CVE-2026-98096 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 7.4 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: sr: restore network header before routing and forwarding ipv6_srh_rcv() runs with skb->data at the Segment Routing Header (SRH) while skb_network_header() points at the IPv6 header. When segments_left > 0, ipv6_srh_rcv() previously restored the skb->data position by pushing sizeof(struct ipv6hdr), assuming the SRH immediately followed the fixed IPv6 header. If another extension header (such as a Hop-by-Hop options header) precedes the SRH, skb_network_offset() remained negative. This led to two problems: 1. During ip6_route_input(), fib6_rules_early_flow_dissect() invokes __skb_flow_dissect() which passes the negative skb_network_offset() to flow dissection, breaking BPF and C flow dissector logic. 2. If forwarded via ip6_forward() or redirected via act_mirred, downstream handlers (like sch_fragment() or neighbour output) pass the negative offset as an unsigned length, triggering OOB memcpy or buffer overflows. Fix this by pushing -skb_network_offset(skb) before routing, ensuring skb_network_offset(skb) is 0 for route lookup / flow dissection as well as downstream forwarding. On the loopback path, pull skb_transport_offset(skb) to restore skb->data to the SRH before looping back.
CVE-2026-98075 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 7.0 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: reject BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC reference to the main program fixups.c:jit_subprogs() rewrites BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC loads to contain real function addresses. This function is invoked from bpf_jit_subprogs() only when env->subprog_cnt > 1. Meaning that for any program like below: int main(void *ctx) { void *ptr = main; ... bpf_timer_set_callback(..., ptr); ... } The 'ptr' won't be ever converted to contain an address. In combination with e.g. bpf_timer_set_callback() this would lead to a function call at a bogus address. Instead of complicating the implementation, just assume that no useful program needs main to be a sync or async callback and reject BPF_PSEUDO_FUNC loads for the main subprogram.
CVE-2026-98070 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 8.1 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/rds: acquire RDS_IN_XMIT in rds_tcp_reset_callbacks() rds_tcp_reset_callbacks() quiesces the transmit path by setting the path state to RDS_CONN_RESETTING and then waiting for RDS_IN_XMIT to be sampled clear before swapping the underlying socket and calling rds_send_path_reset(). Sampling the bit clear is not the same as owning it: rds_send_xmit() can re-acquire RDS_IN_XMIT right after the wait_event() returns. Its state recheck after taking the lock is a store-buffering pattern (the resetter writes the state and reads the bit, the sender writes the bit and reads the state) and acquire_in_xmit() is only an acquire operation, so on weakly ordered architectures both sides can miss each other's write and the transmit path then runs concurrently with rds_send_path_reset() rewriting cp_xmit_* state - which is exactly what the comment above rds_send_path_reset() tells its callers to prevent. Take the lock instead, hold it across the socket swap and rds_send_path_reset(), and release it with a wake-up at the end. The lock-ordering constraint documented above the wait still holds: the lock is acquired before lock_sock(), so a sender inside tcp_sendmsg() can never be waited on while we hold the socket lock. Two details of the old code go away with the same change: - t_sock is now read only after the lock is acquired. The old code cached it before waiting; the teardown in rds_conn_shutdown() releases that socket and clears t_sock, so a pointer cached before the wait can be stale by the time the accept path resumes. Reading it under RDS_IN_XMIT is what makes the exclusion complete once the teardown owns the same lock, which the next patch arranges; until then the teardown still only samples the bit, and the two paths remain as exposed to each other as they are today. - The old !osock early path called rds_send_path_reset() with no serialization at all. It now runs under the lock like the normal path. The conditional RDS_CONN_RESETTING transition of the previous patch happens before the socket check either way: a path found without a socket is either still connecting (its reconnect worker blocked on t_conn_path_lock) and legitimately goes RESETTING -> UP on the new socket, or it has been torn down meanwhile and is dropped. The in-function comment describing the old wait-based quiesce is rewritten to describe the lock-based one, and the stale block comment above the function (which still described a return value and an incomplete list of t_sock writers) is refreshed to name all four writers - the connect, accept, teardown and swap paths - and what serializes each of them.
