CVE-2026-72441 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-08-17 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ieee802154: fix kernel-infoleak in dgram_recvmsg() KMSAN reported a kernel-infoleak in move_addr_to_user(): BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in instrument_copy_to_user include/linux/instrumented.h:131 [inline] BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in _inline_copy_to_user include/linux/uaccess.h:205 [inline] BUG: KMSAN: kernel-infoleak in _copy_to_user+0xcc/0x120 lib/usercopy.c:26 instrument_copy_to_user include/linux/instrumented.h:131 [inline] _inline_copy_to_user include/linux/uaccess.h:205 [inline] _copy_to_user+0xcc/0x120 lib/usercopy.c:26 copy_to_user include/linux/uaccess.h:236 [inline] move_addr_to_user+0x2e7/0x440 net/socket.c:302 ____sys_recvmsg+0x232/0x610 net/socket.c:2925 ... Uninit was stored to memory at: ieee802154_addr_to_sa include/net/ieee802154_netdev.h:369 [inline] dgram_recvmsg+0xa09/0xbe0 net/ieee802154/socket.c:739 The issue occurs because the `pan_id` field of `struct ieee802154_addr` is left uninitialized when the address mode is `IEEE802154_ADDR_NONE`. The execution flow is as follows: 1. `__ieee802154_rx_handle_packet()` declares a local `struct ieee802154_hdr hdr` on the stack. 2. `ieee802154_hdr_pull()` calls `ieee802154_hdr_get_addr()` to parse the source and destination addresses into this structure. 3. If the address mode is `IEEE802154_ADDR_NONE`, `ieee802154_hdr_get_addr()` previously only set the `mode` field, leaving the `pan_id` field containing uninitialized stack memory. 4. This uninitialized `pan_id` is later copied into a `struct sockaddr_ieee802154` in `dgram_recvmsg()` via `ieee802154_addr_to_sa()`. 5. Finally, `move_addr_to_user()` copies the socket address structure to user space, leaking the uninitialized bytes. Fix this by using `memset` to zero out the address structure in `ieee802154_hdr_get_addr()` when the mode is `IEEE802154_ADDR_NONE`.
CVE-2026-72337 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-08-17 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: 6lowpan: avoid untracked enable work lowpan_enable_set() allocates a temporary work item and schedules do_enable_set() on system_wq, then returns to debugfs. The debugfs active operation has ended at that point, but the worker still executes module text and manipulates enable_6lowpan and listen_chan. bt_6lowpan_exit() removes the debugfs files and immediately closes and puts listen_chan. It has no pointer to the queued work item, so it cannot cancel or flush it before tearing down the state that the worker uses. The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path: debugfs enable write module exit 1. lowpan_enable_set() allocates 1. bt_6lowpan_exit() removes set_enable work the debugfs file 2. schedule_work() queues 2. bt_6lowpan_exit() closes do_enable_set() and puts listen_chan 3. the write operation returns 3. module teardown can continue 4. do_enable_set() later runs against stale state Run the enable state transition synchronously in lowpan_enable_set() instead. The simple debugfs setter can sleep, and this file already handles the 6LoWPAN control write synchronously under the same set_lock. Once the setter returns, debugfs removal covers the whole operation and exit can no longer race with an untracked work item. Validation reproduced this kernel report: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in do_enable_set+0x113/0x2e0 Workqueue: events do_enable_set [bluetooth_6lowpan] The buggy address belongs to the object at ffff888109cb8000
CVE-2026-72336 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-08-17 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: 6lowpan: hold L2CAP conn across debugfs control get_l2cap_conn() looks up an LE hci_conn under hdev protection, but then drops that protection before reading hcon->l2cap_data and before lowpan_control_write() later dereferences conn->hcon. A disconnect or device close can tear down the same L2CAP connection in that window. The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path: 6LoWPAN control write: HCI disconnect/device close: 1. get_l2cap_conn() finds hcon 1. hci_disconn_cfm() dispatches and hcon->l2cap_data. the L2CAP disconnect callback. 2. get_l2cap_conn() drops hdev 2. l2cap_conn_del() clears protection and returns conn. hcon->l2cap_data and drops the L2CAP connection reference. 3. lowpan_control_write() reads 3. hci_conn_del() removes and drops conn->hcon. the HCI connection. Take a reference to the L2CAP connection with l2cap_conn_hold_unless_zero() while hdev is still locked, and drop that reference after the debugfs command's last use of conn. This mirrors the existing L2CAP ACL receive-side handoff and keeps the connection dereferenceable after leaving hdev protection. Export the existing helper so the bluetooth_6lowpan module can use the same lifetime primitive.

