Latest Red Hat Linux Kernel advisories
Medium [CVE-2026-72299] restrict socket queue dumps in enqueue tracepoints
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tipc: restrict socket queue dumps in enqueue tracepoints tipc_sk_enqueue() runs with sk->sk_lock.slock held while the socket is owned by user context. The spinlock protects the backlog queue in this path, but it does not serialize against the socket owner consuming or purging sk_receive_queue. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9; Red Hat package: kernel-rt.
Medium [CVE-2026-72257] fix NULL pointer dereference in graph_callback
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: qcom: q6apm: fix NULL pointer dereference in graph_callback When q6apm_free_fragments() is called it frees rx_data.buf/tx_data.buf and sets them to NULL under graph->lock. A late DSP buffer-done response can race with this: graph_callback() passes the!graph->ar_graph guard (not yet NULL), acquires the lock, but then dereferences a now-NULL buf pointer to read buf[token].phys, crashing at virtual address 0x10. Add a NULL check for buf inside the mutex-protected section in both the write-done (DATA_CMD_RSP_WR_SH_MEM_EP_DATA_BUFFER_DONE_V2) and read-done (DATA_CMD_RSP_RD_SH_MEM_EP_DATA_BUFFER_V2) handlers and bail out cleanly if buffers have already been freed. This problem is only shown up recently while apr bus was updated to process the commands per service rather from single global queue. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ASoC (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture System on Chip) qcom q6apm component. A race condition can occur when the q6apm_free_fragments() function frees audio buffers while graph_callback() attempts to access a freed buffer due to a late Digital Signal Processor (DSP) response. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference, causing the system to crash and 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).
Medium [CVE-2026-72312] fix VF bringup affecting PF promiscuous state
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: octeontx2-af: fix VF bringup affecting PF promiscuous state Mbox handling of nix_set_rx_mode for a VF with promiscuous and all_multi flags set to false causes deletion of the PF's promiscuous and allmulti MCAM rules. This occurs because the APIs that enable/disable these rules operate only on the PF, even when the mbox request is made via a VF interface. Guard both rvu_npc_enable_allmulti_entry() and rvu_npc_enable_promisc_entry() disable paths with an is_vf() check so that a VF bringing up or tearing down its interface cannot inadvertently clear the PF's MCAM rules. A Virtual Function (VF), which is a virtualized network interface, can inadvertently disable the promiscuous and all-multicast (all_multi) modes of the Physical Function (PF) network interface. This occurs because the underlying application programming interfaces (APIs) that control these modes operate globally on the PF, even when a request originates from a VF. An attacker with control over a VF could potentially disrupt network traffic monitoring or multicast communication on the PF, leading to a denial of service or information disclosure. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-266. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.
Medium [CVE-2026-72224] Free arenas on btt_init error paths
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvdimm/btt: Free arenas on btt_init() error paths The arenas allocated by discover_arenas() or create_arenas() are not freed on some error paths in btt_init(). This leaks memory when BTT initialization fails. Call free_arenas() from the affected error paths to release the allocations. [ as: commit message and log edits ] This oversight can lead to a memory leak, potentially impacting system stability or performance over time. 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-772. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; 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-2026-72246] use correct direction to set up tunnel route
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter flowtable component. This vulnerability arises from an error in how the system sets up tunnel routes, specifically in handling network packet encapsulation and tunnel information. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause incorrect network traffic routing or unexpected packet behavior. This could lead to network disruptions or a denial of service (DoS). Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-628. 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-2026-72256] reject template conntracks in hash match
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. The `xt_cluster` module, specifically within the `xt_cluster_mt()` function, incorrectly processes template connection tracking (conntrack) objects. This state confusion occurs when a template conntrack is attached before it is fully initialized, leading to `xt_cluster_hash()` attempting to hash incomplete conntrack state. This can cause the system to trigger a `WARN_ON()` condition, potentially resulting in a denial of service. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-843.
Medium [CVE-2026-72302] Use overflow checks in control_update size calc
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: SOF: ipc3-control: Use overflow checks in control_update size calc In sof_ipc3_control_update(), the expected_size calculation uses firmware-provided cdata->num_elems in arithmetic that could overflow on 32-bit platforms, wrapping to a small value. This would allow the cdata->rhdr.hdr.size comparison to pass with mismatched sizes, potentially leading to out-of-bounds access in snd_sof_update_control. Use check_mul_overflow() and check_add_overflow() to detect and reject overflowed size calculations. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, specifically within the ASoC Sound Open Firmware (SOF) component. An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the `sof_ipc3_control_update()` function when calculating an expected size based on firmware-provided data on 32-bit systems. This flaw can lead to memory corruption, where the system attempts to write data beyond its allocated buffer. Such an issue could potentially allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges or cause the system to crash, leading to a denial of service. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-787. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.
