Medium [CVE-2026-72060] guard PA stat lookups

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ethernet: ti: icssg: guard PA stat lookups icssg_ndo_get_stats64() unconditionally calls emac_get_stat_by_name() with FW PA stat names regardless of whether the PA stats block is present on the hardware. emac_get_stat_by_name() already guards the PA stats lookup with `if (emac->prueth->pa_stats)`; when that pointer is NULL the lookup falls through to netdev_err() and returns -EINVAL. Because ndo_get_stats64 is polled regularly by the networking stack this produces thousands of log entries of the form: icssg-prueth icssg1-eth end0: Invalid stats FW_RX_ERROR A secondary consequence is that the int(-EINVAL) return value is implicitly widened to a near-ULLONG_MAX unsigned value when accumulated into the __u64 fields of rtnl_link_stats64, silently corrupting the rx_errors, rx_dropped and tx_dropped counters reported by `ip -s link`. Every other PA-aware code path in the driver is already guarded with the same `if (emac->prueth->pa_stats)` check. Apply the same guard here. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Texas Instruments (TI) Industrial Communication Subsystem Gigabit (ICSSG) ethernet driver. This vulnerability occurs because the driver attempts to read hardware performance statistics even when they are unavailable.

Medium [CVE-2026-72015] Fix double-add of pseudo-locked region's RMID to free list

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `fs/resctrl` component. A double-free vulnerability occurs when a pseudo-locked group's Resource Monitoring ID (RMID) is freed upon creation and then again during unmount operations by the `rmdir_all_sub()` function. This double-free can lead to memory corruption, potentially causing system instability or unexpected behavior. 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-2026-72047] fix pointer truncation in kfifo on 64-bit

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ieee802154: ca8210: fix pointer truncation in kfifo on 64-bit ca8210_test_int_driver_write() and ca8210_test_int_user_read() exchange a kmalloc'd buffer pointer through a struct kfifo, but pass a literal '4' as the byte count to kfifo_in()/kfifo_out(). This is correct on 32-bit (pointer = 4 bytes), but on 64-bit only the low 4 bytes of the 8-byte pointer are written into the FIFO. The reader then reads back 4 bytes into an 8-byte local pointer variable, leaving the upper 4 bytes uninitialized stack data. The first dereference of the reconstructed pointer (fifo_buffer[1]) accesses an arbitrary kernel address and generally results in an oops. Use sizeof(fifo_buffer) so the byte count matches pointer width on every architecture. The driver has no architecture restriction in Kconfig, so any 64-bit build with CONFIG_IEEE802154_CA8210_DEBUGFS=y is exposed. Issue has been latent since the driver was added in 2017 because it is most commonly deployed on 32-bit MCUs. Found via a custom Coccinelle semantic patch hunting for short-byte kfifo I/O on byte-mode kfifos used to shuttle pointers. On 64-bit systems, a pointer truncation vulnerability occurs during internal buffer operations. This issue causes only a partial pointer to be written, leading to an uninitialized upper portion when read back.

Medium [CVE-2026-72096] make error counter atomic

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's dm-verity component. The 'corrupted_errs' counter, which tracks errors in corrupted blocks, was not atomic. This vulnerability could allow a race condition to occur, potentially causing the system to skip auditing when the maximum number of corrupted errors is reached. This could lead to a lack of visibility into critical system integrity issues. 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-663.

Medium [CVE-2026-72040] fix refcount leak in i_ipmi_request

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) subsystem. When a caller provides a message to the `i_ipmi_request()` function, a reference count is incremented. However, if an error occurs during this process, the reference count is not properly decremented, resulting in a permanent resource leak. This resource leak could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on 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).

Medium [CVE-2026-72031] Add NOLPM quirk for PNY CS900 1TB SSD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ata: libata-core: Add NOLPM quirk for PNY CS900 1TB SSD The PNY CS900 1TB SSD (Phison PS3111-S11, DRAM-less) drops off the bus after entering Device-Initiated Slumber during idle. With the default med_power_with_dipm policy the link goes down (SStatus 1 SControl 300) and does not recover, forcing the filesystem read-only. Forcing max_performance keeps the link stable across prolonged idle. Add a NOLPM quirk so link power management is disabled for this drive specifically, leaving it intact for other devices on the host. This issue prevents the system from accessing the drive, forcing the filesystem into a read-only state, which results in a Denial of Service (DoS). Red Hat severity: Low — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-920.

Medium [CVE-2026-72062] avoid corruption of shared interrupt trigger state

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gpio: mt7621: avoid corruption of shared interrupt trigger state The bank-shared fields like 'rising' and 'falling' are modified using non-atomic read-modify-write operations. Since every gpio chip instance represents an entire bank of 32 pins, if 'mediatek_gpio_irq_type()' is called concurrently for different IRQs on the same bank a possible overwrite of each other's configuration is possible. Thus, protect this state with 'gpio_generic_lock_irqsave' lock in the same way it is handled in irp_chip 'mediatek_gpio_irq_mask()' and 'mediatek_gpio_irq_unmask()' callbacks. This corruption of the shared interrupt trigger state could result in incorrect interrupt handling and potential 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-366.

