Medium [CVE-2026-68265] Fix BO prefetch with CONSULT_MEM_ADVISE_PREF_LOC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/vm: Fix BO prefetch with CONSULT_MEM_ADVISE_PREF_LOC When prefetch region is DRM_XE_CONSULT_MEM_ADVISE_PREF_LOC for a BO VMA, the code used it as an index into region_to_mem_type[], causing an out-of-bounds access since the value is -1. Resolve the preferred location for BO VMAs directly: local VRAM on dGFX (using the BO's tile placement) or system memory on iGPU. Discovered using AI-assisted static analysis confirmed by Intel Product Security. v2: -Fix null dereference (cherry picked from commit d9a4906ac03be9f6ed3f3b45c56c866b867fd75b) Specifically, within the `drm/xe/vm` module, an out-of-bounds access can occur when handling the `DRM_XE_CONSULT_MEM_ADVISE_PREF_LOC` region for a Buffer Object (BO) Virtual Memory Area (VMA). This happens because a value of -1 is incorrectly used as an index into a memory type array. A local attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service (DoS) or other system instability. 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 9. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.

Medium [CVE-2026-68311] guard link STA in decap offload

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7925: guard link STA in decap offload mt7925_sta_set_decap_offload() iterates over the vif valid_links mask when updating decap offload state for an MLO station. The station may not have a link STA for every valid link of the vif, so mt792x_sta_to_link() can return NULL for a link that belongs to the vif but not to the station. The function currently dereferences mlink before checking whether the link WCID is ready. If mlink is NULL, setting or clearing MT_WCID_FLAG_HDR_TRANS dereferences a NULL pointer. Skip links without a station link before touching mlink->wcid. When handling Multi-Link Operation (MLO) stations, the `mt7925_sta_set_decap_offload()` function can attempt to dereference a null pointer if a station link is not properly associated with a Virtual Interface (VIF) link. This can lead to a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for an affected system. 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).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: audit: fix recursive locking deadlock in audit_dupe_exe() A deadlock occurs in the audit subsystem when duplicating executable-related rules. When a file is moved (e.g., via do_renameat2()), the VFS layer locks the parent directory (I_MUTEX_PARENT), which synchronously triggers an fsnotify_move event. If an existing executable audit rule matches the file being moved, the audit subsystem catches this event and calls audit_dupe_exe() to duplicate the watch and update the rule.

Medium [CVE-2026-68411] clamp virtio RX length before skb_put

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211_hwsim: clamp virtio RX length before skb_put hwsim_virtio_rx_work() passes the virtqueue used-ring length reported by the device straight to skb_put() on a fixed-size receive skb. A backend reporting a length larger than the skb tailroom drives skb_put() past the buffer end and hits skb_over_panic() -- a host-triggerable guest panic (denial of service). A conforming device never reports more than the posted buffer size, so valid frames are unaffected; a truncated over-report then fails the length/header checks in hwsim_virtio_handle_cmd() and is dropped, so truncating rather than dropping here cannot be turned into a parsing problem. A malicious backend device could report an oversized receive length to the `hwsim_virtio_rx_work()` function. This could cause the system to write past the end of a buffer, leading to a kernel panic and a denial of service (DoS) for the guest system. 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-2026-68419] Prevent rereg_mr for non-mem regions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/irdma: Prevent rereg_mr for non-mem regions When a QP/CQ/SRQ is created, a two step process is used where the buffer is allocated in userspace and explicitly registered with the normal reg_mr mechanism prior to creating the actual QP/CQ/SRQ object. These special registrations are indicated via an ABI field so the driver knows that they do not have a valid mkey and to skip the actual CQP command submission. Since these are real MR objects from the core's perspective, it is possible for a user application to invoke rereg_mr on them and cause a real CQP op to be emitted with the zero-initialized mkey value of 0. Fix this by preventing rereg_mr on these special regions. A local user could exploit this by attempting to re-register specific memory regions (Queue Pair, Completion Queue, or Shared Receive Queue objects) that are not intended for re-registration. This could lead to an invalid operation being performed with a zero-initialized memory key, potentially causing system instability. 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-791. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tipc: fix infinite loop in __tipc_nl_compat_dumpit cmd->dumpit callback can return a negative errno, causing an infinite loop due to the while(len) condition. As the loop never terminates, genl_mutex is never released, and other tasks waiting on it starve in D state. Check dumpit's return value, propagate it and jump to err_out on error. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) module. This prevents the release of a critical system lock, causing other processes to become unresponsive and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) condition. 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-835.