Medium [CVE-2026-72333] fix tx ident leak for commands without a response
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: L2CAP: fix tx ident leak for commands without a response Commit 6c3ea155e5ee ("Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix not tracking outstanding TX ident") changed ident allocation to use an IDA, releasing idents in l2cap_put_ident() when the matching response command is received. But identifiers allocated for commands that have no response defined are never released. In particular L2CAP_LE_CREDITS is sent repeatedly for the lifetime of an LE CoC channel, so a peer streaming data to the host exhausts the 1-255 ident range after 254 credit packets. From then on l2cap_get_ident() fails: kernel: Bluetooth: Unable to allocate ident: -28 and every subsequent L2CAP_LE_CREDITS packet is sent with ident 0, which is invalid (Core Spec, Vol 3, Part A, Section 4: "Signaling identifier 0x00 is an invalid identifier and shall never be used in any command"). Remote stacks that validate the ident drop these commands, never receive new credits, and the channel stalls permanently. With default socket buffers this happens after roughly 0.5 MB of received data (the exact amount depends on the socket receive buffer): ident so that an ident that an EXT_FLOWCTL channel may be waiting on (e.g. a pending reconfigure) is not overwritten by a credit packet.
Medium [CVE-2026-72143] Restore SST-PP control to all domains
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: ISST: Restore SST-PP control to all domains The SST-PP control offset is only restored to power domain 0 after resume. During suspend, control values are read and stored for all power domains. Use pd_info->sst_base instead of power_domain_info->sst_base, which only points to power domain 0 base address. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Intel Speed Select Technology (ISST) power management component for x86 platforms. This occurs due to an incorrect base address being used during the restore process, which could lead to unexpected system behavior or suboptimal power management for other power domains. 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-628. 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-2026-72174] fix hugetlb self-deadlock in pagemap_scan_pte_hole
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(). 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(). A local attacker could trigger a self-deadlock condition within the huge pages (hugetlb) memory management subsystem.
Medium [CVE-2026-72152] Use wait_woken in wait_for_tmp_stat
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. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Trusted Platform Module (TPM) TIS SPI driver. The `wait_event_interruptible_timeout()` function incorrectly evaluates its condition after setting the task state, which can trigger a warning when debugging atomic sleeps and using the Interrupt Request (IRQ) wait path. This could potentially lead to system instability or unexpected behavior. 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-821. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; 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-2026-72216] Fix leak when custom dump_segments addition fails
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: remoteproc: qcom: Fix leak when custom dump_segments addition fails Free allocated minidump_region 'name' in qcom_add_minidump_segments() when failing before adding the region to 'dump_segments'. Otherwise, the 'name' is not tracked and is never freed by qcom_minidump_cleanup(). This vulnerability involves a memory leak that occurs when the system fails to properly free allocated memory during certain operations within the `qcom_add_minidump_segments()` function. An attacker could potentially exploit this issue to exhaust system memory, leading to a denial of service (DoS) for affected systems. 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-772. 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-2026-72375] Fix reinitialisation of the inode, in particular ->lock_work
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: afs: Fix reinitialisation of the inode, in particular ->lock_work It seems that initalising afs_vnode::lock_work a single time in the slab's init function isn't sufficient for work_structs. This results in the DEBUG_OBJECTS debugging stuff producing a warning occasionally when running the generic/131 xfstest: ODEBUG: activate not available (active state 0) object: 0000000016d8760f object type: work_struct hint: afs_lock_work+0x0/0x220 WARNING: lib/debugobjects.c:629 at debug_print_object+0x4b/0x90, CPU#3: locktest/7695...

Also, flush ->lock_work when the inode is being evicted to make sure it's not still running.
Medium [CVE-2026-72213] fix hugetlb cgroup rsvd charge/uncharge mismatch
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/hugetlb: fix hugetlb cgroup rsvd charge/uncharge mismatch In alloc_hugetlb_folio(), a single h_cg pointer is used for both the rsvd and non-rsvd hugetlb cgroup charges. When map_chg is set, hugetlb_cgroup_charge_cgroup_rsvd() stores the charged cgroup in h_cg, but the immediately following hugetlb_cgroup_charge_cgroup() overwrites h_cg with the non-rsvd cgroup pointer. As a result, hugetlb_cgroup_commit_charge_rsvd() stores the wrong (non-rsvd) cgroup pointer into the folio's rsvd slot. When the folio is later freed, free_huge_folio() unconditionally calls both hugetlb_cgroup_uncharge_folio() and hugetlb_cgroup_uncharge_folio_rsvd(). A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's huge page memory management (hugetlb). A mismatch in how reserved and non-reserved huge page control group (cgroup) charges are handled during memory allocation and deallocation can lead to an incorrect cgroup being uncharged. This issue results in a page counter underflow, which a local attacker could potentially leverage to cause a denial of service. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-191. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.
