Medium [CVE-2026-72029] bound device offsets in the MUX downlink decoder
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: wwan: iosm: bound device offsets in the MUX downlink decoder mux_dl_adb_decode() walks a chain of aggregated datagram tables using offsets and lengths taken from the modem. first_table_index, next_table_index, table_length, datagram_index and datagram_length are all device supplied le values. Only first_table_index was checked, and only for being non zero. The decoder then formed adth = block + adth_index and read the table header and the datagram entries with no bound against the received skb. A modem that reports an index or a length past the downlink buffer makes the decoder read out of bounds. The buffer is IPC_MEM_MAX_DL_MUX_LITE_BUF_SIZE and skb->len is at most that, so skb->len is the real limit, but none of these in band offsets were checked against it. The table chain is also followed with no forward progress check. The loop takes the next table from adth->next_table_index and stops only when that reaches zero. A modem can stage two tables that point at each other, so the loop never ends. It runs in softirq and clones the skb on every pass. Validate every device offset and length against skb->len before use. Each table header, on entry and after every next_table_index, must lie inside the skb. The header padding must not exceed the datagram length so the receive length does not wrap.
Medium [CVE-2026-72238] Validate console=uart8250 baud rate to fix early boot hang
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/boot: Validate console=uart8250 baud rate to fix early boot hang When the baud rate is empty, 0, invalid, or overflows to 0 when stored as an int, the system will hang during early boot because of a division by zero in early_serial_init(). Fall back to DEFAULT_BAUD when the resulting baud rate is 0 to prevent an early system hang. This invalid input leads to a division-by-zero error in the `early_serial_init()` function, resulting in 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-369. 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-2026-72037] Initialize eth_syslock spinlock before use
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: lan743x: Initialize eth_syslock spinlock before use lan743x_hardware_init() calls pci11x1x_strap_get_status() during the PCI11x1x probe sequence. That helper acquires the Ethernet subsystem hardware lock via lan743x_hs_syslock_acquire(), which relies on adapter->eth_syslock_spinlock to serialize access. The spinlock is currently initialized only after the strap status is read. With CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK enabled, taking the zeroed initialized spinlock can trip the spinlock debug check. Fix by initializing adapter->eth_syslock_spinlock before reading the strap status so the probe path never attempts to lock an uninitialized spinlock. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `lan743x` Ethernet driver. A system lock, or spinlock, is accessed during the driver's initialization sequence before it has been properly set up. This improper initialization can lead to a system crash if kernel debugging features are enabled, 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-908. 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-2026-72024] remove interfaces with RCU list deletion
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mac802154: remove interfaces with RCU list deletion Queue wake, stop, and disable paths walk local->interfaces under RCU. The bulk hardware teardown path removes entries with list_del(), so an asynchronous transmit completion can follow a poisoned list node in ieee802154_wake_queue(). Use list_del_rcu() as in the single-interface removal path. The following unregister_netdevice() waits for in-flight RCU readers before freeing the netdevice, so no separate grace-period wait is needed. When network interfaces are removed, the system incorrectly manages memory, which can cause a program to try and use memory that is no longer available or has been corrupted. This vulnerability could lead to system instability or a denial of service, making the affected system unresponsive. 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-825. 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-2026-72023] fix SQB pointer leak on init failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: octeontx2-pf: fix SQB pointer leak on init failure otx2_init_hw_resources() initializes SQ aura and pool resources before several later setup steps. On failure, err_free_sq_ptrs only frees SQB pages, leaving the per-SQ sqb_ptrs arrays behind. Use otx2_free_sq_res() for the SQ unwind path and let it free sqb_ptrs even when sq->sqe has not been allocated yet. The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still present in v7.1.1. An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have an OcteonTX2 PF device and the corresponding AF mailbox setup to test with, no runtime testing was able to be performed. During the initialization of hardware resources, a memory leak occurs where certain pointer arrays are not properly freed upon failure. This issue could lead to resource exhaustion, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the 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-772. 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.
