High [CVE-2026-64523] Take a long-lived file reference at submit
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/handshake: Take a long-lived file reference at submit handshake_nl_accept_doit() needs the file pointer backing req->hr_sk->sk_socket to survive the window between handshake_req_next() and the subsequent FD_PREPARE() and get_file(). The submit-side sock_hold() does not provide that. sk_refcnt keeps struct sock alive, but struct socket is owned by sock->file: when the consumer fputs the last file reference, sock_release() tears the socket down regardless of any sock_hold. Add an hr_file pointer to struct handshake_req and acquire an explicit reference on sock->file during handshake_req_submit(). handshake_complete() and handshake_req_cancel() release the reference on the completion-bit-winning path. The submit error path must also release the file reference, but after rhashtable insertion a concurrent handshake_req_cancel() can discover the request and race the error path. Gate the error-path cleanup -- sk_destruct restoration, fput, and request destruction -- with test_and_set_bit(HANDSHAKE_F_REQ_COMPLETED), the same serialization handshake_complete() and handshake_req_cancel() already use. When cancel has already claimed ownership, the submit error path returns without touching the request; socket teardown handles final destruction.
High [CVE-2026-64286] Clear __hyp_running_vcpu when flushing the pKVM hyp vCPU
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: Clear __hyp_running_vcpu when flushing the pKVM hyp vCPU flush_hyp_vcpu() copies the host vCPU context into the hyp's private vCPU on every run. ctxt_to_vcpu() expects a guest context to have a NULL __hyp_running_vcpu, which is only ever set on the host context, so that it resolves the vCPU via container_of(). While this is generally the case, flush_hyp_vcpu() copies the context verbatim and does not enforce this, so a value provided by the host is dereferenced at EL2 (host -> EL2). Fix by clearing __hyp_running_vcpu after the copy. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) for arm64 architecture. The `flush_hyp_vcpu()` function, responsible for copying the host virtual CPU (vCPU) context, does not properly clear a specific internal pointer (`__hyp_running_vcpu`). This oversight allows a host to provide a value that is then improperly accessed (dereferenced) at Exception Level 2 (EL2), potentially leading to arbitrary memory access within the hypervisor. This could allow a malicious host to compromise the integrity or availability of the hypervisor. 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 9. Red Hat does not currently list a fixing RHSA for this CVE.
High [CVE-2026-64438] qat - fix VF2PF work teardown race in adf_disable_sriov
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: qat - fix VF2PF work teardown race in adf_disable_sriov() The VF2PF interrupt handler queues PF-side response work that stores a raw pointer to per-VF state (struct adf_accel_vf_info). Currently, adf_disable_sriov() destroys per-VF mutexes and frees vf_info without stopping new VF2PF work or waiting for in-flight workers to complete. A concurrently scheduled or already queued worker can then dereference freed memory. This manifests as a use-after-free when KASAN is enabled: BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in mutex_lock+0x76/0xe0 Write of size 8 at addr 0000000000000260 by task kworker/24:2/...

Set this flag atomically with the hardware interrupt mask inside adf_disable_all_vf2pf_interrupts().
High [CVE-2026-64371] protect ptrace_may_access with exec_update_lock (part 1)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: proc: protect ptrace_may_access() with exec_update_lock (part 1) Fix the easy cases where procfs currently calls ptrace_may_access() without exec_update_lock protection, where the fix is to simply add the extra lock or use mm_access(): - do_task_stat(): grab exec_update_lock - proc_pid_wchan(): grab exec_update_lock - proc_map_files_lookup(): use mm_access() instead of get_task_mm() - proc_map_files_readdir(): use mm_access() instead of get_task_mm() - proc_ns_get_link(): grab exec_update_lock - proc_ns_readlink(): grab exec_update_lock A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `procfs` (a virtual filesystem that provides information about running processes). This vulnerability occurs because certain functions within `procfs` do not properly protect access to process memory information. A local attacker could exploit this missing protection to potentially disclose sensitive information about other processes, which could lead to further system compromise. 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 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-2026-64386] fix query_info replay double-free
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smb: client: fix query_info() replay double-free A response-bearing attempt can return a replayable error and free its response buffer. If SMB2_query_info_init() fails before the next send, cleanup retains the previous buffer type and frees that response again. Reset response bookkeeping before each attempt to prevent the stale free. This can happen if an error occurs during the initialization of an SMB2 query before the next data send, leading to the same memory being freed twice. Such an issue can result in memory corruption, potentially causing a denial of service (DoS) condition for the system. 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-1341. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 Extended Update Support; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.6 Extended Update Support. Red Hat lists Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Hardened Images as not affected.

