🚨 CVE-2026-98023
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vxlan: reject dynamic fdb entries that reference a nexthop id

The commit cited in the Fixes tag allowed VXLAN FDB entries to point to
FDB nexthops so that overlay traffic could be load balanced across
multiple VTEPs. Such entries can only be configured from user space,
cannot be learned and cannot roam. They only make sense with a user space
control plane such as E-VPN where data plane learning is disabled.

Despite that, the VXLAN driver does not currently prevent such entries
from being configured with the "dynamic" flag. The per-nexthop FDB list
is only protected by the per-device hash lock, which is not sufficient
when two VXLAN devices point to the same FDB nexthop and therefore share
the list. Aging runs in softirq context without RTNL, so an entry deleted
by one device can race with an addition or deletion from the other,
leading to list corruption:

list_del corruption. next->prev should be ffff8881069d9548, but was
dead000000000122. (next=ffff8881069d9448)

Fix this by rejecting the bogus configuration of dynamic FDB entries that
point to FDB nexthops, both when created and when an existing entry is
updated. As such, the per-nexthop FDB list is only ever mutated under the
RTNL lock. Add test cases to make sure that this does not regress in the
future.

🚨 CVE-2026-98027
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: bound the policy rule dump by the caller's buffer size

mv88e6xxx_get_rxnfc() uses rxnfc->rule_cnt as the write index while
dumping the policy IDR, clobbering the input value before it has been
looked at. That input is the number of entries the caller had room for.
ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL requires no CAP_NET_ADMIN and the ioctl sizes the
buffer from the rule_cnt userspace passes in, so once an admin has
installed policy rules any user can ask for fewer slots than there are
rules and run off the end of the allocation. A rule_cnt of 0 leaves the
buffer pointer NULL and the walk dereferences it.

Count into a local so the caller's limit survives the walk, and stop with
-EMSGSIZE once it is reached.

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

eth: nfp: bound the ntuple rule dump by the caller's buffer size

nfp_net_get_fs_loc() dumps every entry of nn->fs.list into rule_locs[]
without consulting cmd->rule_cnt, which is how many entries the caller
had room for. ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL requires no CAP_NET_ADMIN and the
ioctl sizes the buffer from the rule_cnt userspace passes in, so once an
admin has installed flow steering rules any user can ask for fewer slots
than there are rules and run off the end of the allocation. A rule_cnt
of 0 leaves the buffer pointer NULL and the walk dereferences it.

Bail out with -EMSGSIZE when the buffer fills up, the way the other
ntuple capable drivers do, and report how many locations were filled so
a shrinking rule list does not leave the caller reading stale slots.

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

bpf: Don't predict JMP32 pointer vs zero comparisons

Consider the following program:

At the moment is_branch_taken() reports the jump as always taken,
because it does not distinguish between BPF_JMP and BPF_JMP32
comparisons when processing 'if w1 != 0 ...'.

🚨 CVE-2026-98050
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mlxsw: spectrum_ptp: Fix napi_gro_receive() call from GC workqueue context

Currently mlxsw_sp1_ptp_ht_gc_collect() is run from the PTP
garbage-collection workqueue, rather than the NAPI poll context. For any
unmatched PTP entries carrying an SKB, it calls
mlxsw_sp1_ptp_unmatched_finish() -> mlxsw_sp1_ptp_packet_finish(). For
ingress packets, this calls mlxsw_sp_rx_listener_no_mark_func(). The end
of that function is the following:

skb->protocol = eth_type_trans(skb, skb->dev);
napi_gro_receive(mlxsw_skb_cb(skb)->rx_md_info.napi, skb);

The napi pointer is one that was placed in the SKB control block when the
trapped packet was received in the NAPI context. Later, when the GC reaps
the unmatched entry (up to MLXSW_SP1_PTP_HT_GC_TIMEOUT later), the call to
napi_gro_receive() mutates the NAPI instance's GRO list, which is unsafe
if the poll is running concurrently on another CPU.

