Medium [CVE-2026-72161] add journal NULL check in ocfs2_checkpoint_inode
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: add journal NULL check in ocfs2_checkpoint_inode() During unmount, ocfs2_journal_shutdown() frees the journal and sets osb->journal to NULL. Later, when VFS evicts remaining cached inodes, ocfs2_evict_inode() -> ocfs2_clear_inode() -> ocfs2_checkpoint_inode() -> ocfs2_ci_fully_checkpointed() dereferences osb->journal, causing a NULL pointer dereference. If the journal is NULL, it has already been fully flushed and destroyed during shutdown, so there is nothing to checkpoint. A local user could trigger a NULL pointer dereference during the unmount process of an ocfs2 filesystem. This occurs because the system attempts to access a freed journal pointer, leading to a system crash and 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-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-2026-72147] Reject devices without driver data
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: dw-edma-pcie: Reject devices without driver data dw_edma_pcie_probe() treats the PCI device ID driver_data as the template for the controller layout and copies it unconditionally. A device bound dynamically via sysfs can match the driver without that data, which leads to a NULL pointer dereference. Reject such matches before enabling the device. A flaw was found in the `dw-edma-pcie` component of the Linux kernel's Direct Memory Access (DMA) engine. This vulnerability occurs because the `dw_edma_pcie_probe()` function attempts to use PCI device ID driver data as a template without verifying its presence. This can lead to a system crash, 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-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-2026-72250] guard mac_header adjustment after IPv6 defrag
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nf_conntrack_reasm: guard mac_header adjustment after IPv6 defrag nf_ct_frag6_reasm() slides the packet head forward to drop the IPv6 fragment header and then unconditionally advances skb->mac_header: skb->mac_header += sizeof(struct frag_hdr); On the NF_INET_LOCAL_OUT defrag path the skb has no link-layer header yet, so skb->mac_header is still the "not set" sentinel (u16)~0U. Adding sizeof(struct frag_hdr) wraps it to a small value (0xffff + 8 == 7), after which skb_mac_header_was_set() wrongly reports a MAC header is present and skb_mac_header() points into the headroom. The reassembler has done this unconditional add since it was introduced; it was harmless while mac_header was a bare pointer, but wrong once mac_header became a u16 offset whose unset state is the ~0U sentinel tested by skb_mac_header_was_set(). The sibling net/ipv6/reassembly.c does the same relocation and does guard the adjustment; mirror the guard here. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `nf_conntrack_reasm` module, specifically within the IPv6 defragmentation process. An attacker could exploit this by sending specially crafted IPv6 fragmented packets. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; and 2 more.
Medium [CVE-2026-72212] fix incorrect altmap passing in error path
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. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's memory hotplug subsystem. An error in the memory cleanup process, specifically when memory is added and then an issue occurs during device creation, can lead to incorrect handling of memory pages. This vulnerability can result in memory corruption, potentially causing system instability, crashes, or 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-825.
Medium [CVE-2026-72204] centalize $INDEX_ROOT header validation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs: centalize $INDEX_ROOT header validation Add a dedicated helper to perform stricter validation of $INDEX_ROOT and use it for both directory inodes and named index inodes. This keeps the root size and header geometry checks consistent across both read paths. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NTFS file system driver. This vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of the `$INDEX_ROOT` header, which is crucial for managing directory and file indexes. An attacker could potentially craft a specially malformed NTFS file system. Processing this malformed file system could lead to file system corruption or a denial of service (DoS) condition, impacting system availability. 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-1286. 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-2026-72330] Consume empty data records in tls_sw_read_sock
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/tls: Consume empty data records in tls_sw_read_sock() A peer may send a zero-length TLS application_data record; TLS 1.3 explicitly permits these as a traffic-analysis countermeasure (RFC 8446, Section 5.1). After decryption such a record has full_len == 0. tls_sw_read_sock() hands it to the read_actor, which has no payload to consume and returns zero. The loop treats a zero return as backpressure (used <= 0), requeues the skb at the head of rx_list, and stops. rx_list is serviced head-first on the next call, so the empty record is dequeued, fails the same way, and is requeued again; every later record on the connection is blocked behind it. tls_sw_recvmsg() does not stall on this: a zero-length data record copies nothing and falls through to consume_skb(). Mirror that in the read_sock() path by recognizing an empty data record before the actor runs, consuming it, and continuing. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TLS (Transport Layer Security) implementation. A remote attacker could send specially crafted zero-length TLS application data records. This could cause the system to repeatedly process these empty records, blocking all subsequent legitimate data on the connection and leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).
