Medium [CVE-2026-72162] fix UBSAN array-index-out-of-bounds in ocfs2_sum_rightmost_rec

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: fix UBSAN array-index-out-of-bounds in ocfs2_sum_rightmost_rec [BUG] On-disk corruption setting l_next_free_rec to 0 in an inode's embedded extent list triggers a UBSAN panic on the next write to that file. [CAUSE] ocfs2_sum_rightmost_rec() computes i = le16_to_cpu(el->l_next_free_rec) - 1 and accesses el->l_recs[i] without validating i. When l_next_free_rec is 0, i becomes -1; when l_next_free_rec exceeds l_count, i falls past the end of the array. Either case violates the __counted_by_le(l_count) annotation on l_recs[] and triggers UBSAN. [FIX] Validate the inode's embedded extent list when the inode is read, in ocfs2_validate_inode_block(): l_count must be non-zero and no larger than the inode block can hold, and l_next_free_rec must not exceed l_count. A corrupt list is rejected at read time, before the b-tree code can index l_recs[] out of bounds. This occurs when the `l_next_free_rec` value is zero or exceeds `l_count` during a write operation to the affected file. A local attacker with the ability to corrupt the disk could trigger a kernel panic, 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.

Medium [CVE-2026-72275] fix potential memory leak in broadsheetfb_probe

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: broadsheetfb: fix potential memory leak in broadsheetfb_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(). This issue arises when memory allocated for page references is not properly released during an error in the `broadsheetfb_probe()` function. This oversight could lead to a memory leak, potentially allowing a local attacker to cause 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.

Medium [CVE-2026-72337] avoid untracked enable work

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: 6lowpan: avoid untracked enable work lowpan_enable_set() allocates a temporary work item and schedules do_enable_set() on system_wq, then returns to debugfs. The debugfs active operation has ended at that point, but the worker still executes module text and manipulates enable_6lowpan and listen_chan. bt_6lowpan_exit() removes the debugfs files and immediately closes and puts listen_chan. It has no pointer to the queued work item, so it cannot cancel or flush it before tearing down the state that the worker uses. The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path: debugfs enable write module exit 1. lowpan_enable_set() allocates 1. bt_6lowpan_exit() removes set_enable work the debugfs file 2. schedule_work() queues 2. bt_6lowpan_exit() closes do_enable_set() and puts listen_chan 3. the write operation returns 3. module teardown can continue 4. do_enable_set() later runs against stale state Run the enable state transition synchronously in lowpan_enable_set() instead. The simple debugfs setter can sleep, and this file already handles the 6LoWPAN control write synchronously under the same set_lock. Once the setter returns, debugfs removal covers the whole operation and exit can no longer race with an untracked work item.

Medium [CVE-2026-72178] always put unsuccessfully committed target pids

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/damon/core: always put unsuccessfully committed target pids damon_commit_target() puts and gets the destination and the source target pids. It puts the destination target pid because it will be overwritten by the source target pid. It gets the source pid because the caller is supposed to eventually put the pids. In more detail, the caller will call damon_destroy_ctx() after damon_commit_ctx() to destroy the entire source context. And in this case, [f]vaddr operation set's cleanup_target() callback will put the pids. The commit operation is made at the context level. The operation can fail in multiple places including in the middle and after the targets commit operations. For any such failures, immediately the error is returned to the damon_commit_ctx() caller. If some or all of the source target pids were committed to the destination during the unsuccessful context commit attempt, those pids should be put twice. The source context will do the put operations using the above explained routine. The destination does not have the cleanup_target() ops callback, so it cannot put the pids via the damon_destroy_ctx(). As a result, the pids are leaked. The issue in the real world would be not very common. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat package: kernel.

