High [CVE-2026-68278] fix buffer overflows in sideband chunk accumulation

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/dp/mst: fix buffer overflows in sideband chunk accumulation drm_dp_sideband_append_payload() has three related bugs when processing device-provided sideband reply data: 1. Zero-length curchunk_len underflow: msg_len is a 6-bit field taken directly from the DP sideband header. If a device sends msg_len=0, curchunk_len is set to zero. The condition (curchunk_idx >= curchunk_len) is immediately true, and curchunk_len-1 wraps to 255 (u8 underflow). drm_dp_msg_data_crc4() reads 255 bytes from chunk[48], then memcpy() writes 255 bytes into msg[], both far out of bounds. 2. chunk[48] overflow: curchunk_len can reach 63 (6-bit field). chunk[] is only 48 bytes. Multi-iteration payload assembly appends 16-byte blocks until curchunk_idx reaches curchunk_len, writing up to 15 bytes past the end of chunk[] into msg[]. 3. msg[256] overflow: each chunk contributes (curchunk_len-1) bytes to msg[]. No check ensures curlen + (curchunk_len-1) stays within msg[256], so the memcpy can spill into adjacent struct fields. All three are reachable from any DP MST device that can forge sideband reply messages on a physical connection. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's DisplayPort (DP) Multi-Stream Transport (MST) subsystem.

High [CVE-2026-68276] fix cleaner shader IB buffer overflow

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/gfx: fix cleaner shader IB buffer overflow The cleaner shader sysfs path allocates a 16-dword (64 byte) IB but incorrectly fills (align_mask + 1) dwords. On GFX rings align_mask is 0xff, so the loop wrote 256 dwords into a 64-byte buffer, causing a kernel page fault. The IB only needs to be a minimal NOP shell to schedule the job; the cleaner shader itself is emitted on the ring via emit_cleaner_shader(). Fill 16 dwords to match the allocation. v2: Use ib_size_dw variable (Lijo) (cherry picked from commit bf21af331ebf72d0935fd70c73192414a422c03a) This occurs because the system incorrectly writes 256 double words (dwords) into a buffer allocated for only 16 dwords (64 bytes). Successful exploitation leads to a kernel page fault, causing a denial of service (DoS) on the system. 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).

High [CVE-2026-68274] Fix buffer overflow in steered register list allocation

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/guc: Fix buffer overflow in steered register list allocation The size calculation for the steered register extarray uses only the geometry DSS mask (g_dss_mask) to determine the number of entries to allocate: total = bitmap_weight(gt->fuse_topo.g_dss_mask,...) * steer_reg_num; However, the filling loop uses for_each_dss_steering(), which iterates over for_each_dss(), defined as the union of g_dss_mask and c_dss_mask (geometry + compute DSS). On platforms with compute-only DSS bits, the loop writes past the allocated buffer, corrupting adjacent slab objects. This manifests as list_del corruption and SLUB redzone overwrites during drm_managed_release on device unbind, since the overflow corrupts the drmres list_head of neighboring allocations. Fix by computing the allocation size using the union of both DSS masks, matching the iteration pattern of for_each_dss_steering(). -- v2: - use bitmap_weighted_or() (Zhanjun) (cherry picked from commit 0a78a44f4901aa6c9263e66be7fce02282f1109f) This memory corruption can result in system instability and a denial of service.

High [CVE-2026-68257] fix 32-bit overflow in CWSR total size calculation

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: fix 32-bit overflow in CWSR total size calculation total_cwsr_size was computed in 32-bit before being used as a BO/SVM allocation size. With large ctx_save_restore_area_size and debug_memory_size multiplied by the XCC count, the product can wrap, yielding an undersized CWSR save area that firmware later overruns. Promote total_cwsr_size to u64 and use check_add_overflow()/ check_mul_overflow() in both kfd_queue_acquire_buffers() and kfd_queue_release_buffers(). (cherry picked from commit 319f7e13423ae3f486b9aea82f9ad2d6af0ee608) When processing large input values, this calculation can result in an undersized memory region, which can then be overrun by firmware.

High [CVE-2026-68253] check streams bounds before overflow

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/i915/hdcp: check streams[] bounds before overflow The data->streams[] overflow check is done after the buffer overflow has already happened. Side note, emitting a warning splat with a backtrace might be overkill here, but prefer not changing the behaviour other than not doing the overrun. Discovered using AI-assisted static analysis confirmed by Intel Product Security. (cherry picked from commit 9284ab3b6e776c315883ac2611283d263c9460fd) A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `drm/i915/hdcp` component, which handles display-related operations. This vulnerability arises because a check for buffer overflow is performed after the overflow has already occurred during a write operation. This improper handling of memory boundaries can lead to memory corruption, potentially allowing a local attacker to cause 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-787.