CVE-2026-72256 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-08-17 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: xt_cluster: reject template conntracks in hash match xt_cluster_mt() treats any non-NULL nf_ct_get() result as a fully initialized conntrack and passes it to xt_cluster_hash(). This causes a state confusion bug when the raw table CT target attaches a template conntrack to skb->_nfct before normal conntrack processing. Templates carry IPS_TEMPLATE status but do not have a valid tuple for hashing yet, so xt_cluster_hash() can hit its WARN_ON() path on the zeroed l3num field. Reject template conntracks before hashing them. This matches existing netfilter handling for template objects and avoids hashing incomplete conntrack state.

CVE-2026-72212 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-08-17 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/memory_hotplug: fix incorrect altmap passing in error path In create_altmaps_and_memory_blocks(), when arch_add_memory() succeeds with memmap_on_memory enabled, the vmemmap pages are allocated from params.altmap. If create_memory_block_devices() subsequently fails, the error path calls arch_remove_memory() with a NULL altmap instead of params.altmap. This is a bug that could lead to memory corruption. Since altmap is NULL, vmemmap_free() falls back to freeing the vmemmap pages into the system buddy allocator via free_pages() instead of the altmap. arch_remove_memory() then immediately destroys the physical linear mapping for this memory. This injects unowned pages into the buddy allocator, causing machine checks or memory corruption if the system later attempts to allocate and use those freed pages. Fix this by passing params.altmap to arch_remove_memory() in the error path.
CVE-2026-72193 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-08-17 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs3: cap RESTART_TABLE free-chain walker at rt->used A crafted NTFS3 disk image triggers an in-kernel infinite loop at mount time, hanging the mounting thread and firing the soft-lockup watchdog within ~22s on multi-CPU hosts (panic with kernel.softlockup_panic=1). The bug is reachable from desktop USB auto-mount on distributions where udisks2 routes the NTFS signature to the in-tree ntfs3 driver (Arch family and an increasing fraction of Fedora / openSUSE / RHEL deployments); CAP_SYS_ADMIN-class manual mount elsewhere. check_rstbl()'s second walker iterates the free-entry singly-linked list headed by rt->first_free with no upper bound on iteration count: for (off = ff; off;) { if (off == RESTART_ENTRY_ALLOCATED) return false; off = le32_to_cpu(*(__le32 *)Add2Ptr(rt, off)); if (off > ts - sizeof(__le32)) return false; } The existing guards cover three exits: end-of-list (off == 0), the in-use marker (off == RESTART_ENTRY_ALLOCATED), and out-of-bounds (off > ts - sizeof(__le32)). None of the three prevents an in-bounds cycle. A crafted on-disk RESTART_TABLE whose free chain contains a self-loop or A->B->A cycle whose offsets satisfy: - in range [sizeof(struct RESTART_TABLE), ts - sizeof(__le32)] - (off - sizeof(struct RESTART_TABLE)) % rsize == 0 passes all existing guards and spins the mount-time thread forever. Reproduced in UML by hand-forging a 2 MB NTFS3 image whose journal RESTART_TABLE first_free = 0x18 and whose entry at offset 0x18 stores 0x18 as its next pointer; mount of the forged image with the in-tree ntfs3 driver never returns. Bound the walker by rt->used. Each entry on a legitimate free chain is unique, and the total slot count is ne = le16_to_cpu (rt->used). A traversal that visits more than ne slots is by construction malformed; reject it as a corrupt RESTART_TABLE. After this patch, mount of the forged image returns with -EINVAL and a log_replay failure message, and mkntfs-produced legitimate images mount cleanly (verified in the same UML harness).