Medium [CVE-2026-72153] Use correct index in crossbar_domain_free

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: irqchip/crossbar: Use correct index in crossbar_domain_free() crossbar_domain_free() resets the domain data and then uses the nulled out irq_data->hwirq member as index to reset the irq_map[] entry and to write the relevant crossbar register with a safe entry. That means it never frees the correct index and keeps the crossbar register connection to the source interrupt active. If it would not reset the domain data, then this would be even worse as irq_data->hwirq holds the source interrupt number, but both the map and register index need the corresponding GIC SPI number and not the source interrupt number. This might even result in an out of bounds access as the source interrupt number can be higher than the maximal index space. This can lead to an out-of-bounds write when resetting an interrupt mapping entry or writing to a crossbar register. A local attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability to cause memory corruption 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-787.

Medium [CVE-2026-72325] Avoid enabling BRS from the SVM reload path

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's performance monitoring unit (PMU) for AMD processors. When Secure Virtual Machine (SVM) is toggled on a CPU with active Last Branch Record (LBR) events, the system incorrectly attempts to enable Branch Sampling (BRS) on hardware that does not support it. This misconfiguration leads to a General Protection Fault, which can cause the system to 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-358.

Medium [CVE-2026-72372] Fix lack of locking around modifications of net->cells_dyn_ino

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: afs: Fix lack of locking around modifications of net->cells_dyn_ino Fix the lack of locking around modifications of net->cells_dyn_ino by taking net->cells_lock exclusively. This also requires to cell to be removed from net->cells_dyn_ino in afs_destroy_cell_work() rather than in afs_cell_destroy() as the latter runs in RCU cleanup context and sleeping locks cannot be taken there. A flaw was found in the AFS (Andrew File System) component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability arises from insufficient locking mechanisms when modifying internal data structures related to dynamic inode management. An attacker could potentially exploit this weakness, leading to system instability or a denial of service (DoS), where the system becomes unresponsive or crashes. The issue has been resolved by implementing exclusive locking during these critical 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).

Medium [CVE-2026-72459] aa_label_alloc use aa_label_free on alloc failure

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: apparmor: aa_label_alloc use aa_label_free on alloc failure aa_label_alloc() allocates a secid before allocating or taking the label proxy. If the later proxy step fails, the error path only freed the label memory, leaking any resources initialized by aa_label_init(). Use aa_label_free() on the failure path so partially initialized labels release their secid and other label resources before the backing memory is freed. A flaw was found in the AppArmor security module of the Linux kernel. The `aa_label_alloc` function, responsible for allocating security labels, did not properly free all allocated resources in its error handling path. This oversight could lead to a memory leak, potentially impacting system stability or resource availability over time. 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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: afs: Fix callback service message parsers to pass through -EAGAIN The AFS filesystem client uses an rxrpc server to listen for callback notifications. Each callback call type handler has a delivery function that parses the incoming request stream, and this should return -EAGAIN the last packet hasn't yet been seen, but all currently queued received data is consumed. afs_extract_data() does this, but the -EAGAIN return is switched to 0 inadvertantly Fix callback service message parsers to pass through -EAGAIN This improper handling of error conditions could lead to unexpected behavior or resource issues within the AFS client. 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-393. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

Medium [CVE-2026-72380] bound backend response req_id before indexing rsp

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xen/pvcalls: bound backend response req_id before indexing rsp[] pvcalls_front_event_handler() takes req_id directly from the backend-supplied ring response and uses it to index the fixed-size bedata->rsp[] array for a memcpy() and a store, with no range check. A malicious or buggy backend can set req_id past PVCALLS_NR_RSP_PER_RING and drive an out-of-bounds write past the bedata allocation. req_id was also declared int while the wire field rsp->req_id is u32, so a range check on the signed value alone is insufficient: a backend req_id of 0xffffffff becomes -1, passes a >= PVCALLS_NR_RSP_PER_RING test and indexes bedata->rsp[-1]. Declare req_id as u32 so a single bound covers both ends. A backend that sends an out-of-range req_id has violated the wire protocol, so rather than silently dropping the response, log once and stop trusting the backend: set bedata->disabled. The event handler then ignores further responses, and the request paths that wait for a response return -EIO instead of blocking forever. This mirrors the fatal-error handling xen-netback uses (xenvif_fatal_tx_err()). The pvcalls frontend currently trusts its backend, so this is not a classic-Xen security issue, but it matters for hardening PV frontends against malicious backends (confidential and disaggregated deployments).