CVE-2026-98069 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 8.1 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/rds: acquire the fastpath locks in rds_conn_shutdown() rds_conn_shutdown() quiesces the transmit and receive-refill paths by waiting for RDS_IN_XMIT and RDS_RECV_REFILL to be sampled clear, and then runs the transport shutdown and rds_conn_path_reset(). Sampling the bits clear is not the same as owning them: the moment after the wait_event() returns, rds_send_xmit() can re-acquire RDS_IN_XMIT (or rds_ib_recv_refill() can re-acquire RDS_RECV_REFILL) and run concurrently with the teardown. The sender does recheck the connection state after taking the lock, but that recheck is a classic store-buffering pattern: teardown writes the state and reads the bit while the sender writes the bit and reads the state. acquire_in_xmit() is only an acquire operation, so on weakly ordered architectures both sides can miss each other's write, and the transmit path then runs while the transport zeroes its rings (e.g. rds_ib_ring_init()) and rds_send_path_reset() rewrites the transmit state under it. Oracle UEK fixed the same class of crashes - a 14-year tail of BUG_ON()s in rds_ib_sub_signaled(), unexpected op-codes and NULL dereferences in rds_ib_send_cqe_handler() during failover testing - by making the teardown path *acquire* the fastpath bit locks instead of testing them ("rds: Make sure transmit path and connection tear-down does not run concurrently"). Ownership of a single word is decided by RMW atomicity, so no cross-variable ordering is needed. Do the same here: take both locks before calling the transport shutdown, hold them across rds_conn_path_reset(), and release them explicitly with a wake-up afterwards. Both are released with clear_bit_unlock(), so that the ring re-initialization done by the transport shutdown and the transmit state rewritten by rds_send_path_reset() are ordered before either bit is seen clear by the next acquire_in_xmit() or acquire_refill(). The fastpath users of these bits - rds_send_xmit() and rds_ib_recv_refill() - are trylock style and back off while teardown owns the locks, so no new lock dependency is introduced for them. rds_tcp_reset_callbacks() is different: since the previous patch it acquires RDS_IN_XMIT as well, and it blocks doing so, so its wait now spans the teardown instead of at most one send batch. That waiter runs from rds_tcp_accept_one() on the single-threaded krdsd workqueue and holds rds_tcp_accept_lock and t_conn_path_lock while it waits, so a duelling SYN accepted while its path is being torn down parks accept processing for the duration of the teardown - for TCP bounded by the (up to 5 s) drain loop in rds_tcp_conn_path_shutdown(). An IB path's drain in rds_ib_conn_path_shutdown() has no round cap, but no blocking waiter either: rds_tcp_reset_callbacks() is the only blocking acquirer of these bits and waits only on its own TCP path, and the fastpaths are trylock-and-back-off on both transports, so a long IB drain lengthens only that path's own quiesce. The window is narrow: the accept-side state check has to pass before the teardown moves the path to RDS_CONN_DISCONNECTING. Because krdsd is a single global workqueue, everything else queued there - accept processing for other connections and network namespaces, and the flush_workqueue(rds_wq) in rds_tcp_listen_stop() during namespace teardown - waits behind the parked accept worker for that time. It cannot deadlock, although the waits do point at each other: the teardown blocks until the bit's holder releases it, and the holder may be that krdsd accept worker. The holder finishes without needing anything the teardown owns: the sync cancels rds_tcp_reset_callbacks() issues target cp_send_w and cp_recv_w on the path's ordered cp_wq, whose only execution slot is occupied by the blocked cp_down_w itself, so they are pending at most and cancel without flushing - a reliance on cp_wq being ordered that is now noted next to those cancels (on ---truncated---
CVE-2026-98068 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 7.0 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/rds: don't let rds_conn_shutdown() consume a concurrent drop rds_conn_shutdown() finishes by moving the path from RDS_CONN_DISCONNECTING to RDS_CONN_DOWN, and also accepts RDS_CONN_ERROR as the starting state of that final transition, so that a FIN processed in softirq context during the teardown does not derail the shutdown into a noisy error path. But consuming that RDS_CONN_ERROR also consumes the shutdown pass that came with it: rds_conn_path_drop() sets RDS_CONN_ERROR and then queues cp_down_w, and a pass that starts on a path already in RDS_CONN_DOWN is a no-op. For the FIN case that is harmless - the socket the FIN arrived on is the very socket the teardown just released. It is not harmless for a dropper that attached something to the path first. rds_tcp_accept_one() is such a dropper. Its path