High [CVE-2026-53254] validate skb length in MCC handlers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: RFCOMM: validate skb length in MCC handlers The RFCOMM MCC handlers cast skb->data to protocol-specific structs without validating skb->len first. A malicious remote device can send truncated MCC frames and trigger out-of-bounds reads in these handlers. Fix this by using skb_pull_data() to validate and access the required data before dereferencing it. rfcomm_recv_rpn() requires special handling since ETSI TS 07.10 allows 1-byte RPN requests. Handle this by validating only the DLCI byte first, and validating the full struct only when len > 1. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth RFCOMM (Radio Frequency Communication) subsystem. A malicious remote device could exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted, truncated Multiplexing Control Channel (MCC) frames. This lack of proper validation of incoming data length before processing could lead to out-of-bounds reads, potentially resulting in information disclosure or a denial of service. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-1284. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
High [CVE-2026-53200] Fix handling of XN[0] when !FEAT_XNX
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: nv: Fix handling of XN[0] when!FEAT_XNX XN has already been extracted from its bitfield position so using FIELD_PREP() on the mask that clears XN[0] is completely broken, having the effect of unconditionally granting execute permissions... Fix the obvious mistake by manipulating the right bit. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) for ARM64 architectures. This vulnerability arises from incorrect handling of the Execute Never (XN) bit, a memory protection feature, when the FEAT_XNX feature is not enabled. This error can lead to execute permissions being unconditionally granted, potentially allowing a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-266. 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.
High [CVE-2026-53233] fix double-free in netdev_nl_bind_rx_doit
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netdev: fix double-free in netdev_nl_bind_rx_doit() Sashiko flags that genlmsg_reply() always consumes the skb. The error path calls nlmsg_free(rsp) so we can't jump directly to it. Let's not unbind, just propagate the error to the user. This is the typical way of handling genlmsg_reply() failures. They shouldn't happen unless user does something silly like calling the kernel with an already-full rcvbuf. A double-free vulnerability exists within the `netdev_nl_bind_rx_doit()` function, which is responsible for binding network device receive operations. This vulnerability arises when `genlmsg_reply()` consumes the socket buffer (`skb`), and the error handling path subsequently attempts to free the response (`rsp`) again, resulting in a double-free. This could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) or potentially execute arbitrary code. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-763. 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.
High [CVE-2026-53223] guard timestamp cmsgs to real error queue skbs
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: guard timestamp cmsgs to real error queue skbs skb_is_err_queue() treats PACKET_OUTGOING as the sole marker for an skb from sk_error_queue. That assumption is not true for AF_PACKET sockets: outgoing packet taps are also delivered to packet sockets with skb->pkt_type == PACKET_OUTGOING, but their skb->cb is owned by AF_PACKET instead of struct sock_exterr_skb. If such an skb is received with timestamping enabled, the generic timestamp cmsg path can read AF_PACKET control-buffer state as sock_exterr_skb::opt_stats. With SO_RXQ_OVFL enabled, the packet drop counter overlaps opt_stats. An odd drop count makes the path emit SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS with skb->len and skb->data. For non-linear skbs this copies past the linear head and can trigger hardened usercopy or disclose adjacent heap contents. Keep skb_is_err_queue() local to net/socket.c, but make it verify that the PACKET_OUTGOING marker is paired with the sock_rmem_free destructor installed by sock_queue_err_skb(). AF_PACKET receive skbs use normal receive ownership and no longer pass as error-queue skbs, while legitimate sk_error_queue entries keep the PACKET_OUTGOING marker and sock_rmem_free ownership. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking component.
High [CVE-2026-53250] cache csum_start/csum_offset to fix TOCTOU in xsk_skb_metadata
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xsk: cache csum_start/csum_offset to fix TOCTOU in xsk_skb_metadata() The TX metadata area resides in the UMEM buffer which is memory-mapped and concurrently writable by userspace. In xsk_skb_metadata(), csum_start and csum_offset are read from shared memory for bounds validation, then read again for skb assignment. A malicious userspace application can race to overwrite these values between the two reads, bypassing the bounds check and causing out-of-bounds memory access during checksum computation in the transmit path. Fix this by reading csum_start and csum_offset into local variables once, then using the local copies for both validation and assignment. Note that other metadata fields (flags, launch_time) and the cached csum fields may be mutually inconsistent due to concurrent userspace writes, but this is benign: the only security-critical invariant is that each field's validated value is the same one used, which local caching guarantees. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's xsk (AF_XDP socket) component. A malicious local userspace application can exploit a Time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in the `xsk_skb_metadata()` function. By modifying checksum-related values in shared memory between validation and use, an attacker can bypass security checks.