Medium [CVE-2026-72104] reject option groups without values

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-pcache: reject option groups without values The pcache target parses optional arguments as name/value pairs. A table that advertises one optional argument and supplies only a recognized option name, for example "cache_mode", reaches parse_cache_opts() with argc == 1. The parser consumes the name, decrements argc to zero, then calls dm_shift_arg() again for the value. dm_shift_arg() returns NULL when no arguments remain, and the following strcmp() dereferences that NULL pointer. Check that each recognized option has a value before consuming it. This keeps valid "cache_mode writeback" and "data_crc true/false" tables unchanged while making malformed tables fail during target construction with a precise missing-value error. A local user could trigger a system crash by providing a malformed table to the pcache target. This occurs because the system attempts to process an option without a value, leading to a critical error. The primary impact is a Denial of Service (DoS), which could make the system unavailable. 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-2026-72128] fix refcount leak in nvmet_sq_create

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet: fix refcount leak in nvmet_sq_create() In nvmet_sq_create(), a reference on the ctrl is taken via kref_get_unless_zero() before calling nvmet_check_sqid(). If nvmet_check_sqid() fails, the function returns the error directly without releasing the reference, leading to a leak. Fix this by jumping to the "ctrl_put" label, which already performs the necessary nvmet_ctrl_put(ctrl). This ensures the reference is properly released on this error path. A flaw was found in the `nvmet` (NVMe over Fabrics target) component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability occurs in the `nvmet_sq_create()` function, where a reference to a controller object is not properly released if a specific check fails. An attacker could potentially exploit this reference count leak to exhaust system resources, leading to 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-911. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

Medium [CVE-2026-72008] Fix possible nullptr KP in HWV cleanup/on-check

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pmdomain: mediatek: Fix possible nullptr KP in HWV cleanup/on-check Should probe fail for HW_VOTER type power domains, this driver was unconditionally trying to perform cleanup for DIRECT_CTL domains, but only after checking if the target domain is powered on... with the DIRECT_CTL scpsys_domain_is_on() code again. And there's more: the scpsys_domain_is_on() function is also being unconditionally used in the probe path, for any power domain that has flag MTK_SCPD_KEEP_DEFAULT_OFF! This bug was never experienced by anyone because the HWV domains never failed probe, and because none of those is declared with the aforementioned flag - but it's still something critical. In order to fix this, add a check for MTCMOS Type and, based on that, call the correct functions for an "is on" check, and also do the same for the cleanup path, calling the correct functions for the "power off" action. For the latter, since there's a call to pm_genpd_remove() right before calling power_off, be cautious and add a variation of the power off functions (with a _internal suffix) for those to get a pointer to scpsys_domain instead of one to generic_pm_domain as, even if that's still working, this is way too much fragile and would break at some point.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-integrity: fix a bug if the bio is out of limits If dm_integrity_check_limits fails, the code would exit with DM_MAPIO_KILL. However, the range would be already locked at this point, and it wouldn't be unlocked, resulting in a deadlock. Let's move the limit check up, so that when it exits, no resources are leaked. This issue occurs when the `dm_integrity_check_limits` function fails, leading to a resource remaining locked. A local attacker could potentially trigger this condition, resulting in a system deadlock and 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-833. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

Medium [CVE-2026-72033] keep the readdir entry size 64-bit in fill_from_part

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: orangefs: keep the readdir entry size 64-bit in fill_from_part() fill_from_part() computes the size of a directory entry in size_t but stores it in a __u32. An entry length near U32_MAX wraps it to a small value, bypasses the bounds check, and is then used to index the entry, reading far past the directory part -- an out-of-bounds read that oopses the kernel. Compute the size as a u64 so it cannot truncate; the bounds check then rejects the entry. The trailer is supplied by the userspace client. A flaw was found in OrangeFS, a file system within the Linux kernel. An integer overflow occurs in the fill_from_part() function when calculating the size of a directory entry. This happens because the size is computed as a 64-bit value but stored as a 32-bit value, allowing a large entry length to wrap around. A local attacker or malicious userspace client can exploit this by providing a specially crafted directory entry, leading to an out-of-bounds read and a kernel crash. 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.

