🚨 CVE-2026-93240
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memcg: make the v1 soft limit knob inert
The v1 soft limit has been deprecated since v6.12 and nobody has reported
depending on it. Start the removal by decoupling the interface from the
implementation: keep memory.soft_limit_in_bytes, but ignore writes to it
and always report the maximum value on read similar to what
memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes already does.
Writes are still parsed, so malformed input keeps returning -EINVAL. The
knob now also behaves the same everywhere: it used to return -EOPNOTSUPP
on PREEMPT_RT, where soft limit reclaim has always been disabled.
This also fixes the syzbot report linked below. Soft limit reclaim is the
only caller that runs shrink_lruvec() from kswapd against a specific
memcg, so it is the only way to reach lru_gen_shrink_lruvec() and in turn
set_mm_walk(), which warns when called from kswapd.

🚨 CVE-2026-93241
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memcg: bypass the reclaim and oom killer for dying tasks once oom_reaper is done
At Meta, we are seeing instances where an OOM killed job is stuck in the
exit path for several hours. In one particular case, the job was stuck
for more than 8 hours and I had to manually remove the memory.max limits
to allow the process to exit.
The job was a single process job and had ~55 GiB memory.max and zswap
enabled. It had almost 0 anon in memory and ~111 GiB in zswap compressed
to ~51 GiB zswap pool (i.e. almost all of memory.current was zswap).
Nothing was left on the LRUs to reclaim.
On further inspection, I observed ~20k threads of that process stuck with
the following stack:

In addition the dmesg was filled with "Out of memory and no killable
processes..." messages.
I have no idea why oom reaper was not able to reap/unmap the process. My
guess is that since oom reaper tries to acquire mmap_lock in read mode
limited number of times and then gives up, there might be a thread of that
process which had mmap_lock in write mode at that time.
My initial suspicion was the futex_cleanup and kernel page fault causing
infinite fault and charge retries but that was put to rest in previous
discussions happened on similar problem [1].
My current theory is that it is just a simple slow serialization behind
the oom_lock. Unlike page allocator, memcg charge code takes the oom_lock
without the "try". Though memcg oom code uses mutex_lock_killable(), note
that in the call stack get_signal() consumes SIGKILL (or
sigdelset(SIGKILL)) before calling do_group_exit(). So this
mutex_lock_killable() is just a mutex_lock() here. Therefore 10s of
thousands of threads are waiting on oom_lock and one by one they get
-EFAULT from get_user() in the futex cleanup code and bails out.
Discussion from [1] led to commit a75ffa26122b ("memcg, oom: do not bypass
oom killer for dying tasks") which routes dying tasks into the OOM path
precisely so the oom_reaper can reap their mm and free the memory
asynchronously. But the reaper is best-effort and one-shot: if it cannot
take mmap_lock for read (e.g. a sibling thread holds it for write) it
sets MMF_OOM_SKIP and never retries, leaving only the glacial
oom_lock-serialized synchronous drain.
Once MMF_OOM_SKIP is set there is no more asynchronous reclaim coming for
the mm, so a dying task charging against it has nothing left to wait for:
it frees its memory only once it finishes exiting. Running reclaim and
the (no-victim) OOM killer for it is then pointless, and doing it for 10s
of thousands of exiting threads is what serializes them behind oom_lock.
So before reclaim, if current is an OOM victim whose reaper is done, fail
the charge.
Reproduced with 20k threads, each parking a robust futex head on its own
zswapped page, OOM-group-killed while a sibling holds mmap_lock for write
so the reaper gives up and sets MMF_OOM_SKIP. Tested on next-20260728 and
baseline show ~90 seconds exit time while with the patch the exit time
reduced to ~3 seconds.

🚨 CVE-2026-93251
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: bus: Introduce acpi_bus_get_primary_device()
The function used for obtaining the first "physical" device for which
the given ACPI one is the ACPI companion, acpi_get_first_physical_node(),
may return a stale device pointer (mostly in theory) because
acpi_unbind_one() may run as a whole after dropping the ACPI device's
physical_node_lock in acpi_get_first_physical_node() and before it
returns. The last reference to the "physical" device may be dropped
then before the pointer to it is returned to the caller.
If that happens and the acpi_get_first_physical_node() caller invokes
get_device() on the pointer obtained from it, which is done by the
majority of its callers, a use-after-free will occur.
To prepare for addressing this problem, introduce a new function for
getting the first "physical" device associated with the given ACPI one
(the "primary physical device") that will also reference count the
device in question before returning a pointer to it.
Make that new function and acpi_get_first_physical_node() share the
physical node list lookup code.
No intentional functional impact.

🚨 CVE-2026-93282
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix maximum allowed access checks
The DACL permission check looks for an ACE matching the current user and
falls back to the Everyone ACE. It does not consider an Authenticated
Users ACE, even though an authenticated session is a member of that
well-known group.
As a result, opening a file whose access is granted through S-1-5-11 can
incorrectly fail with STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. Treat an Authenticated Users
ACE as a fallback entry alongside Everyone.
The maximal access calculation also combines access masks from every ACE,
regardless of whether its SID applies to the current user. This can grant
rights belonging to an unrelated principal. Process only ACEs applying to
the user, Everyone, or Authenticated Users, and accumulate allowed and
denied masks in ACL order. Preserve explicitly requested access bits so
they are validated against the resulting maximal mask.
When ACCESS_SYSTEM_SECURITY is denied, report STATUS_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD
instead of the generic STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED. Access to the system ACL
requires a security privilege that ksmbd does not grant.
For regular files, include FILE_EXECUTE in maximal access when the client
requested GENERIC_EXECUTE and the DACL grants the complete file-read set.
Keep a direct FILE_EXECUTE request subject to the explicit DACL bit. This
matches the POSIX file ACL mapping without broadening specific execute
requests.
Do not replace rights from an applicable NT ACE with a POSIX ACL entry.
The POSIX ACL is only a fallback when no user, Everyone, or Authenticated
Users ACE applies; otherwise it can incorrectly broaden the stored DACL.
This fixes smb2.maximum_allowed.maximum_allowed.