High [CVE-2026-53181] fix sk_ack_backlog leak on failed handshake
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vsock/vmci: fix sk_ack_backlog leak on failed handshake When vmci_transport_recv_connecting_server() returns an error, vmci_transport_recv_listen() calls vsock_remove_pending() but never calls sk_acceptq_removed(). This leaves sk_ack_backlog incremented permanently. Repeated handshake failures (malformed packets, queue pair alloc failure, event subscribe failure) cause sk_ack_backlog to climb toward sk_max_ack_backlog. Once it reaches the limit the listener permanently refuses all new connections with -ECONNREFUSED, a silent denial of service requiring a process restart to recover. The two existing sk_acceptq_removed() calls in af_vsock.c do not cover this path: line 764 checks vsock_is_pending() which returns false after vsock_remove_pending(), and line 1889 is only reached on successful accept(). Fix by balancing sk_acceptq_added() with sk_acceptq_removed() on the error path. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). 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.
High [CVE-2026-53157] free phonet_device after RCU grace period
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: phonet: free phonet_device after RCU grace period phonet_device_destroy() removes a phonet_device from the per-net device list with list_del_rcu(), but frees it immediately. RCU readers walking the same list can still hold a pointer to the object after it has been removed, leading to a slab-use-after-free. Use kfree_rcu(), matching the lifetime rule already used by phonet_address_del() for the same object type. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's phonet networking subsystem. This vulnerability occurs because a phonet device is freed immediately after being removed from a list, while other parts of the kernel (RCU readers) may still hold a pointer to the freed memory. This can lead to a use-after-free condition, potentially allowing a local attacker to cause a denial of service or escalate privileges. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-825. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: kernel.
High [CVE-2026-53253] reject short frames before parsing
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: bnep: reject short frames before parsing A BNEP peer can send a short BNEP SDU. bnep_rx_frame() reads the packet type byte immediately and, for control packets, reads the control opcode and setup UUID-size byte before proving that those bytes are present. bnep_rx_control() also dereferences the control opcode without rejecting an empty control payload. Use skb_pull_data() for the fixed fields in bnep_rx_frame() so a NULL return gates each dereference. Split the control handler so the frame path can pass an opcode that has already been pulled, and keep the byte-buffer wrapper for extension control payloads. For BNEP_SETUP_CONN_REQ, name the UUID-size byte before pulling the setup payload. struct bnep_setup_conn_req carries destination and source service UUIDs after that byte, each uuid_size bytes, so the parser now documents that tuple explicitly instead of leaving the pull length as an opaque multiplication. 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.
High [CVE-2026-53201] Revert "drm/xe: Skip exec queue schedule toggle if queue is idle during suspend"
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Revert "drm/xe: Skip exec queue schedule toggle if queue is idle during suspend" This reverts commit 8533051ce92015e9cc6f75e0d52119b9d91610b6. The idle-skip optimization bypasses GuC suspend, so the GPU may not perform the context switch that flushes TLB entries for invalidated userptr VMAs. In LR/preempt-fence VM mode, this can lead to missed TLB invalidation and page faults during userptr invalidation tests. Restore unconditional schedule toggling on suspend so the context-switch TLB flush is always performed. This optimization will be reintroduced with a fix that does not skip suspend in LR/preempt-fence VM mode. (cherry picked from commit 6a1e7934d9a6cf46aecae00a99c2603d1295e170) A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `drm/xe` graphics driver. An optimization intended to skip execution queue schedule toggling during GPU suspend could bypass a critical GuC suspend operation. This bypass prevents the GPU from properly flushing Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) entries for invalidated user memory areas, particularly in specific virtual memory modes. A local attacker could exploit this to cause missed TLB invalidations and page faults, potentially leading to information disclosure or a denial of service. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
High [CVE-2026-53275] Fix use-after-free when processing MLD queries
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: mcast: Fix use-after-free when processing MLD queries When processing an MLD query, a pointer to the multicast group address is retrieved when initially parsing the packet. This pointer is later dereferenced without being reloaded despite the fact that the skb header might have been reallocated following the pskb_may_pull() calls, leading to a use-after-free [1]. When processing Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) queries, a pointer to the multicast group address is not correctly reloaded after certain packet manipulations. This can lead to a use-after-free vulnerability, potentially allowing an attacker to cause a denial of service or achieve arbitrary code execution. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/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 Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Red Hat fixing advisory: RHSA-2026:64775, RHSA-2026:68532, RHSA-2026:68531, RHSA-2026:66180. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: kernel-rt.
