Medium [CVE-2026-53352] clear JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK for caller in zap_other_threads
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: signal: clear JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK for caller in zap_other_threads() When a multi-threaded process receives a stop signal (e.g., SIGSTOP), do_signal_stop() sets JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING and JOBCTL_STOP_CONSUME on all threads and sets signal->group_stop_count to the number of threads. If one of the threads concurrently calls execve(), de_thread() invokes zap_other_threads() to kill all other threads. zap_other_threads() aborts the pending group stop by resetting signal->group_stop_count to 0 and clears the JOBCTL_PENDING_MASK for all other threads. However, it fails to clear the job control flags for the calling thread. When execve() completes, the calling thread returns to user mode and checks for pending signals. Seeing the stale JOBCTL_STOP_PENDING flag, it calls do_signal_stop(), which invokes task_participate_group_stop(). This aligns with other functions that tear down a thread group and abort group stops, such as zap_process() and complete_signal(), which correctly clear these flags for all threads including the current one. This can occur when a multi-threaded process receives a stop signal, and one of its threads concurrently calls `execve()`. The un-cleared flags can lead to an attempt to decrement an already-zero counter, triggering a kernel warning and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
Medium [CVE-2026-53348] fix NULL pointer dereference in sdca_dev_unregister_functions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: SDCA: fix NULL pointer dereference in sdca_dev_unregister_functions sdca_dev_unregister_functions() iterates over all SDCA function descriptors and calls sdca_dev_unregister() on each func_dev without checking for NULL. When a function registration has failed partway through, or the device cleanup races with probe deferral, func_dev entries may be NULL, leading to a kernel oops: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000040 RIP: 0010:device_del+0x1e/0x3e0 Call Trace: sdca_dev_unregister_functions+0x37/0x60 [snd_soc_sdca] release_nodes+0x35/0xb0 devres_release_all+0x90/0x100 device_unbind_cleanup+0xe/0x80 device_release_driver_internal+0x1c1/0x200 bus_remove_device+0xc6/0x130 device_del+0x161/0x3e0 device_unregister+0x17/0x60 sdw_delete_slave+0xb6/0xd0 [soundwire_bus] sdw_bus_master_delete+0x1e/0x50 [soundwire_bus]... sof_probe_work+0x19/0x30 [snd_sof] This was observed on a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G14 (Panther Lake) with the SOF audio driver probe failing due to missing Panther Lake firmware, causing the subsequent cleanup of SoundWire devices to trigger the crash. Fix this with three changes: 1) Add a NULL guard in sdca_dev_unregister() so that callers do not need to pre-validate the pointer (defense in depth).
Medium [CVE-2026-53344] Initialize mcp->dev and mcp->addr before regmap init
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinctrl: mcp23s08: Initialize mcp->dev and mcp->addr before regmap init Regmap initialization triggers regcache_maple_populate() which attempts SPI read to populate cache. SPI read requires mcp->dev and mcp->addr to be set, without them, NULL pointer dereference occurs during probe. Move initialization before mcp23s08_spi_regmap_init() call. During the initialization of the `regmap` (register map) for the `mcp23s08` component, an attempt to perform an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) read occurs before critical device parameters (`mcp->dev` and `mcp->addr`) are properly set. This premature access leads to a NULL pointer dereference, which can cause a system crash and result in a Denial of Service (DoS). Red Hat severity: Moderate. Weakness: CWE-476. Red Hat lists Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 as not affected.
Medium [CVE-2026-53342] call pagetable dtor when freeing hot-removed page tables
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arm64: mm: call pagetable dtor when freeing hot-removed page tables Since 5e8eb9aeeda3 ("arm64: mm: always call PTE/PMD ctor in __create_pgd_mapping()") page-table allocation on ARM64 always calls pagetable_{pte,pmd,pud,p4d}_ctor(). This sets the page_type to PGTY_table, increments NR_PAGETABLE and possible allocates a PTL. However the matching pagetable_dtor() calls were never added. With DEBUG_VM enabled on kernel versions prior to v6.17 without 2dfcd1608f3a9 ("mm/page_alloc: let page freeing clear any set page type") this leads to the following warning when freeing these pages due to page->page_type sharing page->_mapcount: BUG: Bad page state in process... pfn:284fbb page: refcount:0 mapcount:0 mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:0x284fbb flags: 0x17fffc000000000(node=0|zone=2|lastcpupid=0x1ffff) page_type: f2(table) page dumped because: nonzero mapcount Call trace: bad_page+0x13c/0x160 __free_frozen_pages+0x6cc/0x860 ___free_pages+0xf4/0x180 free_pages+0x54/0x80 free_hotplug_page_range.part.0+0x58/0x90 free_empty_tables+0x438/0x500 __remove_pgd_mapping.constprop.0+0x60/0xa8 arch_remove_memory+0x48/0x80 try_remove_memory+0x158/0x1d8 offline_and_remove_memory+0x138/0x180 It can also lead to leaking the ptl allocation if ALLOC_SPLIT_PTLOCKS is defined and incorrect NR_PAGETABLE stats.