claim in rds_tcp_accept_one_path() transitions RDS_CONN_DOWN -> RDS_CONN_CONNECTING, and a concurrent drop - a FIN on a previous socket in softirq context, an administrative reset - can put the path into RDS_CONN_ERROR between that claim and the state check that follows, which accepts RDS_CONN_ERROR. The accept then installs the freshly accepted socket with rds_tcp_set_callbacks() while the queued teardown - which sampled tc->t_sock before this socket existed - is still running. rds_connect_path_complete() fails its transition to RDS_CONN_UP and drops the path again, queueing the pass that should reap the socket it just installed. If the in-flight shutdown's final transition consumes that drop's RDS_CONN_ERROR, the queued pass finds the path in RDS_CONN_DOWN and does nothing. The installed socket is never torn down: it sits established with its callbacks armed and its rds_tcp_connection on rds_tcp_tc_list, the peer sees a connection that nothing ever reads, and the path is wedged in RDS_CONN_DOWN until some later event drops it again. Reproduced with widened race windows as an ever-growing receive queue on a socket owned by a path stuck in RDS_CONN_DOWN, with the peer's send path wedged behind it. Make the final transition only DISCONNECTING -> DOWN. If it fails because the path is in RDS_CONN_ERROR, a drop raced the teardown: cancel the reconnect timer and clear RDS_RECONNECT_PENDING - the one piece of the skipped tail that must not be left behind - and return, letting the pass the drop queued finish the job: it tears down whatever attached to the path in the meantime, completes the transition to RDS_CONN_DOWN, and re-arms the reconnect from its own tail. The timer quiesce in that branch matters because the racing drop does not always queue that pass: rds_conn_path_drop() returns without queueing when a destroy is pending - exactly the situation during a netns teardown or module unload, when a FIN on the dying socket is processed while rds_conn_path_destroy() flushes cp_down_w. If the flushed pass is the one that takes this return, no later pass exists, and rds_conn_path_destroy() would find cp_conn_w still armed (WARN_ON) and then free a path whose reconnect timer can still fire. With the cancel in the branch, every exit of a shutdown pass leaves the timer quiesced no matter which pass completes the transition. The FIN case keeps making progress, one pass later and still without noisy logging. Any other state keeps today's rds_conn_path_error() handling; no current cp_state writer can leave a DISCONNECTING path in anything but RDS_CONN_ERROR (every other writer is a cmpxchg from a non-DISCONNECTING state), so that branch is defensive. On kernels without the preceding patches the same hazard exists with the sample-based quiesce; the fix applies there equally.
CVE-2026-98066 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 7.0 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: caiaq: Fix potential double-free at error path The fix for caiaq driver's resource management to handle the errors tries to release the resources in a common destructor call, but as a sashiko review for another patch suggested, some of the audio resources such as URBs have been already freed, and this may lead to a double-free. For addressing the double-free, call the common destructor function from each place, and assure that the resource pointers get cleared.
CVE-2026-98030 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 7 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: dsa: bcm_sf2: bound the CFP rule dump by the caller's buffer size bcm_sf2_cfp_rule_get_all() walks the whole cfp.unique bitmap into rule_locs[] without consulting nfc->rule_cnt, which is how many entries the caller had room for. ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL requires no CAP_NET_ADMIN and the ioctl sizes the buffer from the rule_cnt userspace passes in, so once an admin has installed CFP rules any user can ask for fewer slots than there are rules and run off the end of the allocation. A rule_cnt of 0 leaves the buffer pointer NULL and the walk dereferences it.
CVE-2026-98027 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 7 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: bound the policy rule dump by the caller's buffer size mv88e6xxx_get_rxnfc() uses rxnfc->rule_cnt as the write index while dumping the policy IDR, clobbering the input value before it has been looked at. That input is the number of entries the caller had room for. ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL requires no CAP_NET_ADMIN and the ioctl sizes the buffer from the rule_cnt userspace passes in, so once an admin has installed policy rules any user can ask for fewer slots than there are rules and run off the end of the allocation. A rule_cnt of 0 leaves the buffer pointer NULL and the walk dereferences it. Count into a local so the caller's limit survives the walk, and stop with -EMSGSIZE once it is reached.
