.

deferred_close_scheduled can be false while the work is pending: the
workqueue clears PENDING when the callback starts to run, before the
callback clears the flag under deferred_lock. A close in that
interval requeues the running work, and the callback then clears the
flag, leaving the requeued work pending with the flag down. A later
cifs_open() can reuse the handle and its cifs_close() reaches the
same branch: queue_delayed_work() fails because the work is still
pending, but cifs_close() returns without dropping the closing file's
reference. The cifsFileInfo count stays pinned and its tlink, dentry
and server handle are leaked.

Check the return value and hand off the reference only when work was
actually queued. Otherwise, use the shared _cifsFileInfo_put(), like
the mod_delayed_work() branch above: the pending execution already
owns its reference.

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

🚨 CVE-2026-97559
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: fail DACL rewrite when the new DACL exceeds 64K

replace_sids_and_copy_aces() and set_chmod_dacl() accumulate the size of
the DACL they build in a u16. That accumulator can wrap.

validate_dacl() caps num_aces at (dacl_size - sizeof(struct smb_acl)) /
20, i.e. 3276 for a maximally sized DACL, while each rewritten ACE can
grow to sizeof(struct smb_ace) (76 bytes) once its SID is replaced with
one carrying SID_MAX_SUB_AUTHORITIES sub-authorities. The worst case is
therefore sizeof(struct smb_acl) + 3276 * 76 = 248984 bytes, far beyond
what a u16 can hold. A wraparound is reached with 863 ACEs.

After the wraparound, ndacl_ptr->size becomes meaningless and the offset
will point anywhere in the ACE array. As a result, we will see
corruption of the DACL, which then gets sent to the server. This is not
an out-of-bounds write as the allocation now covers the worst-case
expansion, so writes will always go into the buffer.

Adjust the code to use a u32 internally and return -EOVERFLOW in the
overflow case. The operation must be refused, because a DACL can only
hold 2^16-1 bytes on the wire and larger DACLs cannot be represented.

set_chmod_dacl() carries the same pattern and is fixed the same way. It
only wraps once the source DACL comes within roughly 380 bytes of the
64K ceiling, but the failure mode is identical.

smb: client: fix one-byte OOB read in smb2_parse_native_symlink()

smb_target+1 (skipping the leading separator) but uses
strlen(smb_target)+1 as the length, reading one byte past the

🚨 CVE-2026-97561
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: honor forceuid/forcegid when mapping SIDs to uid/gid

When the administrator mounts with forceuid or forcegid (uid=/gid=
mount options), they expect all files to appear owned by the specified
user/group. However, several code paths unconditionally called
sid_to_id() to overwrite cf_uid/cf_gid with server-provided values,
ignoring the administrator's explicit override:

- smb311_posix_info_to_fattr() (stat via POSIX extensions)
- cifs_posix_to_fattr() (readdir via POSIX extensions)
- parse_sec_desc() (CIFS ACL ownership mapping)

This allowed an untrusted server to dictate local file ownership even
when the mount was configured to force specific uid/gid values.

Fix all three call sites to check CIFS_MOUNT_OVERR_UID and
CIFS_MOUNT_OVERR_GID before calling sid_to_id(), following the
same pattern already used by cifs_unix_basic_to_fattr() for unix
extensions.

🚨 CVE-2026-97562
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: pin DFS superblock in iterator callback

tcon_super_cb() stores a raw superblock pointer, but __cifs_get_super()
takes its active reference only after iterate_supers_type() has dropped
s_umount and its passive reference. Concurrent DFS automount expiry can
therefore free the superblock before cifs_sb_active() uses it.

A deterministic KASAN test reproduces the race as:

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in cifs_sb_active+0x77/0x80

The same test passes with this change applied.

Take the active reference in the callback while iterate_supers_type()
still holds s_umount shared. cifs_put_tcp_super() remains the matching
release.

🚨 CVE-2026-97563
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: reject out-of-bounds DataOffset in CIFSSMBRead()

The SMB1 synchronous read helper CIFSSMBRead() validates the server's
DataLength against CIFSMaxBufSize and the caller's count, but never
validates DataOffset. The copy source is formed as

&pSMBr->hdr.Protocol + le16_to_cpu(pSMBr->DataOffset)

and memcpy()'d for DataLength bytes with no check that the
[DataOffset, DataOffset + DataLength) range lies within the response
actually received from the server.

A malicious or compromised SMB1 server can return a response carrying
an in-range DataLength and a large DataOffset, driving the source
pointer past the end of the response buffer. The memcpy() then copies
adjacent kernel heap into the caller's read buffer (information
disclosure), or reads unmapped memory and oopses (denial of service).
SMB1 is not negotiated by default; reaching this code requires an
explicit vers=1.0 mount.

Both DataOffset and the received response length recorded in
rsp_iov.iov_len are relative to the start of the SMB header, so reject
the response unless DataOffset + DataLength fits within that length,
using overflow-safe arithmetic, before forming the source pointer.
The response length has been validated by the previous patch, so the
DataOffset and DataLength fields can be read safely here.