In mlxsw_sp1_ptp_ht_gc_collect(), local_bh_disable() is called to prevent
softirq processing, but this only applies to the local CPU. Additionally,
its comment is stale. It states that mlxsw_sp1_ptp_unmatched_finish()
invokes netif_receive_skb(). This has not been accurate since the
referenced commit; this patch makes that comment accurate again.
mlxsw_pci_napi_devs_init() calls netif_threaded_enable() on the NAPI RX
net_device without any conditions. The NAPI instance's poll, which may be
running concurrent to the GC, is running as an independently-scheduled
kthread which may be on a different CPU. The call to local_bh_disable()
does not guard against this.

If a tx-timestamp timeout produces an unmatched entry (which can be easily
reproduced by running ptp4l and waiting for a port to reach the
UNCALIBRATED/SLAVE state) while the owning NAPI thread is in the middle of
a poll on another CPU, both sides mutate the GRO list concurrently, as
shown below:

[39.846] port 1 (swp1): MASTER to UNCALIBRATED on RS_SLAVE
list_add corruption. next->prev should be prev (ffff8d620faf4138), but was ffff8d624150f700. (next=ffff8d620faf4138).

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

The machinery that leads to this kernel panic has not been changed between
6.18.48 and mainline.

This patch adds an ingress-delivery helper for the PTP packet_finish()
path that calls netif_receive_skb() instead of napi_gro_receive().
netif_receive_skb(), unlike napi_gro_receive(), can be called from outside
of the NAPI instance's poll context, which can occur at the call site for
this path. RX stats accounting and the skb->dev assignment are still
preserved; the only change is the delivery call itself.

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

net: bcmasp: clear txcb->last before writing each descriptor

bcmasp_xmit() only wrote txcb->last = true for the final fragment
of an SKB; non-final fragments left the field untouched. If a
descriptor slot was reused while it still held a stale true from
a previous SKB (possible when tx_spb_ring_full() underreported
fullness), bcmasp_tx_reclaim() would see last == true mid-SKB and
call dev_consume_skb_any() prematurely, freeing the sk_buff while
its remaining fragments were still in flight.

Unconditionally clear txcb->last before the conditional set so every
descriptor slot starts from a known false state regardless of what a
prior transmission left behind.

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

nvme: remove stale namespaces by NSID range during scan

nvme_scan_ns_list() drops the stale namespaces in each gap in the
reported NSID list one NSID at a time. Every iteration calls
nvme_find_get_ns() to look the namespace up and removes it if it is
present. The loop runs once per NSID in the gap rather than once per
namespace actually present.

NSIDs are 32-bit, so a target with a sparse NSID space can make a
single gap spin the loop billions of times with nothing to remove.

🚨 CVE-2026-98069
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/rds: acquire the fastpath locks in rds_conn_shutdown()

rds_conn_shutdown() quiesces the transmit and receive-refill paths by
waiting for RDS_IN_XMIT and RDS_RECV_REFILL to be sampled clear, and
then runs the transport shutdown and rds_conn_path_reset(). Sampling
the bits clear is not the same as owning them: the moment after the
wait_event() returns, rds_send_xmit() can re-acquire RDS_IN_XMIT (or
rds_ib_recv_refill() can re-acquire RDS_RECV_REFILL) and run
concurrently with the teardown.

The sender does recheck the connection state after taking the lock,
but that recheck is a classic store-buffering pattern: teardown writes
the state and reads the bit while the sender writes the bit and reads
the state. acquire_in_xmit() is only an acquire operation, so on
weakly ordered architectures both sides can miss each other's write,
and the transmit path then runs while the transport zeroes its rings
(e.g. rds_ib_ring_init()) and rds_send_path_reset() rewrites the
transmit state under it.

Oracle UEK fixed the same class of crashes - a 14-year tail of
BUG_ON()s in rds_ib_sub_signaled(), unexpected op-codes and NULL
dereferences in rds_ib_send_cqe_handler() during failover testing -
by making the teardown path *acquire* the fastpath bit locks instead
of testing them ("rds: Make sure transmit path and connection
tear-down does not run concurrently"). Ownership of a single word is
decided by RMW atomicity, so no cross-variable ordering is needed.

Do the same here: take both locks before calling the transport
shutdown, hold them across rds_conn_path_reset(), and release them
explicitly with a wake-up afterwards. Both are released with
clear_bit_unlock(), so that the ring re-initialization done by the
transport shutdown and the transmit state rewritten by
rds_send_path_reset() are ordered before either bit is seen clear by
the next acquire_in_xmit() or acquire_refill().