Medium [CVE-2026-53326] Don't call fill_pool in early boot hardirq context
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: debugobjects: Don't call fill_pool() in early boot hardirq context When booting a debug PREEMPT_RT kernel on an ARM64 system, a "inconsistent {HARDIRQ-ON-W} -> {IN-HARDIRQ-W} usage" lockdep warning message was reported to the console. During early boot, interrupts are enabled before the scheduler is enabled. In this window (before SYSTEM_SCHEDULING is set) interrupts can fire and in the hard interrupt context handler attempt to fill the pool This can lead to a deadlock when the interrupt occurred when the interrupt hits a region which holds a lock that is required to be taken in the allocation path. Add a new can_fill_pool() helper and reorder the exception rule and forbid this scenario by excluding allocations from hard interrupt context. This issue can cause the system to become unresponsive. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-833. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: kernel.
Medium [CVE-2026-53339] Fix NULL pointer dereference in cci_remove
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i2c: qcom-cci: Fix NULL pointer dereference in cci_remove() On all modern platforms Qualcomm CCI controller provides two I2C masters, and on particular boards only one I2C master may be initialized, and in such cases the device unbinding or driver removal causes a NULL pointer dereference, because cci_halt() is called for all two I2C masters, but a completion is initialized only for the single enabled master: % rmmod i2c-qcom-cci Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 Call trace: __wait_for_common+0x194/0x1a8 (P) wait_for_completion_timeout+0x20/0x2c cci_remove+0xc4/0x138 [i2c_qcom_cci] platform_remove+0x20/0x30 device_remove+0x4c/0x80 device_release_driver_internal+0x1c8/0x224 driver_detach+0x50/0x98 bus_remove_driver+0x6c/0xbc driver_unregister+0x30/0x60 platform_driver_unregister+0x14/0x20 qcom_cci_driver_exit+0x18/0x1008 [i2c_qcom_cci].... This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference, potentially causing a system crash or denial of service. A local attacker could exploit this by triggering the driver removal under specific conditions. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-476. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.
Medium [CVE-2026-53331] Avoid ABBA on tx_lock/ctrl->lock
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: slimbus: qcom-ngd-ctrl: Avoid ABBA on tx_lock/ctrl->lock During the SSR/PDR down notification the tx_lock is taken with the intent to provide synchronization with active DMA transfers. But during this period qcom_slim_ngd_down() is invoked, which ends up in slim_report_absent(), which takes the slim_controller lock. In multiple other codepaths these two locks are taken in the opposite order (i.e. slim_controller then tx_lock). The result is a lockdep splat, and a possible deadlock: rprocctl/449 is trying to acquire lock: ffff00009793e620 (&ctrl->lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: slim_report_absent (drivers/slimbus/core.c:322) slimbus but task is already holding lock: ffff00009793fb50 (&ctrl->tx_lock){+.+.}-{4:4}, at: qcom_slim_ngd_ssr_pdr_notify (drivers/slimbus/qcom-ngd-ctrl.c:1475) slim_qcom_ngd_ctrl which lock already depends on the new lock. Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&ctrl->tx_lock); lock(&ctrl->lock); lock(&ctrl->tx_lock); lock(&ctrl->lock); The assumption is that the comment refers to the desire to not call qcom_slim_ngd_exit_dma() while we have an ongoing DMA TX transaction. But any such transaction is initiated and completed within a single qcom_slim_ngd_xfer_msg().
