Medium [CVE-2026-68348] bound firmware description string parsing
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: tas2781: bound firmware description string parsing The TAS2781 firmware parser reads several variable-length description strings with strlen() before checking that the string terminator is present inside the firmware blob. A malformed firmware image without a NUL terminator can therefore make the parser walk past the end of the firmware buffer before the later size checks run. Add a small bounded string-length helper and use it for all description fields that are parsed from the firmware buffer. Keep the existing size checks for the fixed bytes that follow each string. A specially crafted, malformed firmware image could allow an attacker to cause the parser to read beyond the intended buffer, potentially leading to information disclosure or system instability. This issue affects TI TAS2781 audio amplifiers. Systems without TAS2781 codecs are not affected. 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-170. 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.
Medium [CVE-2026-68347] Fix IRQ unsafe locking in gdom allocation

Medium [CVE-2026-68346] validate and free ACPI mute object
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: hda: cs35l41: validate and free ACPI mute object cs35l41_get_acpi_mute_state() evaluates a _DSM method to get the ACPI mute state and reads the first byte from the returned object. However, the returned ACPI object is owned by the caller and is never freed after use, so each successful query leaks the _DSM result object. The code also assumes that the returned object is a buffer with at least one byte. A malformed firmware response can return a different object type or an empty buffer, and the direct ret->buffer.pointer dereference can then access an invalid pointer. The `cs35l41_get_acpi_mute_state()` function fails to properly free an ACPI object after use, leading to a memory leak with each successful query. Additionally, the driver does not validate the returned ACPI object, allowing a malformed firmware response to cause an invalid pointer dereference. This could lead to system instability or a denial of service. This issue affects systems with Cirrus Logic cs35l41 speakers on HDA ACPI platforms. The ACPI _DSM mute-state query leaks the returned object on each call and does not validate buffer type/size before dereferencing. Systems without cs35l41 codec hardware are not affected. 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.
Medium [CVE-2026-68345] guard MBWU state before adding it to garbage
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arm_mpam: guard MBWU state before adding it to garbage __destroy_component_cfg() adds each RIS mbwu_state object to the MPAM garbage list when destroying component configuration. However, mbwu_state is allocated per RIS and only for RISes with MBWU monitors. A component can therefore have comp->cfg allocated while some RISes still have ris->mbwu_state set to NULL. Passing a NULL mbwu_state to add_to_garbage() dereferences the NULL pointer inside the macro. However, some Root Interrupt Systems (RISes) may have a NULL `mbwu_state` object, leading to a null pointer dereference when passed to `add_to_garbage()`. This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS). This issue affects ARM MPAM (Memory Partitioning and Monitoring) on supported platforms. __destroy_component_cfg() may add NULL mbwu_state pointers to the garbage list for RISes without MBWU monitors. Systems without MPAM hardware are not affected. 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 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-2026-68342] avoid putting unrelated P2P peer on socket release
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ovpn: avoid putting unrelated P2P peer on socket release ovpn_peer_release_p2p() is called when an OVPN UDP socket is being destroyed. It checks the currently published P2P peer and releases it only if that peer still uses the socket being destroyed. A peer replacement can publish a new peer before the old UDP socket is destroyed. When the old socket destruction path runs afterwards, ovpn_peer_release_p2p() observes the new peer through ovpn->peer. Since the new peer uses a different socket, the function takes the socket mismatch branch. That branch still calls ovpn_peer_put(peer). At this point, however, peer is the currently published replacement peer, not the peer associated with the socket being destroyed. Dropping its reference can free it while ovpn->peer still points to it, leading to later use-after-free accesses from the peer and socket cleanup paths. KASAN reports this as a slab-use-after-free on the kmalloc-1k ovpn_peer object. In the reproducer, the object is allocated from ovpn_peer_new() via ovpn_nl_peer_new_doit(), and freed through ovpn_peer_release_rcu() from RCU callback processing. Observed access sites include ovpn_peer_remove(), ovpn_socket_release(), ovpn_nl_peer_del_notify(), and unlock_ovpn(). Fix this by returning from the socket mismatch branch without putting the peer.