🚨 CVE-2026-93781
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: Do not block on tag allocation in scsi_eh_lock_door()
scsi_eh_lock_door() is called from scsi_restart_operations() while the
host is still in the SHOST_RECOVERY state, i.e. before the host is
switched back to SHOST_RUNNING and scsi_run_host_queues() restarts the
queues. It allocates a request via scsi_alloc_request() with no flags,
so blk_mq_get_tag() may block waiting for a free sched tag when all tags
are already in use.
Those tags can be held by commands that were just requeued by
scsi_eh_flush_done_q() during error handling. Such commands cannot be
dispatched until the host leaves SHOST_RECOVERY and
scsi_run_host_queues() is called - which only happens *after*
scsi_eh_lock_door() returns.
This forms a circular dependency:
- scsi_eh_lock_door(), running in the SCSI error handler thread, waits
for a sched tag held by a requeued command;
- the requeued command cannot complete and release its sched tag until
the error handler thread leaves scsi_restart_operations() and restart
the queues.
For devices with a single driver tag (e.g. USB storage) it is a
guaranteed deadlock and I/O that can never be submitted. This problem
has also been reproduced in our environment.
Locking the door is a best-effort operation, and scsi_eh_lock_door()
already returns silently when the request allocation fails. Pass
BLK_MQ_REQ_NOWAIT to scsi_alloc_request() so the allocation fails
instead of blocking when no tag is available. This breaks the circular
dependency and allows the error handler to finish restarting the queues,
after which the pending commands are dispatched normally.

smb: client: bound dirent name against end of SMB response in cifs_filldir
cifs_filldir() copies the entry name out of an SMB1 TRANS2_FIND_FIRST /
FIND_NEXT response using a length (de.namelen) supplied by the server.
The kmalloc'd SMB response buffer is bounded, but nothing checks that
de.name + de.namelen still lies inside that buffer before the eventual
filldir64() -> verify_dirent_name() -> memchr() reads namelen bytes.
A hostile SMB1 server that returns an oversized FileNameLength in a
directory entry therefore causes memchr() to read past the end of the
response slab buffer. Reachable from any user who can list a directory
on a CIFS mount served by an attacker-controlled server (getdents64()
on the mounted directory):

Pass the end-of-response pointer down to cifs_filldir() and reject
entries whose name would extend past that boundary.
This bug was discovered by Artiphishell's vTriage pipeline, which
generated a userspace reproducer (an emulated hostile SMB1 server plus
a getdents64() client) that reliably triggers the KASAN report on an
unpatched kernel. The fix below was drafted with the Claude coding
assistant; a userspace reproducer is available on request.

🚨 CVE-2026-93790
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: fix out-of-bounds tid_data access in BA notif
mvmsta->tid_data was indexed by the TFD loop counter 'i' instead of
the actual TID value 'tid'. This writes lq_color into a random tid_data
slot unrelated to the BA entry.
Since multi-TID blockack is not really in use, 'i' was always 0 and no
harm was done.
Add a out-of-bound check before accessing the array.

🚨 CVE-2026-93793
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: validate TX_CMD response layout
TX_CMD parsing uses frame_count to walk status entries and then
read the trailing SCD SSN. Make the minimum-length check follow
that exact runtime layout calculation before parsing the payload.
For new TX API, reject TX_CMD responses with frame_count != 1 and
warn/return in the aggregation handler to document that aggregated
accounting is expected via BA notifications.

🚨 CVE-2026-93794
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb/client: flush dirty data before punching a hole
Punching a hole after a large buffered write may leave the range
reported as data. Reproduce it with:
xfs_io -f \
-c "pwrite -b 3m -S 0x61 0 3m" \
-c "fpunch 1m 1m" \
-c "seek -h 0" \
-c "seek -d 1m" \
/mnt/test/repro
Punching 1 MiB at offset 1 MiB should produce:
0 1 MiB 2 MiB 3 MiB
| DATA | HOLE | DATA | EOF
Instead, the entire file is reported as data. SEEK_HOLE(0) returns EOF,
and SEEK_DATA(1M) returns 1M.
This happens because a dirty folio spanning the punched range can be
written back after the punch and refill the hole.
Fix this by flushing and waiting for dirty data in the punched range
before invalidating the page cache and issuing FSCTL_SET_ZERO_DATA.
The xfstests generic/539 pass against Samba/ksmbd with this change.

🚨 CVE-2026-93796
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: pcie: null RX pointers after free
When iwl_pcie_tx_init() fails after RX init, nic init unwinds via
iwl_pcie_rx_free().
The freed RX members stayed non-NULL on the live transport object,
so later teardown or retry could touch stale RX state.
Set rx_pool, global_table, rxq, and alloc_page to NULL after free
to make repeated cleanup and retry paths safe.