Medium [CVE-2026-72090] Use caller client for debug BO sync
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: accel/amdxdna: Use caller client for debug BO sync amdxdna_drm_sync_bo_ioctl() looks up args->handle in the ioctl caller's drm_file. For SYNC_DIRECT_FROM_DEVICE, it then calls amdxdna_hwctx_sync_debug_bo(), but passes abo->client. amdxdna_hwctx_sync_debug_bo() uses the passed client both as the handle namespace for debug_bo_hdl and as the owner of the hardware context xarray. Those must match the file that supplied args->handle. The BO's stored client pointer is object state, not the ioctl context. Pass filp->driver_priv instead, matching the original handle lookup. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's amdxdna graphics acceleration driver. A local user could exploit an incorrect client handling issue within the `amdxdna_drm_sync_bo_ioctl()` function. When performing a `SYNC_DIRECT_FROM_DEVICE` operation, the `amdxdna_hwctx_sync_debug_bo()` function is called with an incorrect client, leading to a mismatch in the handle namespace and hardware context ownership. This could potentially allow unauthorized access to debug buffer objects. 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-648. 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-2026-72089] Reject firmware log with size smaller than header
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: accel/ivpu: Reject firmware log with size smaller than header fw_log_from_bo() validates the tracing buffer header_size and that the log fits within the BO, but never checks that log->size is at least log->header_size. fw_log_print_buffer() then computes: u32 data_size = log->size - log->header_size; which underflows to a near-U32_MAX value when firmware reports a log whose size is smaller than its header. That huge data_size defeats the log_start/log_end bounds clamps added by commit dd1311bcf0e6 ("accel/ivpu: Add bounds checks for firmware log indices"), so fw_log_print_lines() reads far past the small real data region of the BO. A size of 0 also makes fw_log_from_bo() advance the offset by 0, causing the callers to loop forever on the same header. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Intel Versatile Processing Unit (IVPU) accelerator driver. An attacker could exploit a vulnerability in how the driver handles firmware logs with incorrect size information. This could lead to an out-of-bounds read, potentially disclosing sensitive information or causing a system crash. In some cases, it could also result in a denial of service due to an infinite loop. 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-125.
Medium [CVE-2026-72039] fix potential memory leak in bnx2x_alloc_mem_bp
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bnx2x: fix potential memory leak in bnx2x_alloc_mem_bp() If the allocation of fp[i].tpa_info fails, the error path will not free the struct bnx2x_fastpath allocated earlier, as it is not linked to the bp structure yet. Fix that by linking it immediately after allocation. If an allocation within this function fails, a previously allocated memory structure is not correctly released, leading to a memory leak. Repeated occurrences of this issue could lead 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-772. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; 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-2026-72048] fix cas_ctl leak on spi_async failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ieee802154: ca8210: fix cas_ctl leak on spi_async failure ca8210_spi_transfer() allocates cas_ctl with kzalloc_obj(GFP_ATOMIC) and relies entirely on the SPI completion callback ca8210_spi_transfer_complete() to free it. The spi_async() API only invokes the completion callback on successful submission. On failure it returns a negative error code without ever queuing the callback, which leaves cas_ctl and its embedded spi_message and spi_transfer orphaned. Every kfree(cas_ctl) in the driver is inside the completion callback, so there is no other reclamation path. ca8210_spi_transfer() is called from ca8210_spi_exchange(), the interrupt handler ca8210_interrupt_handler(), and from the retry path inside the completion callback itself. The exchange and interrupt handler paths loop on -EBUSY, so under sustained SPI bus contention every retry iteration leaks a fresh cas_ctl (~600 bytes per occurrence). Fix it by freeing cas_ctl on the spi_async() error path. While here, correct the misleading error string: the function calls spi_async(), not spi_sync(). The ieee802154: ca8210 driver fails to free allocated memory (cas_ctl) when the spi_async() operation encounters an error. Under sustained Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus contention, this can lead to repeated memory leaks.
Medium [CVE-2026-72038] fix BAR resource leak on PF number failure
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: liquidio: fix BAR resource leak on PF number failure If cn23xx_get_pf_num() fails, the function returns without unmapping either BAR. Unmap both BARs before returning from the error path. Found by manual code review. A flaw was found in the `liquidio` network driver within the Linux kernel. This vulnerability occurs when the `cn23xx_get_pf_num()` function fails, leading to Base Address Register (BAR) resources not being properly unmapped. This resource leak could potentially be exploited by a local attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or system instability. 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. 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-2026-72086] Free the command tag on the TMR submit-failure path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: xen: scsiback: Free the command tag on the TMR submit-failure path scsiback_device_action() obtains a command tag in scsiback_get_pend_req() and submits a task-management request with target_submit_tmr(). When target_submit_tmr() fails it returns cmd_kref is one, not zero), and on its target_get_sess_cmd() error path it has freed se_cmd->se_tmr_req via core_tmr_release_req() while leaving SCF_SCSI_TMR_CDB set and the pointer dangling. Letting the command release run target_free_cmd_mem() would then double-free se_tmr_req. Use the same helper, which returns just the tag, on this path too. A pvSCSI guest can trigger a resource leak by issuing specific SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) requests when a task management operation fails. This vulnerability allows the guest to leak command tags associated with a Logical Unit Number (LUN) session, which can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) by stopping the LUN. 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-772. 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-2026-72077] ims-pcu - fix firmware leak in async update
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: ims-pcu - fix firmware leak in async update The firmware object was not being released if validation failed. Use __free(firmware) to ensure the firmware is always released. This oversight can lead to a firmware leak, potentially exposing sensitive information or system resources. 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-772. 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-2026-72079] ims-pcu - fix use-after-free and double-free in disconnect
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. A malicious device can exploit an issue in the `ims_pcu_disconnect()` function, which incorrectly distinguishes between control and data interfaces. This can lead to use-after-free or double-free vulnerabilities, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code or 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-826. 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-2026-72006] free mlx5_st_idx_data on final dealloc
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5: free mlx5_st_idx_data on final dealloc Workloads that repeatedly allocate and release mkeys carrying TPH steering-tag hints (e.g. churning RDMA MRs) leak one struct mlx5_st_idx_data per cycle; kmemleak flags it as unreferenced and the kmalloc slab grows over time. When the last reference to an ST table entry is dropped, mlx5_st_dealloc_index() removed the entry from idx_xa but the backing mlx5_st_idx_data allocation was never freed. Free idx_data after the xa_erase() so the lifetime of the bookkeeping struct matches the lifetime of the ST entry it tracks. This unreferenced memory accumulates over time, potentially leading to resource exhaustion and a Denial of Service (DoS) for affected systems. 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-772. Affected Red Hat products: 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-2026-72070] fix use-after-free in lbtf_free_adapter
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. 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. This vulnerability is a use-after-free, meaning the system attempts to access memory after it has been released. This occurs when the `lbtf_free_adapter()` function, responsible for freeing adapter resources, does not properly synchronize with a timer callback during device removal. An attacker could potentially exploit this timing issue to cause system instability, leading to a denial of service, or in some cases, execute unauthorized code. 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-825.