CVE-2026-72187 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-08-17 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs: avoid self-deadlock during inode eviction An attribute-list update performed while allocating clusters can drop the last reference to the temporary attribute inode. Evicting that inode drops its reference to the base inode and can invoke ntfs_drop_big_inode() for the base inode from within the base inode's own writeback path. If the base inode is unlinked, ntfs_drop_big_inode() calls truncate_setsize(), which waits for the inode's folio writeback to complete. The same writeback worker is responsible for completing that writeback, so it waits for itself indefinitely. Prevent this self-deadlock by grabbing a reference to the base inode at the beginning of ntfs_writepages() and releasing it at the end of the function. This defers eviction until all bios have been submitted, allowing the wait for folio writeback to complete safely.
CVE-2026-72177 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-08-17 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: fix dir put orders in access_pattern_add_dirs() Patch series "mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: fix wrong directories put orders in error paths". Error paths of damon_sysfs_access_pattern_add_dirs() and damon_sysfs_scheme_add_dirs() functions put references to directories in wrong orders. As a result, uninitialized memory dereference and/or memory leak can happen. Fix those. This patch (of 2): In access_pattern_add_dirs(), error handling path puts references starting from setup failed directories. If the failure happpened from the initial allication in the setup functions, uninitialized memory dereference happen. The allocation failures will not commonly happen, but the consequence is quite bad. Fix the wrong reference put orders. The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
CVE-2026-72176 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-08-17 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: put stats for scheme_add_dirs() internal error damon_sysfs_scheme_add_dirs() setup the tried_regions directory after the stats directory setup is completed. When the tried_regions directory setup is failed, the setup function ensures the reference for the tried regions directory is released. Hence the error path should put references on setup succeeded directory objects, starting from the stats directory. However, the error path is putting the tried_regions directory instead of the stats directory. As a direct result, the stats directory object is leaked. Worse yet, if the tried_regions directory setup failed from the initial allocation, the scheme->tried_regions field remains uninitialized. The following kobject_put(&scheme->tried_regions->kobj) call in the error path will dereference the uninitialized memory. The setup failures should not be common. But once it happens, the consequence is quite bad. Fix this issue by correctly putting the stats directory instead of the tried_regions directory. The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko.
CVE-2026-72174 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-08-17 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs/proc/task_mmu: fix hugetlb self-deadlock in pagemap_scan_pte_hole() A PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl requesting PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING on a hugetlb VMA hangs the calling thread, unkillably, as soon as the scan reaches an unpopulated part of the range: do_pagemap_scan() walk_page_range() walk_hugetlb_range() hugetlb_vma_lock_read() # take the vma lock for read ... pagemap_scan_pte_hole() # ... ->pte_hole() for a hole uffd_wp_range() change_protection() hugetlb_change_protection() hugetlb_vma_lock_write() # ... and block taking it for write walk_hugetlb_range() holds the hugetlb vma lock for read across the whole walk. A present entry goes to ->hugetlb_entry(); an unpopulated one goes to ->pte_hole(), i.e. pagemap_scan_pte_hole(). To write-protect the hole that handler calls uffd_wp_range(), which on a hugetlb VMA reaches hugetlb_change_protection() and takes the same vma lock for write. The thread then blocks in down_write() waiting for the read lock it is itself holding. The populated path avoids this: pagemap_scan_hugetlb_entry() write-protects the entry inline under the page-table lock and never enters hugetlb_change_protection(). Do the same for holes. Fault in the page table and install the uffd-wp marker directly with make_uffd_wp_huge_pte() under the page-table lock, rather than routing through uffd_wp_range(). That is the same sequence hugetlb_change_protection() runs for an unpopulated entry, minus the vma write lock -- which is safe to skip because PMD sharing is disabled on uffd-wp VMAs (hugetlb_unshare_all_pmds() runs at registration), leaving nothing for that lock to serialise against.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mtd: maps: vmu-flash: fix fault in unaligned fixup Use kzalloc_obj() / kzalloc_objs() to allocate the memcard structs, instead of kmalloc_obj() / kmalloc_objs() to prevent access to uninitialized data.