High [CVE-2026-68202] close a re-opened queue timer in the destructor

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: seq: close a re-opened queue timer in the destructor queue_delete() closes the queue timer, then frees it. snd_seq_timer_close() clears q->timer->timeri. snd_use_lock_sync() then drains borrowers, and snd_seq_timer_delete() frees q->timer. A borrower can re-open the timer inside that window. A SET_QUEUE_CLIENT that took a queueptr() use_lock reference before the queue was unlinked runs snd_seq_timer_open() after the close. Open refuses re-open only while timeri is set, and the close just cleared it, so it re-opens timeri. snd_seq_timer_delete() does not close that instance. Its snd_seq_timer_stop() is a no-op, because running was cleared first. So it frees q->timer with the instance still live. The queue is freed next. A non-owner START on the unlocked queue arms it. Reachable by an unprivileged user with access to /dev/snd/seq. No CAP and no queue ownership required. Close any lingering instance in the destructor. There, ->timeri can no longer change: the queue is unlinked and all use_lock borrowers have drained, so no snd_seq_queue_use() can re-open it. Close it before clearing q->timer. snd_timer_close() waits for any in-flight snd_seq_timer_interrupt() to finish, and that callback still reads q->timer (via snd_seq_check_queue()), so q->timer must stay valid until it drains.

High [CVE-2026-68200] Linux kernel: ALSA timer use-after-free vulnerability allows privilege escalation

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: timer: don't re-enter an instance callback that is still running The userspace-driven timer (utimer) TRIGGER ioctl calls snd_timer_interrupt() directly with no serialization, so two threads triggering the same utimer can run snd_timer_interrupt() on one snd_timer concurrently. snd_timer_process_callbacks() drops timer->lock around each instance callback and marks the in-flight callback with the single SNDRV_TIMER_IFLG_CALLBACK bit; snd_timer_close_locked() waits on that bit to drain an in-flight callback before freeing the instance. The bit cannot represent two concurrent callbacks: when a second interrupt re-queues an instance whose callback is still running, both run at once, the first to finish clears the bit, and the close-path drain then frees the instance (and its callback_data) while the other callback is still live - a use-after-free reachable by any user able to open /dev/snd/timer, both via a user timer instance and via a sequencer queue timer bound to the utimer. snd_timer_interrupt() sets IFLG_CALLBACK before dropping timer->lock, so a concurrent interrupt already observes it under the lock. Skip re-queuing an instance (and its slaves) to the ack/sack list while its callback is in flight; the accumulated pticks are delivered on the next tick, so no event is lost.

High [CVE-2026-68198] Linux kernel: Use-after-free in ath6kl Wi-Fi driver leading to denial of service

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath6kl: fix use-after-free in aggr_reset_state() The aggr_reset_state() function uses timer_delete() (non-synchronous) for the aggregation timer before proceeding to delete TID state and before the structure is freed by callers like aggr_module_destroy(). If the timer callback (aggr_timeout) is executing when aggr_reset_state() is called, the callback will continue to access aggr_conn fields like rx_tid[] and stat[] which may be freed immediately after by kfree(aggr_info->aggr_conn) in aggr_module_destroy(). Additionally, the timer callback can re-arm itself via mod_timer() while aggr_reset_state() is running, creating a more complex race condition. Use timer_delete_sync() instead to ensure any running timer callback has completed before returning. This occurs because a non-synchronous timer deletion allows a timer callback (`aggr_timeout`) to access memory that has already been freed, creating a race condition. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause system instability or a denial of service. This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service by triggering a race condition in the aggregation state reset function. Exploitation requires the presence and active use of specific Qualcomm Atheros wireless hardware.

High [CVE-2026-68188] Linux kernel Bluetooth RFCOMM: Denial of Service via use-after-free in set_termios

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: RFCOMM: Fix session UAF in set_termios rfcomm_tty_set_termios() tests dlc->session without rfcomm_mutex and later passes the pointer to rfcomm_send_rpn(). The latter dereferences both session->initiator and session->sock. Meanwhile, krfcommd can unlink the DLC and free the session while holding rfcomm_mutex. Have the TTY path use the helper and drop its unlocked session check. This keeps the session valid through both the frame construction and socket send. A race condition in the `rfcomm_tty_set_termios()` function allows a session to be freed while it is still actively in use. This use-after-free (UAF) vulnerability can be exploited by a local attacker. Successful exploitation leads to a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

High [CVE-2026-68171] Ensure saved x0 is kept in-sync with tracer updates

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's arm64 syscall handling. A local attacker with the ability to trace processes (using ptrace) could manipulate syscall arguments after security checks (like seccomp, or secure computing mode) have been performed. This occurs because the kernel's internal record of the first syscall argument (x0) is not updated when a tracer modifies the actual register, leading to security mechanisms observing outdated information. This could potentially allow a bypass of security policies or lead to incorrect auditing. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-807.