Medium [CVE-2026-72400] validate SRH length before reading fixed fields

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: seg6: validate SRH length before reading fixed fields seg6_validate_srh() reads fixed SRH fields such as srh->type and srh->hdrlen before checking that the supplied length covers the fixed struct ipv6_sr_hdr fields. The BPF SEG6 encap path reaches this with a BPF program-supplied pointer and length: bpf_lwt_push_encap() and the SEG6 local BPF END_B6 and END_B6_ENCAP actions call bpf_push_seg6_encap(), which forwards the length to seg6_validate_srh() with no minimum-size guard. A 2-byte SEG6 encap header can therefore make the validator read srh->type at offset 2 beyond the caller-supplied buffer. Reject lengths shorter than the fixed SRH at the top of seg6_validate_srh(), before any field is read. This fixes the BPF helper path and keeps the common validator robust. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Segment Routing over IPv6 (SEG6) component. Insufficient validation of the Segment Routing Header (SRH) length before reading its fixed fields can lead to an out-of-bounds read. A local attacker, by crafting a malicious BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) program, could provide a short SEG6 encapsulation header, causing the system to read beyond the allocated buffer. This could result in information disclosure or potentially a denial of service.

Medium [CVE-2026-72456] release exe file resources on path failure

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: apparmor: release exe file resources on path failure get_current_exe_path() takes both an exe_file reference and a path reference before resolving the path name. If aa_path_name() failed, it returned immediately and leaked both references. Route the failure through the common cleanup path so fput() and path_put() always run after the references are acquired. When the `get_current_exe_path()` function encounters a path resolution failure, it fails to properly release file and path references. This resource leak could be exploited by a local attacker, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) by exhausting 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-911.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: apparmor: fix refcount leak when updating the sk_ctx Currently update_sk_ctx() transfers the plabel reference, unfortunately it is also unconditionally put in the caller. Ideally we would make the caller conditionally put the reference based on whether it was transferred but for now just fix the bug by getting a reference. A flaw was found in the AppArmor security module of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service by exhausting 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-911.

Medium [CVE-2026-72440] fix writes_pending and barrier reference leaks on write failures

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md/raid1: fix writes_pending and barrier reference leaks on write failures raid1_make_request() acquires a writes_pending reference with md_write_start() before calling raid1_write_request(). Several failure paths in raid1_write_request() complete the bio and return without reaching the normal write completion path, causing the corresponding md_write_end() to be skipped. Make raid1_write_request() return a status indicating whether the write request was successfully queued. This allows raid1_make_request() to call md_write_end() when raid1_write_request() fails. Additionally, if wait_blocked_rdev() fails after wait_barrier() succeeds, the associated barrier reference is not released. Call allow_barrier() before returning from that path to keep the barrier accounting balanced. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's RAID1 (Redundant Array of Independent Disks Level 1) implementation. During write failures, the md/raid1 module may fail to release writes_pending and barrier references. This oversight can lead to a resource leak, potentially causing system instability or a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.

Medium [CVE-2026-72432] Check ACPI_COMPANION against NULL during probe

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tpm_crb: Check ACPI_COMPANION() against NULL during probe Every platform driver can be forced to match a device that doesn't match its list of device IDs because of device_match_driver_override(), so platform drivers that rely on the existence of a device's ACPI companion object need to verify its presence. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Command Response Buffer (CRB) driver. This vulnerability occurs because the driver does not properly check for the presence of an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) companion object during device probing. An attacker could potentially exploit this by forcing the driver to match a device without an ACPI companion, which may lead to a system crash or 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-476. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Medium [CVE-2026-72352] Fix hid_bpf_get_data range check