High [CVE-2026-53212] fix use-after-free on object destroy
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nft_tunnel: fix use-after-free on object destroy nft_tunnel_obj_destroy() calls metadata_dst_free() which directly kfree()s the metadata_dst, ignoring the dst_entry refcount. Packets that took a reference via dst_hold() in nft_tunnel_obj_eval() and are still queued (e.g. in a netem qdisc) are left with a dangling pointer. When these packets are eventually dequeued, dst_release() operates on freed memory. Replace metadata_dst_free() with dst_release() so the metadata_dst is freed only after all references are dropped. The dst subsystem already handles metadata_dst cleanup in dst_destroy() when DST_METADATA is set. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter component, specifically within the nft_tunnel module. This vulnerability occurs due to a use-after-free error when an object is destroyed, where memory is prematurely deallocated while still being referenced by queued network packets. This can lead to system instability or a denial of service (DoS) condition, as subsequent operations attempt to access freed memory. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-1341. 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.
High [CVE-2026-53260] Add preempt_{disable,enable}_nested in reqsk_queue_hash_req
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp: Add preempt_{disable,enable}_nested() in reqsk_queue_hash_req(). syzbot reported a weird reqsk->rsk_refcnt underflow in __inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop(). The captured reqsk_put() in __inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop() is called only when it successfully removes reqsk from ehash. Moreover, reqsk_timer_handler() calls another reqsk_put() after that. This indicates that the reqsk was missing both refcnts for ehash and the timer itself. Since all the syzbot reports had PREEMPT_RT enabled, the only possible scenario is that reqsk_queue_hash_req() is preempted after mod_timer() and before refcount_set(), and then the timer triggered after 1s aborts the reqsk due to its listener's close(). Let's wrap mod_timer() and refcount_set() with preempt_disable_nested() and preempt_enable_nested(). Note that inet_ehash_insert() holds the normal spin_lock() (mutex in PREEMPT_RT), so it must be called outside of preempt_disable_nested(), but this is fine. The lookup path just ignores 0 sk_refcnt entries in ehash and tries to create another reqsk, but this will fail at inet_ehash_insert(). [0]: refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat package: kernel.
High [CVE-2026-53259] insert aca into global hash under idev->lock
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: anycast: insert aca into global hash under idev->lock syzbot reported a splat [1]: a slab-use-after-free in ipv6_chk_acast_addr(), which walks the global inet6_acaddr_lst[] hash under RCU and dereferences a struct ifacaddr6 that has already been freed while still linked in the hash, so a later reader walks into a dangling node. In __ipv6_dev_ac_inc() the aca is allocated with refcount 1, then aca_get() bumps it to 2 to keep it alive across the unlocked region. It is published to idev->ac_list under idev->lock, but ipv6_add_acaddr_hash() runs after write_unlock_bh(). This window opened once RTNL stopped serializing the join path against device teardown. Move ipv6_add_acaddr_hash() inside the idev->lock section so the ac_list and hash insertions are atomic with respect to teardown: a racing remover now either misses the aca entirely or finds it in both lists. acaddr_hash_lock is now nested under idev->lock, which is acquired in softirq context, so switch all acaddr_hash_lock sites to spin_lock_bh() to avoid the irq lock inversion reported in [2]. [1] [2] A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, specifically within its management of IPv6 anycast addresses. A timing issue, known as a race condition, can occur when these addresses are added and removed from a system's internal list.