Medium [CVE-2026-72328] Fix potential amdxdna_umap lifetime race
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: accel/amdxdna: Fix potential amdxdna_umap lifetime race amdxdna_umap_release() calls the blocking mmu_interval_notifier_remove() before removing the object from abo->mem.umap_list. If aie2_populate_range() runs concurrently, it may obtain a reference to an amdxdna_umap that is being released, leading to a potential use-after-free. If the reference count has already dropped to zero, release is in progress and the entry is skipped. A race condition exists where the `aie2_populate_range()` function can attempt to use an `amdxdna_umap` object that is simultaneously being released. This concurrent access may lead to a use-after-free vulnerability, which could result in denial of service or potentially privilege escalation. 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. 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-2026-72201] validate index entries on reading
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs: validate index entries on reading Validate index entries immediately after reading an index root or index block from disk. This eliminates repeated checks in lookup and readdir, and reduce the risk of missing checks in those paths. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's New Technology File System (NTFS) implementation. This vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of index entries when reading index roots or blocks from disk. An attacker could potentially craft a malicious NTFS filesystem, which, when processed by the kernel, might lead to data integrity issues or system instability by bypassing intended checks during file system operations. 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-1286. 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-2026-72228] fix primary_if leak on failed linearization
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: batman-adv: frag: fix primary_if leak on failed linearization If the skb has a frag_list, it must be linearized before it can be split using skb_split(). But when this step failed, it must not only free the skb but also take care of the reference to the already found primary_if. This vulnerability occurs during the processing of network packets that have fragmented data. Specifically, if a packet's fragmented data fails a preparation step called linearization, a reference to a network interface (`primary_if`) is not properly released, leading to a memory leak. This issue could potentially be exploited by a local attacker to cause resource exhaustion, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the system. 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-911. 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-2026-72192] bound to_move in indx_insert_into_root before hdr_insert_head
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs3: bound to_move in indx_insert_into_root before hdr_insert_head indx_insert_into_root() promotes a full resident $INDEX_ROOT into $INDEX_ALLOCATION and copies all non-last resident root entries into a newly allocated INDEX_BUFFER via hdr_insert_head(). The source byte count 'to_move' is summed from the on-disk resident entry sizes and is independent of the destination buffer size, which comes from root->index_block_size (via indx->index_bits). A crafted NTFS image that keeps a valid, full resident root but shrinks root->index_block_size down to 512 after the root has been populated makes hdr_insert_head() memcpy attacker-controlled resident entry bytes past the end of the kmalloc(1u index_bits) allocation returned by indx_new(). For a 512-byte destination and a resident root whose non-last entries total 560 bytes, the memcpy overruns by 120 bytes and a following memmove extends the highest written offset to 136 bytes past the allocation. The overflow bytes are a direct copy of on-disk entries (via kmemdup), so they are fully attacker-controlled. The write is reachable from unprivileged open(O_CREAT) on a mounted crafted NTFS image: a single sufficiently long create in a directory whose resident root is already full forces root promotion and triggers the copy.
Medium [CVE-2026-72286] Do not allow intra-host migration/mirroring of SNP VMs
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: SEV: Do not allow intra-host migration/mirroring of SNP VMs The intra-host migration/mirroring feature is not fully implemented for SEV-SNP VMs. The proper migration requires additional SNP-specific state such as guest_req_mutex, guest_req_buf, and guest_resp_buf to be transferred or initialized on the destination. The SNP VM mirroring requires vmsa features to be copied as well otherwise ASID would be bound to SNP range while VM is detected as a SEV VM. Reject SNP source VMs in migration/mirroring until proper SNP state transfer is implemented. [sean: let lines poke past 80 chars, tag for stable] A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) with Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) and Secure Nested Paging (SNP) virtual machines. This incomplete implementation means that critical SNP-specific security state is not properly transferred or initialized during these operations. Consequently, allowing such operations could lead to a bypass of the intended security protections for the virtual machine, potentially compromising its integrity or confidentiality. 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.
Medium [CVE-2026-72168] fix fault in unaligned fixup
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. Fixes runtime error: Fault in unaligned fixup: 0000 [#1] at mtd_get_fact_prot_info. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Memory Technology Device (MTD) subsystem, specifically within the `vmu-flash` driver. This vulnerability arises from incorrect memory allocation, where `kmalloc_obj()` was used instead of `kzalloc_obj()` for `memcard` structures. This can lead to access of uninitialized data, resulting in a runtime error and potentially a denial of service (DoS) for the system. 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-824. 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-2026-72144] fix missing cleanups in init error path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: platform/x86: dell-laptop: fix missing cleanups in init error path dell_init() initializes several resources after dell_setup_rfkill(), including the optional touchpad LED, keyboard backlight LED, battery hook, debugfs directory and dell-laptop notifier. If a later LED or backlight registration fails, the error path only tears down the battery hook and rfkill resources. Add the missing cleanup calls before tearing down rfkill. During the initialization process, if an error occurs with LED or backlight registration, the system fails to properly clean up all allocated resources. This oversight can lead to resources, such as notifiers and debugfs directories, remaining active. Such unmanaged resource accumulation could potentially be exploited by a local attacker to cause system instability 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-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. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: kernel-rt.