Medium [CVE-2026-53327] Do not fill_pool if pi_blocked_on
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: debugobjects: Do not fill_pool() if pi_blocked_on On RT enabled kernels, fill_pool() ends up calling rtlock_lock(), which asserts if current::pi_blocked_on is set, because a task can obviously only block on one lock as otherwise the priority inheritenace chain gets corrupted. Prevent this by expanding the conditional to take current::pi_blocked_on into account. On systems with Real-Time (RT) enabled kernels, the `fill_pool()` function can lead to a system assertion if a task is already blocked on a lock, causing corruption of the priority inheritance chain. This issue can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) due to the system asserting. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-367. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: kernel-rt.
Medium [CVE-2026-53350] Fix NULL dereference when removing firmware controls
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: wm_adsp: Fix NULL dereference when removing firmware controls In wm_adsp_control_remove() check that the priv pointer is not NULL before attempting to cleanup what it points to. When cs_dsp creates a control it calls wm_adsp_control_add_cb() so that wm_adsp can create its own private control data. There are two cases where private data is not created: 1. The control is a SYSTEM control, so an ALSA control is not created. 2. The codec driver has registered a control_add() callback that hides the control, so wm_adsp_control_add() is not called. When cs_dsp_remove destroys its control list it calls wm_adsp_control_remove() for each control. But wm_adsp_control_remove() was attempting to cleanup the private data pointed to by cs_ctl->priv without checking the pointer for NULL. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ASoC) Wolfson Microelectronics Audio Digital Signal Processor (wm_adsp) driver. This can occur when certain controls are created without associated private data. An attacker could potentially trigger a NULL dereference, leading to system instability or a Denial of Service (DoS). Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-476.
Medium [CVE-2026-53347] Fix driver removal with disabled KMS
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/virtio: Fix driver removal with disabled KMS DRM atomic and modesetting aren't initialized if virtio-gpu driver built with disabled KMS, leading to access of uninitialized data on driver removal/unbinding and crashing kernel. Fix it by skipping shutting down atomic core with unavailable KMS. When the virtio-gpu driver is configured with Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) disabled, the display-related atomic and modesetting components are not properly initialized. This can lead to the system attempting to access uninitialized data during driver removal or unbinding, resulting in a kernel crash. This vulnerability could potentially lead to a denial of service. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-824. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: kernel-rt.
Medium [CVE-2026-53340] fix clock and pinctrl state inconsistency in runtime PM
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i2c: imx: fix clock and pinctrl state inconsistency in runtime PM In i2c_imx_runtime_suspend(), the clock is disabled before switching the pinctrl state to sleep. If pinctrl_pm_select_sleep_state() fails, the runtime suspend is aborted but the clock remains disabled, causing a system crash when the hardware is subsequently accessed. Fix this by switching the pinctrl state before disabling the clock so that a pinctrl failure leaves the clock enabled and the hardware accessible. In i2c_imx_runtime_resume(), restore the pinctrl state back to sleep if clk_enable() fails to keep the consistent. During runtime power management, an inconsistency between the clock and pinctrl states can occur. If the pinctrl state fails to switch to sleep mode after the clock is disabled, the clock remains off. This can lead to a system crash when the hardware attempts to access the disabled clock, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-367. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: kernel.
Medium [CVE-2026-53337] fix NULL pointer dereference in bond_do_ioctl
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: bonding: fix NULL pointer dereference in bond_do_ioctl() In bond_do_ioctl(), slave_dev is obtained via __dev_get_by_name() which can return NULL if the requested interface name does not exist. However, the subsequent slave_dbg() call is placed before the NULL check: slave_dev = __dev_get_by_name(net, ifr->ifr_slave); slave_dbg(bond_dev, slave_dev, "slave_dev=%p:\n", slave_dev); //here if (!slave_dev) return -ENODEV; The slave_dbg() macro expands to netdev_dbg(bond_dev, "(slave %s): " fmt, (slave_dev)->name,...) which unconditionally dereferences slave_dev->name before the NULL check is performed. This results in a NULL pointer dereference kernel oops when a user calls bonding ioctl (e.g. SIOCBONDENSLAVE, SIOCBONDRELEASE, etc.) with a non-existent slave interface name. This is reachable from userspace via the bonding ioctl interface with CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, making it a potential local denial-of-service vector. This vulnerability can lead to a kernel oops, resulting in a local Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-476. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.