Medium [CVE-2026-68408] convert pmsr_free_wk to wiphy_work to fix deadlock

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: cfg80211: convert pmsr_free_wk to wiphy_work to fix deadlock When a netlink socket that owns a PMSR session is closed, cfg80211_release_pmsr() clears the request's nl_portid and queues pmsr_free_wk to call cfg80211_pmsr_process_abort() asynchronously. If the interface tears down concurrently, cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() is called under wiphy_lock and calls cancel_work_sync(&pmsr_free_wk) to wait for any running work. The work function acquires wiphy_lock via guard(wiphy) before calling process_abort. This is a deadlock: wdev_down holds wiphy_lock and blocks inside cancel_work_sync(); pmsr_free_wk blocks trying to acquire that same wiphy_lock. Neither thread can proceed. The same deadlock is reachable from cfg80211_leave_locked(), which calls cfg80211_pmsr_wdev_down() for all interface types under wiphy_lock. Fix this by converting pmsr_free_wk from a plain work_struct to a wiphy_work. The wiphy_work dispatcher holds wiphy_lock when running work items, so the explicit guard(wiphy) in the work function is no longer needed. wiphy_work_cancel() can be called safely while holding wiphy_lock - since wiphy_lock prevents the work from running concurrently, wiphy_work_cancel() never blocks, eliminating the deadlock.

Medium [CVE-2026-68355] fix potential buffer underflow in ath11k_hal_rx_msdu_list_get

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath11k: fix potential buffer underflow in ath11k_hal_rx_msdu_list_get() When the first entry in msdu_details has a zero buffer address, the code accesses msdu_details[i - 1] with i == 0, causing a buffer underflow. Fix similarly to ath12k_wifi7_hal_rx_msdu_list_get() by adding a separate check for i == 0 before the main condition to prevent the out-of-bounds access. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE. When processing Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity) data, a specific function can attempt to access memory outside of its allocated buffer. This buffer underflow occurs if the first entry in a data structure has a zero buffer address, leading to an out-of-bounds read. This could potentially lead to system instability 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-124.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: core: fix uninitialized data in debugfs If *ppos is non-zero then simple_write_to_buffer() will not initialize the start of buf[]. Non zero values for *ppos aren't going to work anyway. Test for them at the start of the function and return -EINVAL. When the *ppos value is non-zero during a call to simple_write_to_buffer(), the start of the buffer (buf[]) may not be properly initialized. This uninitialized data can lead to unpredictable behavior or potential information disclosure. 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-824.

Medium [CVE-2026-68084] fix location monitor leak in tsi148 bridge

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: vme_user: fix location monitor leak in tsi148 bridge tsi148_probe() allocates a location monitor resource and links it into tsi148_bridge->lm_resources. The probe error path frees this list, but tsi148_remove() only frees the dma, slave and master resource lists, so the location monitor resource is leaked on device unbind or module unload. Free the lm_resources list in tsi148_remove() as well, before tsi148_bridge is freed. This vulnerability occurs due to a resource leak where the location monitor resources are not properly freed during device unbind or module unload operations. An attacker could potentially exploit this flaw to exhaust system resources, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS). Red Hat severity: Moderate. Weakness: CWE-772.