While here, make data_length unsigned. It holds a length derived from
unsigned on-the-wire fields and is only ever compared against unsigned
quantities; print it with %u accordingly, and add __func__ to the
cifs_dbg() calls in this function.

🎖@cveNotify
🚨 CVE-2026-97564
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: reject userspace cifs.idmap descriptions

cifs.idmap key descriptions carry authority-bearing fields (owner and
group SIDs and uid/gid values in "os:"/"gs:"/"oi:"/"gi:" form) that the
cifs.idmap upcall helper treats as kernel-originating inputs. Unlike
its sibling cifs.spnego, the cifs.idmap key type has no vet_description
hook, so userspace can create keys of this type through
request_key(2)/add_key(2) and supply those fields without CIFS origin.
A request_key(2) call with a non-NULL callout then drives a root
usermodehelper upcall (/sbin/request-key -> cifs.idmap) that consumes
the unvetted description in root context.

Only accept cifs.idmap descriptions while CIFS is using its private
root_cred to request the key. id_to_sid()/sid_to_id() already run
under override_creds(root_cred), so the kernel-originated path is
unaffected.

This mirrors commit 3da1fdf4efbc ("smb: client: reject userspace
cifs.spnego descriptions"), which applied the same restriction to
cifs.spnego.

🚨 CVE-2026-97565
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: reject short READ responses in CIFSSMBRead()

CIFSSMBRead() reads DataLengthHigh, DataLength and DataOffset out of
the READ_RSP returned by the server without first checking that a
whole READ_RSP was actually received. The length of the response is
recorded in rsp_iov.iov_len, but nothing constrains it to be at least
read_rsp_size before those fields are dereferenced.

A malicious or compromised SMB1 server can return a response shorter
than the READ_RSP header, so that parsing the header itself reads past
the end of the receive buffer. SMB1 is not negotiated by default;
reaching this code requires an explicit vers=1.0 mount.

Reject the response unless it is at least read_rsp_size bytes long.

🚨 CVE-2026-97566
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mptcp: pm: kernel: drop pending ADD_ADDR when removing ID0

The in-kernel MPTCP path manager can leave a stale ADD_ADDR announcement
entry alive when removing the id 0 endpoint. This happens because the id 0
removal path does not tear down pending announcements, unlike the non-zero
id path.

When the PM later reselects id 0 after adding another signal endpoint, it
finds the stale anno_list entry and hits WARN_ON_ONCE(mptcp_pm_is_kernel())
in mptcp_pm_announced_alloc().

Root cause: asymmetry between removal paths.
- Non-zero id path: mptcp_nl_remove_subflow_and_signal_addr() calls
mptcp_pm_remove_announced() to clean up.
- Id 0 path: mptcp_nl_remove_id_zero_address() skips cleanup entirely.

Fix by making the id 0 path symmetric: call mptcp_pm_announced_remove()
and decrement add_addr_signaled before queuing the RM_ADDR.

Subtle detail: signal endpoints are stored in anno_list with port 0, but
msk_local carries the connection's local port. In other words, entries
linked to ID0 paths should have port == 0. A follow-up patch will ensure
that. mptcp_pm_announced_remove() uses use_port=true for comparison. So
clear the port before the lookup.

🚨 CVE-2026-97569
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bnxt_en: Prevent queue stop with deferred completions

When the driver receives a burst of packets, it can mark a BD with the
NO_CMPL bit to defer completions. The expectation is that the last
packet in the ring will have this bit unset and the completion generated
by that packet will cleanup that packet and the ones preceding it. This
helps to reduce the number of completions fired.

The suppressed completions are controlled by the driver and the number
of packets with suppressed completions scales with the size of the ring.
SW USO packets, on the other hand, have an upper bound on the maximum
number of BDs which can be consumed which does not scale with the ring
size.

So, for small rings it is possible that: a burst of packets is handed to
the driver, the driver defers completions for all of the packets because
the number of free descriptors stays above the threshold in the driver.
Then, a USO packet arrives, but the number of BDs available is not
enough and the USO code exits early.

In this case, you end up in a state where the ring is full of packets
with their completions suppressed, which can cause the queue to stop and
never be restarted.

Assuming default CONFIG_MAX_SKB_FRAGS, this is only possible for small
rings (<= 457 descriptors, below the driver default value) when
a burst of packets fills the ring, followed by a large USO packet that
can't fit. For larger rings, the delta between the completion
suppression threshold and the BDs required for SW USO is large enough
that completions will fire and this case is unreachable.

This issue was pointed out by Sashiko and while it seems fairly unlikely
given that the queue size must be small to trigger this, it is indeed
possible.

Fix this by tracking the last BD which deferred completions and
centralizing the logic for deciding when to ring the doorbell. The NO_CMPL
bit is now cleared in bnxt_txr_db_kick(), so every doorbell site is
covered, including the SW USO early exit. This guarantees the ring always
ends in a BD which generates a completion to clean it and wake the queue.