Medium [CVE-2026-64415] add cond_resched in swap_reclaim_full_clusters to prevent softlockup
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/swap: add cond_resched() in swap_reclaim_full_clusters to prevent softlockup We hit a real softlockup in an internal stress test environment. The workload was LTP memory/swap stress on a large arm64 machine, with 320 CPUs, about 1TB memory and an 8.6GB swap device. The system was under heavy load and the swap device had a large number of full clusters. The softlockup was triggered during a stress test after about 3 days. So, add periodic cond_resched() calls during large full_clusters reclaim operations to prevent softlockup issues. Detailed call trace as follow: PID: 3817773 TASK: ffff0883bb28b780 CPU: 48 COMMAND: "kworker/48:7" #0 [ffff800080183d10] __crash_kexec at ffffa4c1361e5de4 #1 [ffff800080183d90] panic at ffffa4c1360d5e9c #2 [ffff800080183e20] watchdog_timer_fn at ffffa4c136231fa8... #16 [ffff8000c4ad3cb0] swap_cache_del_folio at ffffa4c1363e1614 #17 [ffff8000c4ad3ce0] __try_to_reclaim_swap at ffffa4c1363e4bfc #18 [ffff8000c4ad3d40] swap_reclaim_full_clusters at ffffa4c1363e5474 #19 [ffff8000c4ad3da0] swap_reclaim_work at ffffa4c1363e550c #20 [ffff8000c4ad3dc0] process_one_work at ffffa4c136102edc #21 [ffff8000c4ad3e10] worker_thread at ffffa4c136103398 #22 [ffff8000c4ad3e70] kthread at ffffa4c13610d95c A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's memory management (mm/swap) component.
Medium [CVE-2026-64269] Bound RDMA-Write length to chunk size in rdma_write_sg
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/rtrs-srv: Bound RDMA-Write length to chunk size in rdma_write_sg When the server answers an RTRS READ, rdma_write_sg() builds the source scatter/gather entry for the IB_WR_RDMA_WRITE that returns data to the peer. Its length is taken directly from the wire descriptor: plist->length = le32_to_cpu(id->rd_msg->desc[0].len); rd_msg points into the chunk buffer that the remote peer filled via RDMA-WRITE-WITH-IMM (rtrs_srv_rdma_done() -> process_io_req() -> process_read()), so desc[0].len is attacker-controlled and, before this change, was only rejected when zero. The source address is the fixed chunk start (dma_addr[msg_id]) and the source lkey is the PD-wide local_dma_lkey, which is not tied to the chunk's MR mapping, so the verbs layer does not constrain the transfer length to max_chunk_size. msg_id and off are bounded against queue_depth and max_chunk_size in rtrs_srv_rdma_done(), but desc[0].len is a separate field that was not checked against the chunk size. A peer that advertises desc[0].len larger than max_chunk_size can make the posted RDMA write read past the chunk's mapped region.
Medium [CVE-2026-64452] fix NHC entry use-after-free on error path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: 6lowpan: fix NHC entry use-after-free on error path lowpan_nhc_do_uncompression() looks up an NHC descriptor while holding lowpan_nhc_lock. If the descriptor has no uncompress callback, the error path drops the lock before printing nhc->name. lowpan_nhc_del() removes descriptors under the same lock and then relies on synchronize_net() before the owning module can be unloaded. That only waits for net RX RCU readers. lowpan_header_decompress() is also exported and can be reached from callers that are not necessarily covered by the net core RX critical section, for example the Bluetooth 6LoWPAN L2CAP receive path. This leaves a race where one task drops lowpan_nhc_lock in the error path, another task unregisters and frees the matching descriptor after synchronize_net() returns, and the first task then dereferences nhc->name for the warning. With the post-unlock window widened, KASAN reports: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in lowpan_nhc_do_uncompression+0x1f4/0x220 Read of size 8 lowpan_nhc_do_uncompression lowpan_header_decompress Fix this by printing the warning before dropping lowpan_nhc_lock, so the descriptor name is read while unregister is still excluded. The malformed packet is still rejected with -ENOTSUPP.