CVE-2026-72166 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-08-17 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/9p: fix infinite loop in p9_client_rpc on fatal signal When p9_client_rpc() is called with type P9_TFLUSH and the transport has no peer (e.g. fd transport backed by pipes with no 9p server), a fatal signal causes an infinite loop: again: err = io_wait_event_killable(req->wq, ...) /* SIGKILL wakes the task, returns -ERESTARTSYS */ if (err == -ERESTARTSYS && c->status == Connected && type == P9_TFLUSH) { sigpending = 1; clear_thread_flag(TIF_SIGPENDING); goto again; } clear_thread_flag() clears TIF_SIGPENDING before jumping back to io_wait_event_killable(). signal_pending_state() checks TIF_SIGPENDING, finds it zero, and the task goes to sleep again. The task can only wake on the next signal delivery that calls signal_wake_up() and sets TIF_SIGPENDING again. When that happens the loop repeats, clears TIF_SIGPENDING, and sleeps again indefinitely. This is triggered in practice by coredump_wait(): when a thread in a multi-threaded process causes a coredump (e.g. via SIGSYS from Syscall User Dispatch), coredump_wait() sends SIGKILL to all other threads and waits for them to call mm_release(). If one of those threads is blocked in p9_client_rpc() over an fd transport with no peer, it enters the P9_TFLUSH loop and never calls mm_release(), so coredump_wait() stalls forever: INFO: task syz.0.18:676 blocked for more than 143 seconds. Not tainted 6.12.77+ #1 task:syz.0.18 state:D stack:27600 pid:676 tgid:673 ppid:630 flags:0x00000004 Call Trace: <TASK> context_switch kernel/sched/core.c:5344 [inline] __schedule+0xcb4/0x5d50 kernel/sched/core.c:6724 __schedule_loop kernel/sched/core.c:6801 [inline] schedule+0xe5/0x350 kernel/sched/core.c:6816 schedule_timeout+0x253/0x290 kernel/time/timer.c:2593 do_wait_for_common kernel/sched/completion.c:95 [inline] __wait_for_common+0x409/0x600 kernel/sched/completion.c:116 wait_for_common kernel/sched/completion.c:127 [inline] wait_for_completion_state+0x1d/0x40 kernel/sched/completion.c:264 coredump_wait fs/coredump.c:448 [inline] do_coredump+0x854/0x4350 fs/coredump.c:629 get_signal+0x1425/0x2730 kernel/signal.c:2903 arch_do_signal_or_restart+0x81/0x880 arch/x86/kernel/signal.c:337 exit_to_user_mode_loop kernel/entry/common.c:111 [inline] exit_to_user_mode_prepare include/linux/entry-common.h:328 [inline] __syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work kernel/entry/common.c:207 [inline] syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0xf9/0x160 kernel/entry/common.c:218 do_syscall_64+0x102/0x220 arch/x86/entry/common.c:84 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f </TASK> Fix: check fatal_signal_pending() before clearing TIF_SIGPENDING in the P9_TFLUSH retry loop. At that point TIF_SIGPENDING is still set, so fatal_signal_pending() works correctly. If a fatal signal is pending, jump to recalc_sigpending to restore TIF_SIGPENDING and return -ERESTARTSYS to the caller. The same defect is present in stable kernels back to 5.4. On those kernels the infinite loop is broken earlier by a second SIGKILL from the parent process (e.g. kill_and_wait() retrying after a timeout), resulting in a zombie process and a shutdown delay rather than a permanent D-state hang, but the underlying flaw is the same. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
CVE-2026-72158 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-08-17 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fpga: dfl: add bounds check in dfh_get_param_size() dfh_get_param_size() can return a parameter size larger than the feature region because the loop bounds check is evaluated before incrementing size. If the EOP (End of Parameters) bit is set in the same iteration, the inflated size is returned without re-validation against max. This can cause create_feature_instance() to call memcpy_fromio() with a size exceeding the ioremap'd region when a malicious FPGA device provides crafted DFHv1 parameter headers. Add a bounds check after the size increment to ensure the accumulated size never exceeds the feature boundary.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tpm: tpm_tis_spi: Use wait_woken() in wait_for_tmp_stat() wait_event_interruptible_timeout() evaluates its condition after setting the current task state to TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE. With CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP this triggers a warning when the IRQ wait path is used: tpm_tis_status() tpm_tis_spi_read_bytes() tpm_tis_spi_transfer_full() spi_bus_lock() mutex_lock() Address this with the following measures: 1. Call wait_tpm_stat_cond() only while tasking is running. 2. Use wait_woken() to wait for changes.