CVE-2026-98025 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 7.0 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: usb: cx82310_eth: drop URB after 0xffff reboot sentinel to prevent partial_data heap overflow The 0xffff length sentinel detects a router reboot and schedules re-enabling of ethernet mode, but then falls through to the rest of the loop body. The next check is } else if (len > CX82310_MTU) { which is the else of the just-matched if -- it never fires for len == 0xffff. The MTU bound that normally caps the incomplete-packet save path is silently bypassed. With 0xffff > skb->len always true (rx_urb_size is 4096), the incomplete-packet branch saves dev->partial_len = skb->len bytes into dev->partial_data. partial_data is kmalloc(hard_mtu) = kmalloc(CX82310_MTU + 2) = 1516 bytes, but skb->len after the 2-byte header pull can be up to 4094. A device that sends a 4096-byte URB starting with [0xff 0xff] therefore copies 4094 device-provided bytes into a buffer allocated for 1516 bytes, exceeding its requested size by 2578 bytes. The next URB then reads dev->partial_len (4094) back from the same 1516-byte buffer and dev->partial_rem (65535 - 4094 = 61441) from the new URB's ~4KB skb, both well past their allocations, and delivers the spliced result as a 64KB "frame" to the network stack. Bail out of rx_fixup after scheduling the re-enable work; the remainder of a reboot-marker URB is not meaningful packet data. This restores the invariant that partial_len < CX82310_MTU + 2 on the save path, since every other route there has already passed the MTU check.
CVE-2026-98023 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 7.8 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vxlan: reject dynamic fdb entries that reference a nexthop id The commit cited in the Fixes tag allowed VXLAN FDB entries to point to FDB nexthops so that overlay traffic could be load balanced across multiple VTEPs. Such entries can only be configured from user space, cannot be learned and cannot roam. They only make sense with a user space control plane such as E-VPN where data plane learning is disabled. Despite that, the VXLAN driver does not currently prevent such entries from being configured with the "dynamic" flag. The per-nexthop FDB list is only protected by the per-device hash lock, which is not sufficient when two VXLAN devices point to the same FDB nexthop and therefore share the list. Aging runs in softirq context without RTNL, so an entry deleted by one device can race with an addition or deletion from the other, leading to list corruption: list_del corruption. next->prev should be ffff8881069d9548, but was dead000000000122.

As such, the per-nexthop FDB list is only ever mutated under the RTNL lock. Add test cases to make sure that this does not regress in the future.
CVE-2026-98017 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 7.8 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: defer qdisc freeing after failed creation An RTM_NEWQDISC request can make clsact bind a populated shared ingress block during ->init(), publishing an embedded mini_Qdisc to lockless readers. If the same request has an invalid TCA_RATE, estimator setup fails after ->init(); the unwind removes the pointer but synchronously frees its containing qdisc while tc_run() may still hold it. Retire failed qdiscs through the same RCU helper as normal destruction. Inline the synchronous free into the callback now that no direct callers remain.
CVE-2026-98016 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 7.0 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5e: Fix use-after-free race in sample_restore_put() Concurrent teardown of TC sample rules sharing the same restore context may re-read restore->count after dropping restore_lock. At that point another thread may already have completed cleanup and freed the restore object. Use the result of the refcount decrement while holding restore_lock to determine whether cleanup is needed.
CVE-2026-98015 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 7.0 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5: E-Switch: fix use-after-free in mlx5_eswitch_termtbl_put In mlx5_eswitch_termtbl_put(), the zero-ref cleanup check reads tt->ref_count after termtbl_mutex has been released. Two concurrent callers on the same mlx5_termtbl_handle race: one decrements ref_count to zero, removes the hash entry, and calls kfree(tt) while the other has already dropped the mutex and is about to evaluate if (!tt->ref_count), producing a use-after-free. Fix this by capturing the result of the decrement into a stack-local last variable before dropping the mutex. The cleanup decision is now made entirely under termtbl_mutex, and tt is not touched after kfree.
CVE-2026-98014 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 7.0 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5: E-Switch, prevent mc_list repopulation during vport disable In mlx5_esw_vport_disable(), move esw_apply_vport_rx_mode() ahead of esw_vport_change_handle_locked() so vport->allmulti_rule is NULL before the change handler observes it. During FW-fatal recovery the disable runs while dev->state == INTERNAL_ERROR. The promisc query inside esw_update_vport_rx_mode() fails and returns early, leaving vport->allmulti_rule intact, so esw_update_vport_mc_promisc() runs and adds MLX5_ACTION_ADD entries to vport->mc_list whose flow rules are then installed in the FDB by esw_add_mc_addr(). esw_destroy_legacy_table() tears down the FDB with those refs still held, corrupting the sub-tree and leaving dangling flow_rule pointers in vport->mc_list.