Medium [CVE-2026-64285] Pin source page for write when adding CPUID data for SNP guest
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: SEV: Pin source page for write when adding CPUID data for SNP guest When populating a guest_memfd instance with the initial CPUID data for an SNP guest, acquire a writable pin on the source page as KVM will write back the "correct" CPUID information if the userspace provided data is rejected by trusted firmware. Because KVM writes to the source page using a kernel mapping, pinning for read could result in KVM clobbering read-only memory. Note, well-behaved VMMs are unlikely to be affected, as CPUID information is almost always dynamically generated by userspace, i.e. it's unlikely for the CPUID information to be backed by a read-only mapping. [sean: rewrite shortlog and changelog, tag for stable@] A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) component, specifically within the Secure Nested Paging (SNP) guest functionality. When KVM populates a guest's CPUID (Central Processor Unit Identifier) data, it may attempt to write to a source memory page that is intended to be read-only. This incorrect memory pinning could lead to memory corruption, potentially allowing an attacker to overwrite sensitive data within the kernel. Red Hat severity: Moderate. Weakness: CWE-787.
Medium [CVE-2026-64424] fix a use-after-free on shutdown path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netpoll: fix a use-after-free on shutdown path There is a use-after-free error on netpoll, which is clearly detected by KASAN. BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x3b/0x80 Read of size 1 at addr... by task kworker/9:1 Workqueue: events queue_process Call Trace: skb_dequeue+0x1e/0xb0 queue_process+0x2c/0x600 process_scheduled_works+0x4b6/0x850 worker_thread+0x414/0x5a0 Allocated by task 242: __netpoll_setup+0x201/0x4a0 netpoll_setup+0x249/0x550 enabled_store+0x32f/0x380 Freed by task 0: kfree+0x1b7/0x540 rcu_core+0x3f8/0x7a0 The problem happens when there is a pending TX worker running in parallel with the cleanup path. This is what happens on netpoll shutdown path: 1) __netpoll_cleanup() is called 2) set dev->npinfo to NULL 3) call_rcu() with rcu_cleanup_netpoll_info() 3.1) rcu_cleanup_netpoll_info() tries to cancel all workers with cancel_delayed_work(), but doesn't wait for the worker to finish 4) and kfree(npinfo); Because 3.1) doesn't really cancel the work, as the comment says "we can't call cancel_delayed_work_sync here, as we are in softirq", the TX worker can run after 4). Tl;DR: queue_process() is not an RCU reader, it reaches npinfo through the work item via container_of().
Medium [CVE-2026-64431] avoid calling post_write_mst_fixup for invalid index_block
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ntfs: avoid calling post_write_mst_fixup() for invalid index_block ntfs_icx_ib_sync_write() calls post_write_mst_fixup() when ntfs_ib_write() returns an error, intending to restore the buffer after a failed write. However, ntfs_ib_write() returns an error immediately if pre_write_mst_fixup() validation fails. The caller, ntfs_icx_ib_sync_write(), interprets any error as a write failure requiring rollback. It does not differentiate between I/O errors and validation failures, and calls post_write_mst_fixup() anyway. Since post_write_mst_fixup() assumes that the index_block contents is correct, it doesn't perform the boundary checks, which results in out-of-bounds memory access.
Medium [CVE-2026-64349] fix dwc3_readl and dwc3_writel calls in dwc3_ulpi_setup
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: dwc3: fix dwc3_readl() and dwc3_writel() calls in dwc3_ulpi_setup() The dwc3_ulpi_setup() calls the register read and write calls with dwc3->regs when both these calls take the dwc3 structure directly. Chnage these two calls to fix the following sparse warning, and possibly a nasty bug in the dwc3_ulpi_setup() code: drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c:796:45: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c:796:45: expected struct dwc3 *dwc drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c:796:45: got void [noderef] __iomem *regs drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c:798:40: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c:798:40: expected struct dwc3 *dwc drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c:798:40: got void [noderef] __iomem *regs Incorrect type handling in the `dwc3_readl()` and `dwc3_writel()` functions within `dwc3_ulpi_setup()` can lead to memory corruption. This vulnerability may allow an attacker to cause system instability or potentially execute arbitrary code, depending on the specific memory corruption scenario. Red Hat severity: Moderate. Weakness: CWE-843. 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 as not affected.