Low [CVE-2026-48978] Information disclosure and TLS downgrade via malicious registry realm
oras-go is a Go library for managing OCI artifacts. Prior to 2.6.1, auth. Client follows the realm URL from a registry's WWW-Authenticate: Bearer challenge without validating the scheme or host, allowing a malicious or compromised registry to cause SSRF to internal networks such as,, and, or to downgrade a registry contacted over https:// to an http:// token endpoint in registry/remote/auth/client.go through Client.Do(), Client.fetchBearerToken(), fetchDistributionToken, and fetchOAuth2Token. This issue is fixed in version 2.6.1. A flaw was found in oras-go. A remote attacker, operating a malicious registry or performing a man-in-the-middle attack, could exploit this to perform Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) against internal networks, potentially disclosing sensitive information. Additionally, the flaw could lead to a Transport Layer Security (TLS) downgrade, causing user credentials to be sent over plaintext. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 3.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N). Weakness: CWE-918. Affected Red Hat products: Gatekeeper 3; Multicluster Global Hub; OpenShift Service Mesh 3; Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4; Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.2; Red Hat OpenStack Platform 17.1; Red Hat OpenStack Platform 18.0. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.
Low [CVE-2026-54786] Leak in WASIp1 `fd_renumber` implementation
Wasmtime is a runtime for WebAssembly. All versions prior to 24.0.10; versions 25.0.0 through those before 36.0.11; versions 37.0.0 through those before 44.0.3; and versions 45.0.0 and 45.0.1 contain a native implementation of WASIp1 which suffers from a leak in the fd_renumber function where the file descriptor being renumbered to is not properly closed. Wasmtime's implementation erroneously only updated the table of descriptors for WASIp1 and didn't update the underlying table of descriptors used by the host. This behavior means that while fd_renumber works correctly from a guest's perspective it ends up leaking resources in the host that aren't cleaned up until the corresponding Store is destroyed. In a loop, guests can use fd_renumber to cause hosts to exhaust both resources and file descriptors. This bug only affects the native implementation of WASIp1, meaning that only runtimes which load core wasm modules and expose fd_renumber are affected. Runtimes are additionally only affected if they expose the ability to acquire a file descriptor, such as opening a file. For runtimes that deny access to files they are unaffected. This issue has been fixed in versions 24.0.10, 36.0.11, 44.0.3, and 45.0.2. Its native implementation of WASIp1, a system interface for WebAssembly, contains a resource leak in the fd_renumber function.
Low [CVE-2026-58038] Cross-site Scripting vulnerability
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (XSS or 'Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Wikimedia Foundation timeline. This vulnerability is associated with program files includes/Timeline. Php, scripts/EasyTimeline.Pl. This issue affects timeline: from * before 1.46.0, 1.45.4, 1.44.6, 1.43.9. A flaw was found in the Wikimedia Foundation Timeline component. This cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject malicious scripts into web pages. Successful exploitation could lead to significant impacts such as information disclosure, session hijacking, or defacement of affected web pages. While a remote attacker could inject malicious scripts, successful exploitation typically requires specific user interaction or a highly customized environment, limiting its broader applicability in standard Red Hat deployments. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 3.7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N). Weakness: CWE-79.
Advisory [CVE-2026-53346] set uwtable llvm module flag for CONFIG_UNWIND_TABLES
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rust: arm64: set uwtable llvm module flag for CONFIG_UNWIND_TABLES Due to a rustc bug [1] the -Cforce-unwind-tables=y flag only emits the uwtable annotation for functions, but not for the module. This means that compiler-generated functions such as 'asan.module_ctor' do not receive the uwtable annotation. When CONFIG_UNWIND_PATCH_PAC_INTO_SCS is enabled, this leads to boot failures because the dwarf information emitted for the kasan constructors is wrong, which causes the SCS boot patching code to patch the constructor in an illegal manner. Specifically, the paciasp instruction is patched, but the autiasp instruction is not. This mismatch leads to a crash when the constructor is called during boot. ================================================================== BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in do_basic_setup+0x4c/0x90 Read of size 8 at addr ffffffe3cc7eb488 by task swapper/0/1 Specifically the faulting instruction is the (*fn)() to invoke the constructor in do_ctors() of the init/main.c file. Once the fix lands in rustc, this flag can be made conditional on the rustc version. Note that passing the flag on a rustc with the fix present has no effect. [ The fix [1] has landed for Rust 1.98.0 (expected release on 2026-08-20).