High [CVE-2026-53264] use RCU with deferred freeing for action lifecycle
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: act_api: use RCU with deferred freeing for action lifecycle When NEWTFILTER and DELFILTER are run concurrently it is possible to create a race with an associated action. Let's illustrate with CPU0 running NEWTFILTER and CPU1 running DELFILTER: 0: mutex_lock() 0, mutex held 1: idr_remove(idr, index) tcfa_refcnt) 0, mutex held 1: idr_remove(idr, index) 1: mutex_unlock() 1: call_rcu(&p->tcfa_rcu, tcf_action_rcu_free) tcfa_refcnt) <-- fails, refcnt already 0 1: rcu_read_unlock() <-- release so freeing can run after grace period After CPU1 calls idr_remove(), the object is no longer reachable through the IDR. CPU0's subsequent idr_find() will return NULL, and even if it still held a stale pointer, the immediate kfree()… Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 Extended Update Support; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 Update Services for SAP Solutions; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 Update Services for SAP Solutions; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.6 Extended Update Support; and 2 more. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat package: kernel-rt.
High [CVE-2026-53270] clear the svc scheduler ptr early on edit
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipvs: clear the svc scheduler ptr early on edit ip_vs_edit_service() while unbinding the old scheduler clears the svc->scheduler ptr after the scheduler module initiates RCU callbacks. This can cause packets to use the old scheduler at the time when svc->sched_data is already freed after RCU grace period. Fix it by clearing the ptr early in ip_vs_unbind_scheduler(), before the done_service method schedules any RCU callbacks. Also, if the new scheduler fails to initialize when replacing the old scheduler, try to restore the old scheduler while still returning the error code. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IP Virtual Server (IPVS) component. During the `ip_vs_edit_service()` operation, the `svc->scheduler` pointer is cleared too late when unbinding an old scheduler. This improper handling allows packets to access previously freed scheduler data, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. This can result in system instability or a denial of service. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-825. Affected Red Hat products: 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. Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
High [CVE-2026-53276] Fix a use-after-free of the hci_conn pointer
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: ISO: Fix a use-after-free of the hci_conn pointer In iso_sock_rebind_bc(), the bis pointer is cached, then the socket lock is dropped: bis = iso_pi(sk)->conn->hcon; /* Release the socket before lookups since that requires hci_dev_lock * which shall not be acquired while holding sock_lock for proper * ordering. */ release_sock(sk); hci_dev_lock(bis->hdev); During the unlocked window, could a concurrent close() destroy the connection and free the bis structure, causing hci_dev_lock(bis->hdev) to access memory after it is freed, fix this by using the hdev reference which was safely acquired via iso_conn_get_hdev(). A local attacker with the ability to perform Bluetooth ISO socket operations could exploit a use-after-free vulnerability during a socket rebind operation. This occurs due to a race condition where a connection object's memory can be freed while still being referenced, leading to a kernel crash and a local denial of service. In some scenarios, this could potentially lead to information disclosure or integrity impacts. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-367. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.
High [CVE-2026-2050] Arbitrary code execution via heap-based buffer overflow in HDR file parsing
GIMP HDR File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of HDR files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-28266. A flaw was found in GIMP. Successful exploitation requires user interaction, where an attacker must persuade a user to open a malicious file. This prerequisite reduces the immediate threat compared to remote, unauthenticated flaws, but the potential for system compromise warrants an Important rating. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-131.

High [CVE-2026-23879] Arbitrary file write via crafted symbolic links during archive extraction
py7zr is a Python-based library and utility to support 7zip archive compression, decompression, encryption and decryption. Versions 1.1.2 and below contain an an arbitrary file write vulnerability, which allows symbolic links to be recreated outside the destination directory via crafted malicious symbolic link chains. When using extractall to extract an archive, the library restores these symbolic links, linking them to arbitrary directories on the host file system. During extraction, the program only checks the link arcname within the destination directory, but ignores the combined symlink path resolution. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by constructing malicious archives, thereby bypassing the directory boundary restrictions implemented by the extractor. Subsequent extraction of regular files through these symbolic links can result in arbitrary file writes. This vulnerability may lead to remote code execution, privilege escalation, data corruption, or denial of service. This issue has been fixed in version 1.1.3. A flaw was found in py7zr. An attacker can craft a malicious archive containing symbolic links that, when extracted, can lead to arbitrary file writes outside the intended directory. This flaw has an Important impact as py7zr shipped in Red Hat Ansible Automation Hub is susceptible to arbitrary file writes during archive extraction.
High [CVE-2026-13029] Use after free in Web Authentication