Medium [CVE-2026-64346] Fix use-after-free in gadget_match_driver
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: udc: Fix use-after-free in gadget_match_driver The udc structure acts as the management structure for the gadget, but their lifecycles are decoupled. A race condition exists where usb_del_gadget() frees the udc memory (e.g., via mode-switch work) while gadget_match_driver() concurrently accesses the freed udc memory (e.g., via configfs), causing a Use-After-Free (UAF) that triggers a NULL pointer dereference when the freed memory is zeroed: [39430.908615][ T1171] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 [39430.911397][ T1171] pc: __pi_strcmp+0x20/0x140 [39430.911441][ T1171] lr: gadget_match_driver+0x34/0x60... [39430.911890][ T1171] usb_gadget_register_driver_owner+0x50/0xf8 [39430.911910][ T1171] gadget_dev_desc_UDC_store+0xf4/0x140 [39430.931308][ T1171] configfs_write_iter+0xec/0x134 [39430.957058][ T1171] Workqueue: events_freezable __dwc3_set_mode [39430.957287][ T1171] dwc3_gadget_exit+0x34/0x8c [39430.957304][ T1171] __dwc3_set_mode+0xc0/0x664 Fix this by ensuring the udc structure remains allocated until the gadget is released. To achieve this, introduce a new usb_gadget_release() routine to the core. When the gadget is added, usb_add_gadget() stores the gadget's release routine in the udc structure and takes a reference to the udc.
Medium [CVE-2026-64293] Use sizeof(*hdr) instead of sizeof(hdr) in veventq read
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommufd: Use sizeof(*hdr) instead of sizeof(hdr) in veventq read The bound-check in iommufd_veventq_fops_read() for the normal vEVENT path uses sizeof(hdr) where the surrounding code uses sizeof(*hdr): if (!vevent_for_lost_events_header(cur) && sizeof(hdr) + cur->data_len > count - done) { hdr is declared as struct iommufd_vevent_header *, so sizeof(hdr) evaluates to the size of the pointer. Surrounding code uses sizeof(*hdr) consistently: if (done >= count || sizeof(*hdr) > count - done) {... if (copy_to_user(buf + done, hdr, sizeof(*hdr))) {... done += sizeof(*hdr); struct iommufd_vevent_header is currently 8 bytes (two __u32 fields, flags and sequence), so on 64-bit (sizeof(void *) == 8) the two expressions happen to be equal and the check works as intended. On 32-bit (sizeof(void *) == 4) the check under-counts the header by 4 bytes: a vEVENT whose data_len causes 8 + cur->data_len to exceed count - done while 4 + cur->data_len does not will pass the check, then the loop will copy_to_user 8 bytes of header followed by data_len bytes of payload, writing past the user-supplied buffer. It is also a latent bug for any future expansion of struct iommufd_vevent_header beyond sizeof(void *) on 64-bit; the check should not depend on the type happening to match the host pointer width.
Medium [CVE-2026-64437] fix use-after-free of a deferred file_lock on SMB2_CLOSE then SMB2_CANCEL
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ksmbd: fix use-after-free of a deferred file_lock on SMB2_CLOSE then SMB2_CANCEL Commit f580d27e8928 ("ksmbd: fix use-after-free of a deferred file_lock on double SMB2_CANCEL") made smb2_cancel() skip a work whose state is KSMBD_WORK_CANCELLED, so its cancel_fn cannot be fired a second time. But KSMBD_WORK has three states (ACTIVE, CANCELLED, CLOSED), and the same freeing producer path is reached for CLOSED too: SMB2_CLOSE on the locking handle -> set_close_state_blocked_works() sets the deferred work's state to KSMBD_WORK_CLOSED and wakes the smb2_lock() worker. The worker takes the non-ACTIVE early-exit, locks_free_lock()s the file_lock and, because the state is not KSMBD_WORK_CANCELLED, takes the STATUS_RANGE_NOT_LOCKED branch with "goto out2" -- which, like the cancelled branch, skips release_async_work(). The work stays on conn->async_requests with a live cancel_fn = smb2_remove_blocked_lock pointing at the freed file_lock.