Advisory [CVE-2026-53338] Add NULL check for of_reserved_mem_lookup in airoha_qdma_init_hfwd_queues
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: airoha: Add NULL check for of_reserved_mem_lookup() in airoha_qdma_init_hfwd_queues() of_reserved_mem_lookup() may return NULL if the reserved memory region referenced by the "memory-region" phandle is not found in the reserved memory table (e.g. due to a misconfigured DTS or a removed memory-region node). The current code dereferences the returned pointer without checking for NULL, leading to a kernel NULL pointer dereference at the following lines: dma_addr = rmem->base; // line 1156 num_desc = div_u64(rmem->size, buf_size); // line 1160 Add a NULL check after of_reserved_mem_lookup() and return -ENODEV if the lookup fails, which is consistent with the existing error handling for of_parse_phandle() failure in the same code block. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Airoha QDMA driver. This can result in a system crash, causing a Denial of Service (DoS) for an affected system. Red Hat severity: not rated. Weakness: CWE-476. Red Hat lists Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 as not affected.
Advisory [CVE-2026-53343] use byte load for KASAN VMAP stack shadow
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ARM: 9475/1: entry: use byte load for KASAN VMAP stack shadow Commit 44e9a3bb76e5 ("ARM: 9430/1: entry: Do a dummy read from VMAP shadow") added a dummy read from the KASAN VMAP stack shadow in __switch_to(). The read uses ldr, but the KASAN shadow address is byte-granular and is not guaranteed to be word aligned. ARMv5 faults unaligned word loads. With CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC and CONFIG_VMAP_STACK enabled, ARM926/VersatilePB crashes in __switch_to() with an alignment exception before reaching init. The code only needs to fault in the shadow mapping if the stack shadow is missing, so a byte load is sufficient and matches the granularity of KASAN shadow memory. On ARMv5 systems configured with Kernel Address Sanitizer (KASAN) for virtual memory allocated (VMAP) stack shadow, a memory access operation could attempt to read data from an unaligned memory address. This unaligned access leads to an alignment exception, causing the system to crash. This vulnerability results in a Denial of Service (DoS) for affected systems. Red Hat severity: not rated. Weakness: CWE-468. Red Hat lists Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 as not affected.
Advisory [CVE-2026-53334] handle ctx allocation failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/reclaim: handle ctx allocation failure Patch series "mm/damon/{reclaim,lru_sort}: handle ctx allocation failures". DAMON_RECLAIM and DAMON_LRU_SORT could dereference NULL pointers if their damon_ctx object allocations fail. The bugs are expected to happen infrequently because the allocations are arguably too small to fail on common setups. But theoretically they are possible and the consequences are bad. Fix those. The issues were discovered [1] by Sashiko. This patch (of 2): DAMON_RECLAIM allocates the damon_ctx object for its kdamond in its init function. damon_reclaim_enabled_store() wrongly assumes the allocation will always succeed once tried. If the damon_ctx allocation was failed, therefore, code execution reaches to damon_commit_ctx() while 'ctx' is NULL. As a result, it dereferences the NULL 'ctx' pointer. Avoid the NULL dereference by returning -ENOMEM if 'ctx' is NULL. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Data Access Monitor (DAMON) reclaim and Least Recently Used (LRU) sort mechanisms. This vulnerability arises from an incorrect assumption that a memory allocation will always succeed. If the allocation fails, a NULL pointer is dereferenced, which can lead to system instability or a denial of service.
Advisory [CVE-2026-53345] Don't WARN if memory is dirtied without a vCPU when the VM is dying
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: Don't WARN if memory is dirtied without a vCPU when the VM is dying When marking a page dirty, complain about not having a running/loaded vCPU if and only if the VM is still alive, i.e. its refcount is non-zero. This will allow fixing a memory leak for x86 SEV-ES guests without hitting what is effectively a false positive on the WARN. For some SEV-ES VM-Exits, KVM keeps a writable mapping of a guest page across an exit to userspace, and typically unmaps the page on the next KVM_RUN. But if userspace never calls KVM_RUN after such an exit, then KVM needs to unmap the page when the vCPU is destroyed, which in turn triggers the WARN about not having a running vCPU. Alternatively, SEV-ES could temporarily load the vCPU to suppress the WARN, as is done in nested_vmx_free_vcpu() (but for completely unrelated reasons; suppressing WARN from nested_put_vmcs12_pages() is pure happenstance). But loading a vCPU during destruction is gross (ideally nVMX code would be cleaned up), risks complicating the SEV-ES code (KVM would need to ensure the temporarily load()+put() only runs when the vCPU isn't already loaded), and is ultimately pointless.