Medium [CVE-2026-72439] fix writes_pending leak on write request failures
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md/raid10: fix writes_pending leak on write request failures raid10_make_request() acquires a writes_pending reference with md_write_start() before dispatching write requests. Several failure paths in raid10_write_request() complete the bio and return without reaching the normal write completion path, causing the corresponding md_write_end() to be skipped. Make raid10_write_request() return a status indicating whether the write request was successfully queued. When write requests fail, the raid10_write_request() function may not properly release a writes_pending reference. This resource leak can accumulate over time, potentially leading to a denial of service (DoS) condition where the system becomes unresponsive or crashes. 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-911. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; 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-2026-72401] Fix insn_aux_data leak on verifier err_free_env path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix insn_aux_data leak on verifier err_free_env path When bpf_check() allocates env->insn_aux_data successfully but later fails to allocate env->succ, it jumps directly to err_free_env. The existing vfree(env->insn_aux_data) sits before the err_free_env label, so that direct jump bypasses it and leaks insn_aux_data. Move vfree(env->insn_aux_data) into err_free_env so all early and late exit paths release it consistently. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) verifier. This vulnerability occurs when the bpf_check() function fails to allocate certain resources, leading to a memory leak of insn_aux_data. An attacker could potentially exploit this by repeatedly triggering the flaw, which may exhaust system memory and result 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-772. 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-2026-72314] regulator_lock_two should test for EDEADLK not EDEADLOCK
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: regulator: core: regulator_lock_two() should test for EDEADLK not EDEADLOCK Compare against -EDEADLK, which is what ww_mutex_lock() actually returns and what every other deadlock check in this file already uses. Function regulator_lock_two() acquires two regulators via regulator_lock_nested() -> ww_mutex_lock(). On contention, ww_mutex_lock() returns -EDEADLK, which is the caller's signal to drop the lock it holds and retry the acquisition in the canonical order. However, regulator_lock_two() tests the return value against -EDEADLOCK rather than -EDEADLK. On most architectures, EDEADLK and EDEADLOCK are the same value, so the comparison happens to be correct and the bug is invisible. But on MIPS, SPARC, and PowerPC, those two errors have different values. The test is wrong: a genuine -EDEADLK backoff no longer matches -EDEADLOCK, so instead of unlocking and retrying, the code falls into WARN_ON(ret) and returns with only one of the two regulators locked. In practice, this is a bug only on MIPS, because the regulator core is not built or used on the other two platforms. In general, EDEADLK is preferred over EDEADLOCK for new code. The `regulator_lock_two()` function, responsible for acquiring two regulators, incorrectly checks for an error code (`EDEADLOCK`) instead of the correct one (`EDEADLK`).
Medium [CVE-2026-72420] avoid R5_Overlap races while breaking stripe batches
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md/raid5: avoid R5_Overlap races while breaking stripe batches KCSAN report a race in break_stripe_batch_list() vs. raid5_make_request() on sh->dev[i].flags (plain word write vs. atomic bit op).. and.. one possible scenario is: CPU1 CPU2 break_stripe_batch_list(sh1) -> handle sh2 -> lock(sh2) -> sh2->batch_head = NULL -> unlock(sh2) -> test_and_clear_bit(R5_Overlap, sh2->dev[i].flags) -> wake_up_bit(sh2->dev[i].flags) raid5_make_request() -> add_all_stripe_bios(sh2) -> lock(sh2) -> stripe_bio_overlaps(sh2) returns true batch_head is NULL, so new bio overlap exist bio on sh2 -> true -> set_bit(R5_Overlap, sh2->dev[i].flags) -> unlock(sh2) -> wait_on_bit(sh2->dev[i].flags) -> sh2->dev[i].flags = sh1->dev[i].flags & ~R5_Overlap No wait_up_bit(), CPU2 could be wait_on_bit() forever... Fix by: - Expand the protect zone. - Use batch_head's device flag's snaphot when no held head_sh->stripe_lock. - Move sh/head_sh->batch_head = NULL to the end of protected zone, and, any concurrent add_all_stripe_bios() grabs sh->stripe_lock now either: - see batch_head!= null, and, is rejected by stripe_bio_overlaps() under the lock (no R5_Overlap wait ), or, - sees batch_head == NULL, only after dev[i].flags has already been set and the prior R5_Overlap waiters worken.
Medium [CVE-2026-72441] fix kernel-infoleak in dgram_recvmsg
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.
Medium [CVE-2026-72176] put stats for scheme_add_dirs internal error
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. The issue was discovered [1] by Sashiko. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mm/damon/sysfs-schemes component, which could lead to a denial of service or system instability. This vulnerability is caused by an incorrect error handling path in the damon_sysfs_scheme_add_dirs() function, resulting in a resource leak and the dereference of uninitialized memory.