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: bpf: Fix hid_bpf_get_data() range check hid_bpf_get_data() returns a pointer into the HID-BPF context data when the caller-provided offset and size fit inside ctx->allocated_size. The current check adds rdwr_buf_size and offset before comparing the result against ctx->allocated_size. Since both values are unsigned, a very large size can wrap the sum below ctx->allocated_size and make the helper return a pointer even though the requested range is not contained in the backing buffer. Use check_add_overflow() to reject wrapped range ends before comparing the requested range end against ctx->allocated_size. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Human Interface Device (HID) Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) component. An integer overflow, where a calculation exceeds the maximum value an integer type can store, in the hid_bpf_get_data() function's range check can occur when processing a very large size value. This allows the function to return a pointer to memory outside its intended buffer, potentially leading to out-of-bounds memory access. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or potentially escalate privileges. 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).

Medium [CVE-2026-74356] fix vhost_get_avail_idx for a non empty ring

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vhost: fix vhost_get_avail_idx for a non empty ring vhost_get_avail_idx is supposed to report whether it has updated vq->avail_idx. Instead, it returns whether all entries have been consumed, which is usually the same. But not always - in drivers/vhost/net.c and when mergeable buffers have been enabled, the driver checks whether the combined entries are big enough to store an incoming packet. If not, the driver re-enables notifications with available entries still in the ring. The incorrect return value from vhost_get_avail_idx propagates through vhost_enable_notify and causes the host to livelock if the guest is not making progress, as vhost will immediately disable notifications and retry using the available entries. This goes back to commit d3bb267bbdcb ("vhost: cache avail index in vhost_enable_notify()") which changed vhost_enable_notify() to compare the freshly read avail index against vq->last_avail_idx instead of the previously cached vq->avail_idx. Commit 7ad472397667 ("vhost: move smp_rmb() into vhost_get_avail_idx()") then carried over the same comparison when refactoring vhost_enable_notify() to call the unified vhost_get_avail_idx(). The obvious fix is to make vhost_get_avail_idx do what the comment says it does and report whether new entries have been added.

Medium [CVE-2026-74314] Cancel special fields on map value recycle

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Cancel special fields on map value recycle Map update and delete paths currently call bpf_obj_free_fields() when a value is being replaced or recycled. That makes field destruction depend on the context of the update/delete operation. For tracing programs this can include NMI context, where referenced kptr destructors, uptr unpinning, and graph root destruction are not generally safe. Introduce bpf_obj_cancel_fields() for the reusable-value path. It only performs NMI-safe cleanup for timer, workqueue, and task_work fields. Fields that need full destruction are left attached to the recycled value and are destroyed by the final cleanup path instead. Keep bpf_obj_free_fields() for final map destruction and for bpf_mem_alloc destructors. Preallocated hashtabs do not have allocator destructors, so teardown continues to walk the normal and extra elements and fully destroy their fields. This deliberately relaxes the eager-free semantics of map update/delete for special fields. Programs that relied on a recycled map slot becoming empty immediately after update/delete were relying on behavior that cannot be implemented safely from every BPF execution context without offloading arbitrary destructors. There is a chance this change breaks programs making assumptions regarding the eager freeing of fields.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix fast commit wait/wake bit mapping on 64-bit On 64-bit, ext4 dynamic inode states live in the upper half of i_flags, and ext4_test_inode_state() applies the corresponding +32 offset. The fast-commit wait and wake paths open-coded the wait key with the raw EXT4_STATE_* value. Add small helpers for the state wait word and bit, and use them for the FC_COMMITTING and FC_FLUSHING_DATA waits so the wait key follows the same mapping as the state helpers. A flaw was found in the `ext4` filesystem component of the Linux kernel. On 64-bit systems, an incorrect mapping of wait/wake bits during fast commits could lead to unexpected behavior. This issue, if triggered, may result in system instability or data integrity problems. 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-1102.