CVE-2026-72117 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-08-17 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: bcm: fix data race on rx_stamp/rx_ifindex in bcm_rx_handler() For an rx op subscribed on all interfaces (ifindex == 0), the same op is registered once in the shared per-netns wildcard filter list, so bcm_rx_handler() can run concurrently on different CPUs for frames arriving on different net devices. op->rx_stamp and op->rx_ifindex were written before bcm_rx_update_lock was taken, allowing concurrent writers to race each other - including a torn store of the 64-bit rx_stamp on 32-bit platforms. Beyond a torn store bcm_send_to_user() must report the timestamp/ifindex of the very same frame whose content it is delivering. So the assignment is placed in the same unbroken bcm_rx_update_lock section as the content comparison. As a side effect, the RTR-request frame feature (which never reach bcm_send_to_user()) no longer updates rx_stamp/rx_ifindex, since only the notification path needs them.
CVE-2026-72079 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-08-17 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: ims-pcu - fix use-after-free and double-free in disconnect ims_pcu_disconnect() only intended to perform cleanup when the primary (control) interface is unbound. However, it currently relies on the interface class to distinguish between control and data interfaces. A malicious device could present a data interface with the same class as the control interface, leading to premature cleanup and potential use-after-free or double-free. Switch to verifying that the interface being disconnected is indeed the control interface.
CVE-2026-72074 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-08-17 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: ims-pcu - fix type confusion in CDC union descriptor parsing The driver currently trusts the bMasterInterface0 from the CDC union descriptor without verifying that it matches the interface being probed. This could lead to the driver overwriting the private data of another interface. Validate that the control interface found in the descriptor is indeed the one we are probing.
CVE-2026-72070 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-08-17 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: libertas_tf: fix use-after-free in lbtf_free_adapter() lbtf_free_adapter() calls timer_delete(&priv->command_timer), which does not wait for a running command_timer_fn() callback. lbtf_free_adapter() runs on the teardown path right before ieee80211_free_hw() frees priv, both in lbtf_remove_card() and in the probe error path. command_timer is armed by mod_timer() in lbtf_cmd() whenever a firmware command is sent. command_timer_fn() dereferences priv. If a command times out as the device is removed, command_timer_fn() runs concurrently with teardown and dereferences priv after it has been freed. This is the same use-after-free that commit 03cc8f90d053 ("wifi: libertas: fix use-after-free in lbs_free_adapter()") fixed in the sibling libertas driver. The libertas_tf variant has the identical pattern and was left unchanged. Use timer_delete_sync() so any in-flight callback completes before priv is freed.
CVE-2026-72047 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-08-17 5.5 Medium
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ieee802154: ca8210: fix pointer truncation in kfifo on 64-bit ca8210_test_int_driver_write() and ca8210_test_int_user_read() exchange a kmalloc'd buffer pointer through a struct kfifo, but pass a literal '4' as the byte count to kfifo_in()/kfifo_out(). This is correct on 32-bit (pointer = 4 bytes), but on 64-bit only the low 4 bytes of the 8-byte pointer are written into the FIFO. The reader then reads back 4 bytes into an 8-byte local pointer variable, leaving the upper 4 bytes uninitialized stack data. The first dereference of the reconstructed pointer (fifo_buffer[1]) accesses an arbitrary kernel address and generally results in an oops. Use sizeof(fifo_buffer) so the byte count matches pointer width on every architecture. The driver has no architecture restriction in Kconfig, so any 64-bit build with CONFIG_IEEE802154_CA8210_DEBUGFS=y is exposed. Issue has been latent since the driver was added in 2017 because it is most commonly deployed on 32-bit MCUs. Found via a custom Coccinelle semantic patch hunting for short-byte kfifo I/O on byte-mode kfifos used to shuttle pointers.