Medium [CVE-2026-68341] fix use after free in unlock_ovpn
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ovpn: fix use after free in unlock_ovpn() unlock_ovpn() iterates over the release_list using llist_for_each_entry() and drops the peer reference inside the loop body via ovpn_peer_put(). If this drops the last reference, the peer is eventually freed. However, llist_for_each_entry() reads peer->release_entry.next in the loop advance expression, which runs after the body. By that time the peer may have already been freed, resulting in a use after free when advancing to the next list entry. Fix this by using llist_for_each_entry_safe(), which caches the next pointer before executing the loop body. When the `unlock_ovpn()` function processes a list of objects, it may attempt to access memory that has already been freed. This use-after-free vulnerability could potentially lead to system instability or, in more severe cases, arbitrary code execution. This issue affects OpenVPN kernel (ovpn). unlock_ovpn() UAF when ovpn_peer_put() frees peer during llist iteration. Systems not using ovpn are not affected. 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-2026-68339] validate Realtek vendor event length
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: btusb: validate Realtek vendor event length btusb_recv_event_realtek() reads the event code at data[0] and the Realtek subevent code at data[2] before deciding whether to consume a vendor event as a coredump. For example, the two-byte event ff 00 contains a complete vendor-event header declaring zero parameters. The old classifier still reads a nonexistent third byte and can misclassify the event as a coredump if the adjacent byte is 0x34. Require the HCI event header and first parameter to be present before inspecting the Realtek subevent code. Short events continue through the normal HCI receive path, which owns their protocol validation. An attacker could craft a two-byte vendor event that, due to improper validation of the Realtek vendor event length in the `btusb_recv_event_realtek()` function, could lead to the system attempting to read a non-existent third byte. This misclassification of the event as a coredump could result in a denial of service (DoS). This issue affects Realtek USB Bluetooth adapters (btusb). Short vendor events are not length-validated before parsing, allowing OOB read on two-byte events. Systems without Realtek btusb devices are not affected. 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-2026-68337] Linux kernel: Denial of Service in BPF redirect helpers
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Reject redirect helpers without a bpf_net_context The bpf_redirect*() helpers and skb_do_redirect() obtain the per-task bpf_redirect_info via bpf_net_ctx_get_ri(), which dereferences the current->bpf_net_context unconditionally. That context is established on the paths that run tc BPF such as sch_handle_{ingress,egress}(), *except* for the case where {cls,act}_bpf was attached to a proper qdisc. A program running from there reaches the NULL deref in two ways: * It calls bpf_redirect() directly, which dereferences the context at the top of the helper: tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: red limit 1MB min 10KB max 20KB \ avpkt 1000 burst 100 qevent early_drop block 10 tc filter add block 10 pref 1 bpf obj redirect.o * It simply returns TC_ACT_REDIRECT without helper call: tcf_qevent_handle() then dispatches to skb_do_redirect(), which dereferences the context Rather than extending bpf_net_context management into the qdisc path, make the redirect helpers refuse to operate when no context exists, and have tcf_qevent_handle() drop a TC_ACT_REDIRECT verdict instead of calling skb_do_redirect(). Previous behaviour was a crash, so nothing regresses by not supporting it.
Medium [CVE-2026-68334] Linux kernel: `rxrpc` race condition causes Denial of Service
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rxrpc: fix io_thread race in rxrpc_wake_up_io_thread() rxrpc_wake_up_io_thread() checks local->io_thread before waking it, but then reloads the pointer for wake_up_process(). local->io_thread is cleared with WRITE_ONCE() when the I/O thread exits, so the second load can see NULL even if the first load did not. Take a READ_ONCE() snapshot and use it for both the NULL check and the wake_up_process() call, as rxrpc_encap_rcv() already does. A race condition in the `rxrpc_wake_up_io_thread()` function could lead to a null pointer dereference. This occurs when the `io_thread` pointer is checked and then reloaded, and if the I/O thread exits between these operations, the second load can result in a null value. This vulnerability could cause a system crash, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS). This vulnerability has been assessed as Moderate impact. The race condition in rxrpc_wake_up_io_thread() was introduced in upstream kernel version 6.16.0. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not affected, as the newest RHEL kernel (6.12.x in RHEL 10) predates the introduction of the vulnerable code. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.9 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-366.
Medium [CVE-2026-68333] put MAC endpoint device on disconnect
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dpaa2-switch: put MAC endpoint device on disconnect fsl_mc_get_endpoint() returns the MAC endpoint device with a reference taken through device_find_child(). The switch port connect path stores that device in mac->mc_dev and keeps it for the lifetime of the connected MAC object. However, the disconnect path only closes the MAC and frees the dpaa2_mac object. It does not drop the endpoint device reference stored in mac->mc_dev, so every successful connect leaks that device reference when the MAC is later disconnected. Drop the endpoint device reference before freeing the dpaa2_mac object. When a MAC (Media Access Control) object is disconnected, the system fails to release a reference to the associated MAC endpoint device. This oversight causes a device reference to leak with every successful connection and subsequent disconnection, potentially leading to resource exhaustion over time. This issue affects NXP DPAA2 Ethernet switch ports. Systems without DPAA2 switch hardware are not affected. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-772. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: kernel.