Medium [CVE-2026-64362] cancel pending work on remove to fix a use-after-free
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: lg-g15: cancel pending work on remove to fix a use-after-free lg_g15_data is allocated with devm and holds a work item. The report handlers schedule that work straight from device input. lg_g15_event() and lg_g15_v2_event() do it on the backlight cycle key, and lg_g510_leds_event() does it too. The worker dereferences the lg_g15_data back through container_of. The driver had no remove callback and never cancelled the work. So if a report scheduled the work and the keyboard was then unplugged, devres freed lg_g15_data while the work was still pending or running, and the worker touched freed memory. It is reachable as a race on device unplug. Add a remove callback that cancels the work before devres frees the state. g15->work is only initialized for the models that schedule it (G15, G15 v2, G510). The G13 and Z-10 leave it zeroed, so guard the cancel on g15->work.func to avoid cancelling a work that was never set up. The g15 NULL test mirrors the one already in lg_g15_raw_event(). A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's lg-g15 Human Interface Device (HID) driver. This vulnerability, a use-after-free, occurs when a Logitech G15, G15 v2, or G510 keyboard is unplugged while a work item is pending.
Medium [CVE-2026-64373] Fix hotplug-suspend race during reboot
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cpufreq: Fix hotplug-suspend race during reboot During system reboot, cpufreq_suspend() is called via the kernel_restart() -> device_shutdown() path. Unlike the normal system suspend path, the reboot path does not call freeze_processes(), so userspace processes and kernel threads remain active. This allows CPU hotplug operations to run concurrently with cpufreq_suspend(). A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's CPU frequency scaling (cpufreq) subsystem. During a system reboot, a race condition can occur when the system attempts to suspend CPU frequency operations while CPU hotplug operations are still active. This can lead to a null pointer dereference, which may cause the system to crash, resulting in 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-476. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. 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-rt.
Medium [CVE-2026-64351] bound RX frame length in kalmia_rx_fixup
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: usb: kalmia: bound RX frame length in kalmia_rx_fixup() kalmia_rx_fixup() computes usb_packet_length = skb->len - (2 * KALMIA_HEADER_LENGTH) as a u16, guarded only by a pre-loop check that skb->len is at least KALMIA_HEADER_LENGTH, which is 6. A device can deliver a short bulk-IN frame with skb->len in the 6 to 11 range, or leave a short trailing remainder on a later loop iteration. Either case underflows usb_packet_length to about 65530. That bypasses the usb_packet_length < ether_packet_length truncation path. The device-supplied ether_packet_length, a le16 up to 65535 read from header_start[2], then drives a memcmp() and the following skb_trim() and skb_pull() past the end of the rx buffer. The rx buffer is hard_mtu * 10, which is 14000 bytes. That is an out of bounds read. Require both the start and end framing headers to be present before subtracting them, on every loop iteration. This occurs due to an incorrect calculation of the USB packet length when processing short bulk-IN frames, leading to a memory underflow. This flaw could allow an attacker to read sensitive information from outside the intended memory buffer or potentially cause a denial of service.
Medium [CVE-2026-64485] Fix task creation error unwind
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: compress: Fix task creation error unwind snd_compr_task_new() allocates the driver task before validating the returned DMA buffers and reserving file descriptors. When either of those later steps fails, the core frees its task wrapper and DMA-buffer references without calling the driver's task_free() callback. Any driver resources allocated by task_create() are therefore leaked. The dual-fd allocation path also jumps to cleanup without storing the negative get_unused_fd_flags() result in retval. Since retval still contains the successful task_create() return value, TASK_CREATE can incorrectly report success although the task was discarded. Preserve the fd allocation errors and call task_free() when failure occurs after a successful task_create() callback. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) compress module. The `snd_compr_task_new()` function, responsible for creating driver tasks, does not properly handle errors during the validation of Direct Memory Access (DMA) buffers or file descriptor reservation. This oversight can lead to a resource leak, where driver resources allocated during task creation are not freed. Consequently, this could result in system instability or a Denial of Service (DoS) over time due to resource exhaustion.
Medium [CVE-2026-64451] Fix NULL pointer dereference in func_set_flag
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Fix NULL pointer dereference in func_set_flag() func_set_flag() dereferences tr->current_trace_flags before verifying that the current tracer is actually the function tracer. When the active tracer has been switched away from "function" (e.g., to "wakeup_rt"), tr->current_trace_flags can be NULL, leading to a NULL pointer dereference and kernel crash. The call chain that triggers this is: trace_options_write() -> __set_tracer_option() -> trace->set_flag() /* func_set_flag */ In func_set_flag(), the first operation is: if (!!set ==!!(tr->current_trace_flags->val & bit)) This dereferences tr->current_trace_flags unconditionally.