Medium [CVE-2026-68085] clear HCI_UART_SENDING when write_work is canceled

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_uart: clear HCI_UART_SENDING when write_work is canceled HCI_UART_SENDING bit in tx_state means write_work is pending and blocks queueing it again. Currently this bit is not cleared when canceling the work in hci_uart_close(), which blocks future writes when device is reopened later if write_work was pending. Fix by clearing HCI_UART_SENDING when canceling the work. Also make clearing of tx_skb safe by using disable_work_sync + enable_work instead of just cancel_work_sync. hci_uart_flush() purges the proto tx queue so we can cancel the pending write_work there, instead of doing it just in hci_uart_close(). Re-enable and possibly requeue the work after queue flush. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth Host Controller Interface (HCI) Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UART) driver. This vulnerability occurs when a Bluetooth device is reopened after a pending write operation was canceled, but an internal flag indicating a pending write is not properly cleared. A local attacker could exploit this to prevent future write operations to the device, leading to a denial of service where Bluetooth functionality for write tasks becomes unresponsive. 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-413.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: time/jiffies: Register jiffies clocksource before usage Teddy reported that a XEN HVM has a long boot delay, which was bisected to the recent enhancements to the negative motion detection. It turned out that the jiffies clocksource is used in early boot before it is registered, which leaves the max_delta_raw field at zero. That causes the read out to be clamped to the max delta of 0, which means time is not making progress. Cure it by ensuring that it is initialized before its first usage in timekeeping_init(). This issue prevents the system's time from progressing, leading to a significant boot delay, particularly observed in Xen Hardware Virtual Machine (HVM) environments. 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-908. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Medium [CVE-2026-68091] stop hardware after post-start probe failures

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: wacom: stop hardware after post-start probe failures wacom_parse_and_register() starts HID hardware before registering inputs and initializing pad LEDs/remotes. Those later steps can fail, but their error paths currently release Wacom resources without stopping the HID hardware. Route post-hid_hw_start() failures through hid_hw_stop() before releasing driver resources. This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research while reviewing kernel code. When the `wacom_parse_and_register()` function encounters failures after starting the Human Interface Device (HID) hardware, its error handling path releases Wacom resources without properly stopping the HID hardware. This improper resource management could lead to system instability or a denial of service (DoS) condition. 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).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: wacom: use GFP_ATOMIC in wacom_wac_queue_flush() wacom_wac_queue_flush() is called via the.raw_event callback (wacom_raw_event → wacom_wac_pen_serial_enforce → wacom_wac_queue_flush). For USB HID devices, this callback is invoked from hid_irq_in(), which is a URB completion handler running in atomic context. Using GFP_KERNEL in this path can sleep, leading to a "scheduling while atomic" bug. The existing code already handles allocation failure by skipping the fifo entry and continuing. Specifically, the Wacom Human Interface Device (HID) driver uses an incorrect memory allocation flag (`GFP_KERNEL`) within a critical section of code that operates in an atomic context. This vulnerability could result in system instability or 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-663.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: watchdog: pretimeout: Fix UAF in watchdog_unregister_governor() When a watchdog governor is unregistered, it updates existing watchdog devices that were using this governor by falling back to `default_gov`. If the governor being unregistered is currently set as `default_gov`, the `default_gov` is never cleared. This leads to 2 use-after-free issues: 1. New watchdog devices registered after this point will inherit the dangling `default_gov`. 2. This can lead to a Use-After-Free (UAF) condition where new or existing watchdog devices may inherit or be reassigned a dangling pointer. This vulnerability could result in 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-825.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: fix bo->pin leaking in amdgpu_bo_create_reserved amdgpu_bo_create_reserved() only allocates a new BO when *bo_ptr (struct amdgpu_bo **bo_ptr as input parameter) is NULL, it simply skips creation when *bo_ptr is non-NULL. But it unconditionally reserves, pins, gart allocates and maps the BO afterwards. When the same non-NULL BO pointer is passed in again, for example firmware buffers that live in adev and are re-loaded on every resume / cp_resume / start under AMDGPU_FW_LOAD_DIRECT, amdgpu_bo_pin() just increases pin_count unconditionally, however the matching teardown only unpins once, so pin_count never drops to zero, so TTM is not able to move, swap or evict a BO, causing BO leaks. This commit fixes this issue by only pinning the bo once at creation, and repeated calls no longer take additional pin references. (cherry picked from commit 3ddc0ae76202c447b6aec61e907b852bc94671cf) The `amdgpu_bo_create_reserved` function unconditionally increments a pin counter for a Buffer Object (BO) even if it is already pinned. This occurs when the function is called multiple times with the same BO, such as during firmware buffer re-loading. As a result, the pin count never drops to zero, preventing the Translation Table Manager (TTM) from properly managing memory.