If the workqueue allocation fails, the error path unregisters the switchdev and netdevice notifiers, but leaves the blocking notifier registered. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `sparx5` network driver. An improper cleanup during initialization failure can leave a `switchdev` blocking notifier registered. This issue could lead to resource exhaustion or system instability, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pmdomain: imx93-blk-ctrl: Extract PHY as shared domain for DSI/CSI The MIPI DSI and CSI domains share control bits for clock and reset, which can lead to incorrect behavior if one domain disables the shared resource while the other is still active. To fix the issue, introduce a shared MIPI PHY power domain to own the common resources and make DSI and CSI its subdomains. This ensures the shared bits are properly managed and not disabled while still in use. This can result in a denial of service (DoS) or system instability.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: macb: drop in-flight Tx SKBs on close The MACB driver has since forever leaked the outgoing SKBs that have not yet been marked as completed. They live in queue->tx_skb which gets freed without remorse nor checking. macb_free_consistent() gets called in a few codepaths, but only close will trigger the added expressions. In macb_open() and macb_alloc_consistent() failure cases, queues' tx_skb just got allocated and are empty. This driver fails to properly release outgoing Socket Kernel Buffers (SKBs) when the driver is closed. This continuous leakage of resources can lead to resource exhaustion over time, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition for the system.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: bcm: fix data race on rx_stamp/rx_ifindex in bcm_rx_handler() For an rx op subscribed on all interfaces (ifindex == 0), the same op is registered once in the shared per-netns wildcard filter list, so bcm_rx_handler() can run concurrently on different CPUs for frames arriving on different net devices. op->rx_stamp and op->rx_ifindex were written before bcm_rx_update_lock was taken, allowing concurrent writers to race each other - including a torn store of the 64-bit rx_stamp on 32-bit platforms. Beyond a torn store bcm_send_to_user() must report the timestamp/ifindex of the very same frame whose content it is delivering. So the assignment is placed in the same unbroken bcm_rx_update_lock section as the content comparison. As a side effect, the RTR-request frame feature (which never reach bcm_send_to_user()) no longer updates rx_stamp/rx_ifindex, since only the notification path needs them. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's CAN (Controller Area Network) Broadcast Manager (BCM) module. A data race condition exists in the `bcm_rx_handler()` function where the `rx_stamp` and `rx_ifindex` values are written without proper locking.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: bcm: fix lockless bound/ifindex race and silent RX_SETUP failure bcm_sendmsg() reads bo->ifindex and checks bo->bound before taking lock_sock(), while bcm_notify(), bcm_connect() and bcm_release() all mutate both fields under that same lock. Because the lockless reads and the locked writes are unordered with respect to each other, a racing bcm_notify() (device unregister) or bcm_connect() (concurrent bind on another thread sharing the socket) can make bcm_sendmsg() observe an inconsistent combination, e.g. a stale bound=1 together with the now-cleared ifindex=0, silently turning a socket bound to a specific CAN interface into one that also matches "any" interface. Keep the lockless bo->bound check purely as a fast-path reject, and move the ifindex read (and a bo->bound re-check) into the locked section, where every writer already serializes. This removes the possibility of observing the two fields torn against each other, rather than trying to fix it with more READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() pairs on two independently updated fields. Annotate the now-purely-lockless bo->bound accesses consistently across all its write sites.

Medium [CVE-2026-72034] reject detached mounts in capable_wrt_mount

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fhandle: reject detached mounts in capable_wrt_mount() The recent fhandle RCU fix moved the mount namespace capability check into capable_wrt_mount(), so a non-NULL mnt_namespace survives the ns_capable() dereference. The helper still assumes the later READ_ONCE(mount->mnt_ns) must be non-NULL because may_decode_fh() checked is_mounted() first. That assumption is not stable. A detached mount from open_tree(..., OPEN_TREE_CLONE) can be dissolved on fput while open_by_handle_at() is between those checks, and umount_tree() can clear mount->mnt_ns. If the helper observes NULL, it dereferences mnt_ns->user_ns and panics. Return false when the RCU read observes a detached mount. This keeps the relaxed permission path conservative: a mount no longer attached to a namespace cannot authorize open_by_handle_at() access. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's file handle (fhandle) mechanism. A local attacker could exploit a vulnerability in the capable_wrt_mount() function, which incorrectly handles detached mounts. By performing specific operations, an attacker could trigger a null pointer dereference, leading to a system panic and causing a Denial of Service (DoS) on the affected system.

Medium [CVE-2026-72004] fix memory leak in ieee80211_register_hw

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: fix memory leak in ieee80211_register_hw() If kmemdup() fails while copying supported band structures, the error path jumps to fail_rate. This skips rate_control_deinitialize() and leaks the initialized local->rate_ctrl. Fix this by adding a fail_band label that shares the rate-control cleanup path before falling through to the remaining teardown. The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still present in v7.1-rc7. An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have a suitable mac80211 device/driver combination to test with, no runtime testing was able to be performed. This issue occurs when the system attempts to copy Wi-Fi band structures, and an error during this process causes a memory resource to not be properly released. This oversight leads to a memory leak within the kernel, which could potentially impact system stability or lead to a 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-772.