The fastpath users of these bits - rds_send_xmit() and
rds_ib_recv_refill() - are trylock style and back off while teardown
owns the locks, so no new lock dependency is introduced for them.
rds_tcp_reset_callbacks() is different: since the previous patch it
acquires RDS_IN_XMIT as well, and it blocks doing so, so its wait now
spans the teardown instead of at most one send batch. That waiter
runs from rds_tcp_accept_one() on the single-threaded krdsd workqueue
and holds rds_tcp_accept_lock and t_conn_path_lock while it waits, so
a duelling SYN accepted while its path is being torn down parks
accept processing for the duration of the teardown - for TCP bounded
by the (up to 5 s) drain loop in rds_tcp_conn_path_shutdown(). An IB
path's drain in rds_ib_conn_path_shutdown() has no round cap, but no
blocking waiter either: rds_tcp_reset_callbacks() is the only blocking
acquirer of these bits and waits only on its own TCP path, and the
fastpaths are trylock-and-back-off on both transports, so a long IB
drain lengthens only that path's own quiesce. The
window is narrow: the accept-side state check has to pass before the
teardown moves the path to RDS_CONN_DISCONNECTING.

Because krdsd is a single global workqueue, everything else queued
there - accept processing for other connections and network
namespaces, and the flush_workqueue(rds_wq) in rds_tcp_listen_stop()
during namespace teardown - waits behind the parked accept worker for
that time. It cannot deadlock, although the waits do point at each
other: the teardown blocks until the bit's holder releases it, and
the holder may be that krdsd accept worker. The holder finishes
without needing anything the teardown owns: the sync cancels
rds_tcp_reset_callbacks() issues target cp_send_w and cp_recv_w on
the path's ordered cp_wq, whose only execution slot is occupied by
the blocked cp_down_w itself, so they are pending at most and cancel
without flushing - a reliance on cp_wq being ordered that is now
noted next to those cancels (on

🚨 CVE-2026-98070
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/rds: acquire RDS_IN_XMIT in rds_tcp_reset_callbacks()

rds_tcp_reset_callbacks() quiesces the transmit path by setting the
path state to RDS_CONN_RESETTING and then waiting for RDS_IN_XMIT to
be sampled clear before swapping the underlying socket and calling
rds_send_path_reset().

Sampling the bit clear is not the same as owning it: rds_send_xmit()
can re-acquire RDS_IN_XMIT right after the wait_event() returns. Its
state recheck after taking the lock is a store-buffering pattern (the
resetter writes the state and reads the bit, the sender writes the
bit and reads the state) and acquire_in_xmit() is only an acquire
operation, so on weakly ordered architectures both sides can miss
each other's write and the transmit path then runs concurrently with
rds_send_path_reset() rewriting cp_xmit_* state - which is exactly
what the comment above rds_send_path_reset() tells its callers to
prevent.

Take the lock instead, hold it across the socket swap and
rds_send_path_reset(), and release it with a wake-up at the end. The
lock-ordering constraint documented above the wait still holds: the
lock is acquired before lock_sock(), so a sender inside tcp_sendmsg()
can never be waited on while we hold the socket lock.

Two details of the old code go away with the same change:

- t_sock is now read only after the lock is acquired. The old code
cached it before waiting; the teardown in rds_conn_shutdown()
releases that socket and clears t_sock, so a pointer cached before
the wait can be stale by the time the accept path resumes. Reading
it under RDS_IN_XMIT is what makes the exclusion complete once the
teardown owns the same lock, which the next patch arranges; until
then the teardown still only samples the bit, and the two paths
remain as exposed to each other as they are today.

- The old !osock early path called rds_send_path_reset() with no
serialization at all. It now runs under the lock like the normal
path. The conditional RDS_CONN_RESETTING transition of the
previous patch happens before the socket check either way: a path
found without a socket is either still connecting (its reconnect
worker blocked on t_conn_path_lock) and legitimately goes
RESETTING -> UP on the new socket, or it has been torn down
meanwhile and is dropped.