Medium [CVE-2026-68332] Fix potential use-after-free in airoha_ppe_deinit
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: airoha: Fix potential use-after-free in airoha_ppe_deinit() airoha_ppe_deinit() replaces the NPU pointer with NULL via rcu_replace_pointer() but does not wait for existing RCU readers to exit before calling ppe_deinit() and airoha_npu_put(). This can cause a use-after-free if a reader in an RCU read-side critical section still holds a reference to the NPU when it is freed. The init path (airoha_ppe_init) already calls synchronize_rcu() after rcu_assign_pointer(), but the deinit path introduced in commit 6abcf751bc08 ("net: airoha: Fix schedule while atomic in airoha_ppe_deinit()") omitted the matching barrier when switching from rcu_read_lock()/rcu_dereference() to rcu_replace_pointer(). Add synchronize_rcu() before ppe_deinit() to ensure all existing RCU readers have completed before the NPU resources are released. A flaw was found in the `airoha` network driver within the Linux kernel. This vulnerability, a use-after-free, occurs because the `airoha_ppe_deinit()` function fails to properly synchronize memory deallocation with ongoing operations. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause system instability or a denial of service. Systems without airoha hardware are not affected. 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.
Medium [CVE-2026-68331] put MAC endpoint device on disconnect
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dpaa2-eth: put MAC endpoint device on disconnect fsl_mc_get_endpoint() returns the MAC endpoint device with a reference taken through device_find_child(). The Ethernet connect path stores that device in mac->mc_dev and keeps it for the lifetime of the connected MAC object. However, the disconnect path only disconnects and closes the MAC before freeing the dpaa2_mac object. It does not drop the endpoint device reference stored in mac->mc_dev, so every successful connect leaks that device reference when the MAC is later disconnected. When a network device connects and then disconnects, a reference to the MAC endpoint device is not properly released. This oversight causes a resource leak with each successful connection and subsequent disconnection. Repeated exploitation of this flaw could lead to resource exhaustion, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the system. This issue affects NXP DPAA2 Ethernet interfaces. Systems without DPAA2 Ethernet hardware are not affected. Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-772. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: kernel.
Medium [CVE-2026-68330] Fix DMA direction for NPU mailbox buffer
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: airoha: Fix DMA direction for NPU mailbox buffer airoha_npu_send_msg() always maps the mailbox buffer with DMA_TO_DEVICE, but some callers expect the NPU to write response data back into the same buffer: - airoha_npu_wlan_msg_get() (NPU_OP_GET): NPU writes response into the buffer, then the caller reads it via memcpy() - airoha_npu_ppe_stats_setup() (NPU_OP_SET): NPU writes back npu_stats_addr field in the response On non-cache-coherent architectures like EN7581 (Cortex-A53 without hardware cache coherency for NPU DMA), DMA_TO_DEVICE unmap is a no-op — it does not invalidate the CPU cache. If the NPU-written cache line is still present in the CPU cache when the caller reads the buffer, the CPU observes stale data instead of the NPU response. This is a timing-sensitive bug: small mailbox buffers (~24 bytes) typically fit in a single cache line and may survive in the cache until the caller reads them, producing silent data corruption rather than a crash. The bug is more likely to trigger when the caller reads the response immediately after dma_unmap_single() without intervening cache-evicting operations. Fix by using DMA_BIDIRECTIONAL for both map and unmap, which ensures dma_unmap_single() invalidates the CPU cache on non-coherent systems.
Medium [CVE-2026-68328] Check resource mutex allocation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfp: Check resource mutex allocation nfp_cpp_resource_find() allocates a CPP mutex handle for the matching resource-table entry and then reports success. nfp_resource_try_acquire() immediately passes that handle to nfp_cpp_mutex_trylock(). However, nfp_cpp_mutex_alloc() returns NULL on failure. Do the same for the resource mutex and fail the lookup before publishing the rest of the resource handle. This issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by manual source review. However, the `nfp_cpp_resource_find()` function might still report success, leading to a subsequent attempt to dereference the NULL pointer by `nfp_resource_try_acquire()`. This can allow a local attacker to cause a system crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue affects systems using Netronome NFP network adapters. When CPP mutex allocation fails during resource lookup, the driver still reports success and later dereferences a NULL mutex pointer. Systems without NFP hardware are not affected. 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 9; Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4. 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-2026-68324] Fix out-of-bounds memset in dmar_latency_disable
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/intel: Fix out-of-bounds memset in dmar_latency_disable() dmar_latency_disable() intends to zero out only the single latency_statistic entry for the given type, but the memset size was computed as sizeof(*lstat) * DMAR_LATENCY_NUM, which clears the entire array starting from &lstat[type]. When type > 0, this writes beyond the end of the allocated array, corrupting adjacent memory. A flaw was found in the Intel IOMMU (Input/Output Memory Management Unit) driver within the Linux kernel. The `dmar_latency_disable()` function incorrectly calculates the size for a memory clear operation, leading to an out-of-bounds write. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt adjacent memory, potentially leading to system instability or a denial of service. This issue affects Intel IOMMU latency statistics. dmar_latency_disable() memset size clears beyond the target entry, writing adjacent array elements. Systems without Intel VT-d DMAR latency support are not affected. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-787. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.