CVE-2026-97991 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 7.8 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vdpa_sim_blk: reject out-of-range sector starts vdpasim_blk_check_range() logs an invalid start sector but continues validating the request. The subsequent unsigned capacity subtraction can underflow and let an out-of-range buffer offset reach the data path. The invalid offset is used by three request paths. VIRTIO_BLK_T_OUT copies guest data to blk->buffer + offset through vringh_iov_pull_iotlb(), causing an out-of-bounds write in _copy_from_iter() or memcpy(). VIRTIO_BLK_T_IN copies from blk->buffer + offset to the guest through vringh_iov_push_iotlb(), causing an out-of-bounds read in _copy_to_iter(). VIRTIO_BLK_T_WRITE_ZEROES passes blk->buffer + offset to memset(), causing an out-of-bounds write. Reject starts at or beyond the capacity before the subtraction. Treat the capacity boundary as invalid because the IN and OUT paths round byte counts down to sectors for validation but later copy the original byte counts. A sub-sector request at the capacity boundary would otherwise still access past the end of the buffer. I found this bug myself, though the patch was written with AI assistance.
CVE-2026-97990 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 7.5 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vdpa_sim_net: check TX pull result before RX copy vringh_iov_pull_iotlb() returns a signed byte count. A failed TX pull is currently added to the unsigned byte counter and then passed as a size_t length to receive_filter() and vringh_iov_push_iotlb(). A negative error can therefore become a large length in the RX path. Handle non-positive pull results before every length use. Count the TX error and complete the consumed TX descriptor with zero bytes. I found this bug myself, though the patch was written with AI assistance.
CVE-2026-97986 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 7.0 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio_input: stop callbacks before unregistering input device virtinput_remove() unregisters the input device before resetting the virtio device. virtinput_recv_events() drops vi->lock around input_event(), so clearing vi->ready does not stop a callback that passed the entry check. It can still use vi->idev, requeue buffers and kick the queue. Reset first, as virtinput_freeze() already does. With the preceding core change, reset waits for callbacks before input_unregister_device() can free vi->idev. Recheck vi->ready after taking the lock again: keep draining completed events so an input packet is not truncated, but stop requeueing buffers and kicking the queue. With evdev attached, input_unregister_handle() currently waits for an RCU grace period, which also waits out IRQ callbacks. This masks the lifetime bug on PCI and MMIO, but does not protect sleepable callbacks on other transports.
CVE-2026-97957 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 8.8 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hinic: fix mailbox segment buffer overflow check_mbox_seq_id_and_seg_len() validates that seq_id does not exceed SEQ_ID_MAX_VAL (42) and seg_len does not exceed MBOX_SEG_LEN (48). However, this allows the last segment (seq_id=42) to carry a full 48-byte payload, writing to offset 42*48=2016 for 48 bytes (ending at byte 2064). The receive buffer is only MBOX_MAX_BUF_SZ (2048) bytes, resulting in a 16-byte heap buffer overflow. The hinic3 driver already handles this correctly by defining MBOX_LAST_SEG_MAX_LEN and rejecting the last segment when it exceeds the remaining buffer space. Apply the same fix to the hinic driver.
CVE-2026-97954 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 7.0 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/rds: fix tcp stream corruption with large pages rds_message_map_pages() assigns PAGE_SIZE bytes to every scatterlist entry, even when total_len ends in a partial page. The RDS congestion map is defined as 8192 bytes, so on systems with PAGE_SIZE greater than 8192 the scatterlist maps bytes beyond the end of the congestion map. RDS-TCP transmits the SG contents according to those lengths, so the extra bytes become part of the TCP RDS stream and are interpreted as subsequent RDS message headers, corrupting the stream. Limit the final scatterlist mapping to the number of bytes remaining. This has no effect on systems with a 4K page size and allows RDS-TCP to be used on systems with 16K and larger page sizes. The RDS selftest, which previously hung on 16K pages, now passes.
CVE-2026-97949 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-10-03 7.0 High
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: configfs: unhash the dentry before dropping the item in rmdir configfs_get_config_item() treats a hashed dentry as proof that sd->s_element is a live config_item. configfs_rmdir() breaks that: simple_rmdir() leaves the dentry hashed, the last reference to the item is dropped right after, and the dentry is only unhashed by d_delete() once ->rmdir() has returned. configfs_symlink() resolves its target holding no lock on it, so get_target() can land in that window: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in config_item_get+0x26/0x90 get_target fs/configfs/symlink.c:128 [inline] configfs_symlink+0x4ab/0x1030 fs/configfs/symlink.c:185 Unhash in configfs_remove_dir(), while the item is still guaranteed to be there. A reference obtained just before that stays harmless, as create_link() rechecks CONFIGFS_USET_DROPPING, already set by configfs_detach_prep(). Both configfs_unregister_subsystem() paths d_drop() after detaching, so this only makes rmdir match them.