Medium [CVE-2026-72075] ims-pcu - fix race condition in reset_device sysfs callback
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: ims-pcu - fix race condition in reset_device sysfs callback The ims_pcu_reset_device() sysfs callback calls ims_pcu_execute_command() without acquiring pcu->cmd_mutex. This can lead to data races and corruption of the shared command buffer if triggered concurrently with other commands. Acquire pcu->cmd_mutex before calling ims_pcu_execute_command(). A race condition occurs when the `ims_pcu_reset_device()` function is called without proper synchronization, allowing concurrent operations to corrupt a shared command buffer. This vulnerability could be exploited by a local attacker to cause system instability or 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-414. 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-2026-72105] fix a bitset_size overflow on 32bit machines
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-log: fix a bitset_size overflow on 32bit machines Commit c20e36b7631d ("dm log: fix out-of-bounds write due to region_count overflow") made sure that region_count could fit in an unsigned int. But the bitmap memory isn't allocated based on region_count. It uses bitset_size (a size_t variable). The first step of calculating bitset_size is to set it to region_count, rounded up to a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG. If region_size is less than BITS_PER_LONG smaller than UINT_MAX, it will get rounded up to 2^32. On a 32bit architecture, this will make bitset_size wrap around to 0 and fail, despite region_count being valid. Since bitset_size gets divided by 8, it can hold any valid region_count. It just needs a special case to handle the rollover. If it is 0, the value rolled over, and bitset size should be set to the number of bytes needed to hold 2^32 bits. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's device mapper logging (dm-log) component. On 32-bit systems, an error in calculating the `bitset_size` can cause this variable to wrap around to zero. This incorrect calculation leads to a failure in memory allocation, which can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. 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-190.
Medium [CVE-2026-72044] fix stack buffer overflow in multichannel session-key copy
A flaw was found in ksmbd in the Linux kernel. A stack buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the multichannel session-key copy mechanism. A remote attacker can exploit this by supplying a crafted session key larger than the intended buffer size during a binding session setup. This can lead to a kernel stack overflow, potentially allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code or 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-120. 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-2026-68472] validate EHT MLE before MLD ID read
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: cfg80211: validate EHT MLE before MLD ID read cfg80211_gen_new_ie() copies ML probe response elements from the parent frame when the parent EHT multi-link element has an MLD ID matching the nontransmitted BSSID index. The code only checked that the extension element had more than one byte before calling ieee80211_mle_get_mld_id(). That helper assumes a BASIC MLE with enough common info and documents that callers must first use ieee80211_mle_type_ok(). Attack chain: malicious AP sends a short EHT MLE in an MBSSID beacon. cfg80211_inform_bss_frame_data() stores the copied IE buffer. cfg80211_parse_mbssid_data() builds the nontransmitted BSS IE. cfg80211_gen_new_ie() sees the EHT MLE in the parent frame. ieee80211_mle_get_mld_id() then reads past the IE boundary. Validate the MLE type and size before reading the MLD ID. This matches the contract required by the MLE helper and rejects the short element before any internal MLE fields are accessed. A remote attacker, by operating a malicious Access Point (AP), could send a specially crafted EHT Multi-Link Element (MLE) in an MBSSID beacon. This could cause the kernel to read beyond the intended memory boundary when processing the MLE, potentially leading to information disclosure or a denial of service (DoS).
Medium [CVE-2026-72101] fix leaking uninitialized kernel memory
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-integrity: fix leaking uninitialized kernel memory If hash size is less than device's tuple size, dm-integrity is supposed to zero the remaining space. There was a bug in the code that zeroing didn't work. This commit fixes it. This oversight can lead to the leaking of uninitialized kernel memory, potentially allowing an attacker to gain access to sensitive information. 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-909. 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.