The in-function comment describing the old wait-based quiesce is
rewritten to describe the lock-based one, and the stale block comment
above the function (which still described a return value and an
incomplete list of t_sock writers) is refreshed to name all four
writers - the connect, accept, teardown and swap paths - and what
serializes each of them.

net: Remove conflicting altnames for dying netns in __dev_change_net_namespace().

syzbot reported the warning in cfg80211_pernet_exit(). [0]

The repro does the following:

1. create two device in root netns and non-root netns
2. assign the same altname for the two devices
3. remove the non-root netns

Since commit 7663d522099e ("net: check for altname conflicts

cfg802154_switch_netns() fail if init_net has a device with the
conflicting altname.

default_device_exit_net() had the same issue and commit d09486a04f5d
("net: fix removing a namespace with conflicting altnames") fixed it.

cfg80211_pernet_exit() and cfg802154_pernet_exit() need the same fix.

Let's generalise the fix by removing conflicting altnames for dying
netns in __dev_change_net_namespace().

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

btrfs: fix transaction use-after-free in raid stripe insertion

If allocation of a RAID stripe extent fails,
btrfs_insert_one_raid_extent() aborts and ends the transaction before
returning -ENOMEM.

btrfs_finish_one_ordered(), the production caller through
btrfs_insert_raid_extent(), still owns the transaction handle. It handles
the error by aborting the transaction and then reaches the common exit
path, which ends the transaction again.

The premature end can free the handle and drop its transaction reference.
Transaction cleanup can then free the transaction before the caller's
second abort accesses the handle and transaction, resulting in
use-after-free.

Keep the abort at the failure site, but let the caller's common exit path
end the transaction once, after it has finished using both objects.

Bluetooth: L2CAP: fix chan mode for LE_CONN_REQ + EXT_FLOWCTL pchan

l2cap_new_connection() sets default value of channel mode to match the
parent channel. l2cap_le_connect_req() left this at the default, and
created L2CAP_MODE_EXT_FLOWCTL channels if listening pchan has that
mode. This causes FLAG_DEFER_SETUP channels to reply to
L2CAP_LE_CONN_REQ with L2CAP_ECRED_CONN_RSP, which is incorrect.

It can also result to stack OOB write (of l2cap_alloc_cid determined
values) in l2cap_ecred_rsp_defer(), as l2cap_le_connect_req() does not
limit maximum number of deferred channels or check for duplicate ident.

Fix by setting chan->mode correctly in l2cap_le_connect_req().

Also check channel mode in l2cap_ecred_rsp_defer(), and do WARN_ON_ONCE
instead of OOB write to make it less brittle.

dma_bytes, remaps its pages into the VMA, and only then increments
mmap_count.

A concurrent mmap() can therefore slip in between the check and the
free. remap_pfn_range() installs writable PTEs for the old buffer's
pages without taking page references, and the subsequent
do_free_pages() returns those pages to the page allocator while the
VMA still maps them. This leaves a stale, writable mapping of freed
pages: a page-level use-after-free that can be leveraged for local
privilege escalation.

Make snd_pcm_mmap_data() participate in the buffer-access scheme
introduced for hw_params/hw_free: acquire runtime->buffer_accessing
before validating and remapping, and release it afterwards. Buffer
reallocation already fails with -EBUSY while accessors are active,
and the mmap side now fails with -EBUSY while a reallocation is in
progress, so the validate/remap sequence and the check/free sequence
can no longer interleave.

A reproducer that turns this race into a stale writable mapping of
the freed DMA buffer pages is available on request.

🚨 CVE-2026-98122
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

vxlan: mdb: Fix use-after-free in vxlan_mdb_remote_src_del()

vxlan_mdb_is_valid_source(), which validates MDBE_ATTR_SOURCE and every
MDBE_ATTR_SRC_LIST member, accepts the all-zeros address.