Medium [CVE-2026-68322] Fix inet6_addr_lst NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rds: Fix inet6_addr_lst NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, inet6_addr_lst is never initialized because inet6_init() exits before addrconf_init() is called to initialize it. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9; Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4; Red Hat package: kernel.
Medium [CVE-2026-68321] fix FDIR filter leak on remove
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: txgbe: fix FDIR filter leak on remove Perfect FDIR filters can be added while the interface is down and are kept on the software list for later restore. unregister_netdev() only calls ndo_stop when the device is up, so txgbe_fdir_filter_exit() in txgbe_close() is skipped in that case and the filters are leaked on driver remove. Free the filter list from txgbe_remove() as well. A resource leak vulnerability exists in the txgbe network driver. This flaw occurs because Flow Director (FDIR) filters are not properly freed when the network interface is removed while it is in a down state. This can lead to a gradual consumption of system resources, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) over time. This issue affects Wangxun txgbe NICs. Systems without txgbe hardware are not affected. 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 for NVIDIA 26. 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; Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 as not affected. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE. Affected products named by the advisory: Red Hat package: kernel.
Medium [CVE-2026-68319] fix deadlock between reset thread and remove
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pds_core: fix deadlock between reset thread and remove pci_reset_function() acquires device_lock before performing the reset. pdsc_remove() is called by the PCI core with device_lock already held. If pdsc_pci_reset_thread() is running when pdsc_remove() is called, destroy_workqueue() will block waiting for the work to complete, while the work is blocked waiting for device_lock - deadlock. Use pci_try_reset_function() which uses pci_dev_trylock() internally. This acquires both the device lock and the PCI config access lock without blocking - if either lock is contended, it returns -EAGAIN immediately. This avoids the deadlock while also ensuring proper config space access serialization during the reset. The pci_dev_get/put calls are also removed as they were unnecessary - the driver-owned workqueue is destroyed in pdsc_remove(), guaranteeing the work completes before remove returns. The PCI core holds its reference to pci_dev throughout the entire unbind sequence. This vulnerability involves a deadlock condition that can occur when the `pci_reset_function()` and `pdsc_remove()` functions are called concurrently. This can cause the system to become unresponsive, leading to a denial of service. This issue affects AMD Pensando (pds_core) devices. Systems without pds_core hardware are not affected.
Medium [CVE-2026-68318] fix use-after-free on workqueue during remove
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pds_core: fix use-after-free on workqueue during remove In pdsc_remove(), the workqueue is destroyed before pdsc_teardown() is called. This ordering allows two paths to queue work on the destroyed workqueue: 1. If pdsc_teardown() -> pdsc_devcmd_reset() times out, the error path in pdsc_devcmd_locked() queues health_work. 2. A NotifyQ event can trigger the ISR and queue work before free_irq() is called in pdsc_teardown(). Fix by moving destroy_workqueue() after pdsc_teardown() so the workqueue outlives every queuer; destroy_workqueue() then flushes any work still pending. Draining the queued work also requires ordering the teardown so the resources that work touches are freed last: - In pdsc_qcq_free(), after freeing the interrupt, cancel_work_sync() the queue's work and only then clear qcq->intx, so pdsc_process_adminq()'s read of qcq->intx for interrupt-credit return cannot race with the clear. - Free adminqcq before notifyqcq: the shared adminq ISR is released when adminqcq is freed, and the adminq work accesses notifyqcq, so both must be stopped before notifyqcq is freed. This timing issue allows for work to be queued on an already destroyed workqueue, which can lead to system instability or potentially other impacts.
Medium [CVE-2026-68317] fix auxiliary device add/del races
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pds_core: fix auxiliary device add/del races Two paths add or delete the same slot (pf->vfs[vf_id].padev): a VF's pdsc_reset_done() and the PF's devlink enable_vnet/disable_vnet handler. They serialize on config_lock, but neither guards the slot under it correctly. add() registers and stores a new auxiliary device without first checking the slot, so a second add of an already-populated slot leaks the first device. del() makes that check outside config_lock, so two concurrent dels can both pass it; the first clears the slot, and the second dereferences a NULL pointer. A race condition exists during the addition and deletion of auxiliary devices, where concurrent operations can lead to a resource leak or a null pointer dereference. This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to cause a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). This issue affects AMD Pensando (pds_core). Systems without pds_core are not affected. 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. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.