High [CVE-2026-68166] Linux kernel: Arbitrary code execution via userfaultfd shadow stack manipulation

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: userfaultfd: prevent registration of special VMAs Vova Tokarev says: userfaultfd allows registration on shadow stack VMAs. With userfaultfd access, you can register on the shadow stack, discard a page... and inject a page with chosen return addresses via UFFDIO_COPY. Update vma_can_userfault() to reject VM_SHADOW_STACK. While on it, also reject VM_SPECIAL so that if a driver would implement vm_uffd_ops, it wouldn't be possible to register special VMAs with userfaultfd. Since VM_SPECIAL includes VM_DONTEXPAND which is set but hugetlb, exclude hugetlb VMAs from the check for VM_SPECIAL. A local attacker with userfaultfd access could register on shadow stack Virtual Memory Areas (VMAs). By discarding a page and injecting a page with chosen return addresses, an attacker could achieve arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability arises from the improper handling of special VMAs, including shadow stacks, allowing for manipulation of memory regions. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:H). Weakness: CWE-94.

High [CVE-2026-68162] avoid auth_enable sysctl UAF during netns teardown

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: avoid auth_enable sysctl UAF during netns teardown proc_sctp_do_auth() updates the SCTP control socket after changing net.sctp.auth_enable. The handler gets the per-net SCTP state from ctl->data, so an already opened sysctl file can still target a network namespace while that namespace is being torn down. SCTP previously registered its per-net sysctls from sctp_defaults_init(), while the control socket is created later from sctp_ctrlsock_init(). This exposed a window during initialization where auth_enable was writable before net->sctp.ctl_sock existed, and a teardown window where auth_enable stayed writable after inet_ctl_sock_destroy() had released the control socket. Move the per-net SCTP sysctl registration into sctp_ctrlsock_init() after sctp_ctl_sock_init() succeeds, and unregister the sysctl table before destroying the control socket in sctp_ctrlsock_exit(). If sysctl registration fails after the control socket was created, destroy the control socket in the same init path. Make sctp_sysctl_net_unregister() tolerate a missing header and clear the saved pointer so init-error and exit paths can safely share the unregister helper. A flaw was found in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation within the Linux kernel.

High [CVE-2026-68161] close UDP tunnel sockets during netns teardown

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sctp: close UDP tunnel sockets during netns teardown proc_sctp_do_udp_port() starts per-net SCTP UDP tunneling sockets when net.sctp.udp_port is set, and stops/restarts them when the sysctl value changes. The netns exit path does not stop these sockets, so a namespace can be torn down while its SCTP UDP tunnel sockets are still installed. This prevents new sysctl writes from racing in while the sockets are being released, and closes the sockets before the control socket is destroyed. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SCTP (Stream Control Transmission Protocol) implementation. This oversight can lead to a resource leak, potentially resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition due to resource exhaustion or unexpected behavior during subsequent system calls. 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-772.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: libceph: bound pg_{temp,upmap,upmap_items} length to CEPH_PG_MAX_SIZE __decode_pg_temp() decodes an user-controlled length but only rejects values large enough to overflow the allocation; it does not bound it to CEPH_PG_MAX_SIZE. The helper backs both pg_temp and pg_upmap decoding, and apply_upmap()/get_temp_osds() later copy the decoded list into the fixed-size on-stack array struct ceph_osds.osds[CEPH_PG_MAX_SIZE]. A monitor that sends an OSDMap with a pg_temp/pg_upmap entry longer than 32 thus causes a stack out-of-bounds write. An OSD set for a single PG can never exceed CEPH_PG_MAX_SIZE, so reject longer entries at decode time. The bound is well below the old overflow threshold, so it also covers the allocation-size overflow the previous check guarded against.

High [CVE-2026-68156] refresh auth->authorizer_buf{,_len} after authorizer update

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: libceph: refresh auth->authorizer_buf{,_len} after authorizer update ceph_x_create_authorizer() caches au->buf->vec.iov_base and au->buf->vec.iov_len in struct ceph_auth_handshake. These cached values are then used by the messenger connect code when sending the authorizer. ceph_x_update_authorizer() can rebuild the authorizer when a newer service ticket is available. If the rebuilt authorizer no longer fits in the existing buffer, ceph_x_build_authorizer() drops its reference to au->buf and allocates a new one. If this is the final reference, ceph_buffer_put() frees the old ceph_buffer and its vec.iov_base, but auth->authorizer_buf still points at that freed memory. A subsequent msgr1 reconnect can therefore queue the stale pointer and trigger a KASAN slab-use-after-free in _copy_from_iter() while tcp_sendmsg() copies the authorizer. Refresh auth->authorizer_buf and auth->authorizer_buf_len after a successful authorizer rebuild so the messenger sends the current buffer. During an authorizer update, if the authorizer is rebuilt, a stale pointer to a freed memory region can be retained. A remote attacker could exploit this by triggering a specific network reconnection, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. This memory corruption could result in a system crash or denial of service.

The mapper relies on that invariant and uses type 0 to identify leaf devices. If crush_decode() accepts a bucket with type 0, a malformed CRUSH map can make the mapper treat a negative bucket ID as a device and pass it to is_out(), which then indexes the OSD weight array with a negative value. Reject zero bucket types while decoding the CRUSH map so the invalid state never reaches the mapper. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted CRUSH map with a zero bucket type. This could result in 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-125.