A source list is only accepted on a (*, G) entry, whose source is the
all-zeros address, and for each member of the list an (S, G) entry is
derived from it by substituting the source. Entries are keyed by a plain
memcmp() of struct vxlan_mdb_entry_key, so if MDBE_ATTR_SOURCE is present
and holds the all-zeros address and the source list holds it as well, the
derived (S, G) key is byte-identical to the (*, G) key and resolves to the
same entry. Omitting MDBE_ATTR_SOURCE is not equivalent, as the key is
then left with a zero address family.

vxlan_mdb_remote_src_del() removes the forwarding entry of a source before
freeing the source entry:

vxlan_mdb_remote_src_fwd_del(vxlan, group, remote, &ent->addr);
vxlan_mdb_remote_src_entry_del(ent);

With the keys aliased, the first call deletes the remote of the entry that
owns 'ent' instead of a separate (S, G) entry, and frees 'ent'. The second
call then runs on the freed entry, and its hlist_del() reads ->pprev and
->next out of it and writes through them.

Adding the (*, G) entry with NLM_F_REPLACE and no source list marks the
all-zeros source for deletion and reaches this from the sweep at the end
of vxlan_mdb_remote_srcs_replace().

them in a new user and network namespace.

Reject the all-zeros address in vxlan_mdb_is_valid_source(), which covers
both call sites. A (*, G) entry is expressed by omitting the source, so
nothing legitimate is refused.

🚨 CVE-2026-98130
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sctp: fix a TOCTOU race in SCTP_CMD_TIMER_START

The SCTP_CMD_TIMER_START handler checks timer_pending() before calling
timer_reduce(). The timer can expire and detach between these operations,
causing timer_reduce() to rearm the timer without taking the association
reference required for the newly armed timer.

The timer callback later unconditionally drops its association reference,
which can leave the association reference count unbalanced and result in
use-after-free during association teardown.

Use the return value of timer_reduce() to determine whether the timer was
actually armed. Take the association reference only when timer_reduce()
successfully starts a new timer, closing the race between checking the
timer state and rearming it.

This issue was reported by Nico Yip (@_cyeaa_) working with TrendAI Zero
Day Initiative.

🚨 CVE-2026-98143
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

accel: ethosu: Don't read the U65 rounding mode as a storage mode

Bits 15:14 of NPU_SET_{IFM,OFM}_PRECISION select the activation storage
mode on U85 only. On U65 the same field holds the rounding mode, and the
command stream parser has read it as a storage mode since the driver was
added.

That went unnoticed while unknown values fell through the switch, but
now that they are rejected, every U65 command stream that asks for
natural rounding (2) fails CMDSTREAM_BO_CREATE with -EINVAL. Mesa emits
it for average pooling, concatenation, split, unpack, strided slice, LUT
and argmax, which is 72 failures of the Teflon test suite on an i.MX93.
Truncating rounding (1) is misread as well: it picks the two-tile
address path and computes a bogus feature map size from tile bases the
command stream never set.

Read the field as a storage mode only on the hardware where it is one.

🚨 CVE-2026-98150
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bpf: Fix BPF_F_CPU validation for sparse CPU IDs

BPF_F_CPU stores the target CPU ID in the upper 32 bits of the map
operation flags. bpf_map_check_op_flags() currently compares that ID
with num_possible_cpus(), which is the number of possible CPUs rather
than a bound on CPU IDs.

On an arm64 QEMU guest with a CPU device-tree hole, the possible CPU
mask was 0,2-3. A userspace program using raw bpf() syscalls creates
a BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY and performs update and lookup operations
for each CPU by setting BPF_F_CPU and the CPU ID in the flags.

With the old check, CPU 1 is incorrectly accepted while valid CPU 3 is
rejected with -ERANGE. The CPU 1 update then reaches the per-CPU map
access path and triggers:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ...
pc : __pi_memcpy_generic+0x5c/0x22c
lr : bpf_percpu_array_update+0x2dc/0x2e8
Call trace:
__pi_memcpy_generic
bpf_map_update_value
map_update_elem
__sys_bpf

Check the CPU ID against nr_cpu_ids and cpu_possible() instead. This
rejects CPU IDs outside the valid range and CPUs absent from the
possible mask, while allowing valid sparse CPU IDs.

🚨 CVE-2026-98154
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nvme-rdma: fix -EIO cleanup order in queue_rq

On -EIO, the RDMA queue_rq path reports a host path error and then
still cleans up the command and unmaps the SQE DMA. The path error
helper completes the request, so that is double cleanup and DMA unmap
after the request is already complete.

Unmap the SQE first, then report the host path error. Skip the outer
command cleanup on that path.