Medium [CVE-2026-72273] fix memory leak in efifb_probe
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: efifb: fix memory leak in efifb_probe() Since commit 73ce73c30ba9 ("fbdev: Transfer video= option strings to caller; clarify ownership") the string returned from fb_get_options() is expected to be freed by the caller, but the string is not freed in efifb_probe(). A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `efifb` framebuffer driver. This can lead to a gradual consumption of system memory, potentially impacting system stability and 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 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-2026-72266] fix memory leak in vesafb_probe
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: vesafb: fix memory leak in vesafb_probe() Since commit 73ce73c30ba9 ("fbdev: Transfer video= option strings to caller; clarify ownership") the string returned from fb_get_options() is expected to be freed by the caller. This oversight can 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 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-2026-72274] fix potential memory leak in hecubafb_probe
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: hecubafb: fix potential memory leak in hecubafb_probe() The memory allocated for pagerefs in fb_deferred_io_init() is not freed on the error path. Fix it by calling fb_deferred_io_cleanup(). A local attacker could exploit this by triggering an error path during the initialization of the hecubafb module. This could lead to a memory leak, potentially causing a denial of service due to resource exhaustion. 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-2026-72227] avoid OOB read of num_dests header
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: batman-adv: mcast: avoid OOB read of num_dests header Before the access to struct batadv_tvlv_mcast_tracker's num_dests, it is attempted to check whether enough space is actually in the network header. But instead of using offsetofend() to check for the whole size (2) which must be accessible, offsetof() of is called. The latter is always returning 0. The comparison with the network header length will always return that enough data is available - even when only 1 or 0 bytes are accessible. An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the `mcast` module due to an incorrect size check when accessing the `num_dests` header. This flaw could allow an attacker to read sensitive information from memory 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-125. 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-2026-72315] fix busy dentry warning on unmount after DIO
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: fix busy dentry warning on unmount after DIO Commit c68337442f03 ("cifs: Fix busy dentry used after unmounting") fixed the issue in cifs where deferred close of a file led to a dentry reference count not being released in umount, by flushing deferredclose_wq in cifs_kill_sb() to solve it. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat package: kernel.
Medium [CVE-2026-72148] Add spinlock to protect DONE_INT_MASK and ABORT_INT_MASK
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: dw-edma: Add spinlock to protect DONE_INT_MASK and ABORT_INT_MASK The DONE_INT_MASK and ABORT_INT_MASK registers are shared by all DMA channels, and modifying them requires a read-modify-write sequence. Because this operation is not atomic, concurrent calls to dw_edma_v0_core_start() can introduce race conditions if two channels update these registers simultaneously. Add a spinlock to serialize access to these registers and prevent race conditions. [den: update dw_edma.lock comment] A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's dmaengine component, specifically in the dw-edma driver. Concurrent calls to `dw_edma_v0_core_start()` can lead to a race condition if multiple channels attempt to update these registers simultaneously, potentially causing 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-820. 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-2026-72141] fix locked bus on SMBus block-read of 0 (IRQ)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i2c: imx: fix locked bus on SMBus block-read of 0 (IRQ) SMBus 3.1 6.5.7 allows a Block Read byte count of 0, but the interrupt-driven block-read state machine rejects it as -EPROTO. Worse, it returns without a NACK+STOP: the next receive cycle has already started, so the target keeps holding SDA and the bus stays stuck until a power cycle of this i2c controller. Accept count=0: NACK the in-flight dummy byte (TXAK) and set msg->len to 2 so i2c_imx_isr_read_continue() emits STOP via its normal last-byte path. The dummy byte is discarded; block-read callers only consume buf[0..count-1]. Reading I2DR has likewise already armed the next byte on the count > I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_MAX error path, so NACK it (TXAK) before aborting with -EPROTO; otherwise the failing transfer's STOP cannot complete and the bus stays held. The atomic path regressed earlier (v3.16) and is fixed separately; this patch covers only the v6.13 state-machine rework. A malicious device on the I2C bus or a local attacker with access to the I2C bus could exploit this vulnerability by initiating an SMBus block-read operation with a zero byte count. This can cause the I2C bus to become locked, requiring a power cycle of the controller to restore functionality, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).
