CVE-2026-97521	Sep 24, 2026	Linux Kernel: GFS2 Quota Init Duplicate Scan Fix (CVE-2026-97521) In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gfs2: fix quota init duplicate scan gfs2_quota_init() checks for duplicate quota_change IDs while holding qd_lock and the quota hash bucket bitlock. That path used gfs2_qd_search_bucket(), which takes a lockref reference via lockref_get_not_dead(). On PREEMPT_RT this may sleep, which is not allowed under the bucket bitlock, triggering "sleeping function called from invalid context". Use a no-ref bucket lookup in this path, then continue duplicate handling without taking a lockref there. Refactor gfs2_qd_search_bucket() to build on top of the no-ref helper so lookup traversal stays in one place. This patch fixes a bug reported by syzbot.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97520	Sep 24, 2026	Linux Kernel gfs2 Quota Init Iterator Increment Fix In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gfs2: move quota_init qc iterator increment Move qc++ from the loop body into the for-loop increment expression in gfs2_quota_init(). This keeps iterator progression explicit and avoids mixing pointer advance with duplicate-slot handling in the loop body.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97519	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe: Fix null pointer dereference in devcoredump cleanup In xe_devcoredump_snapshot_free(), ss->gt may be NULL when the snapshot was never fully populated (e.g., when cleanup is triggered without a prior capture). Guard the xe_guc_capture_put_matched_nodes() call with IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to prevent a null dereference. In xe_devcoredump_free(), the deferred work is only queued when a coredump is captured, so guard cancel_work_sync() with a check on coredump->captured.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97518	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: cfg80211: reject duplicate wiphy cipher suite entries Duplicate entries in wiphy->cipher_suites do not describe any additional capability, but cfg80211 currently accepts them and leaves individual consumers to deal with them. One such consumer is the WEXT compatibility code, which appends a WEP key length for each WEP cipher entry it sees. Repeated WEP entries can therefore overflow the fixed iw_range::encoding_size array returned by SIOCGIWRANGE. Reject duplicate cipher suite entries in wiphy_register() instead. This keeps the cipher suite invariant in one place and makes malformed wiphy descriptions fail early with -EINVAL, rather than relying on a single cfg80211 user to handle duplicates correctly.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97517	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: nl80211: reject beacons with bad HE operation The HE operation element not only needs to be longer than the fixed part, but also have an appropriate size for the variable part inside of it. Check this.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97516	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtw88: Add NULL check for chip->edcca_th in rtw_fw_adaptivity_result() It was recently reported In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtw88: Add NULL check for chip->edcca_th in rtw_fw_adaptivity_result() It was recently reported that rtw_fw_adaptivity_result() in fw.c dereferences rtwdev->chip->edcca_th without a NULL check. The issue is that devices with the 8821CE chip don't define edcca_th in their chip info. As a result, when rtw_fw_adaptivity_result() tries to dereference it, the kernel triggers an oops. Add a NULL check for edcca_th before dereferencing it in rtw_fw_adaptivity_result() in fw.c. Placing the check at the function entry avoids logging any garbage values. This change does not address the root cause for this behavior, but it prevents the NULL dereference and the resulting oops while a more permanent solution is developed. Tested on a 8822CE chip which defines edcca_th, so this issue is not present on it, but it still uses this driver and I can verify there are no regressions.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97515	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i3c: master: svc: Prevent IRQ storm In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i3c: master: svc: Prevent IRQ storm from false SLVSTART on NPCM845 On NPCM845, when a target on the I3C bus gets stuck holding SDA low, the controller reports a false Master Request (MR) in-band interrupt event. The driver handles this by emitting a STOP condition to restore the bus. However, the hardware quirk SVC_I3C_QUIRK_FALSE_SLVSTART indicates that emitting a STOP condition may spuriously set the SLVSTART interrupt status bit. In the Master Request case, this creates a feedback loop: the STOP triggers a new SLVSTART event, the IRQ handler fires again, the controller still reports an MR type, another STOP is emitted, and the cycle repeats indefinitely, resulting in an IRQ storm that can lock up the CPU. Clear the SLVSTART status bit explicitly after emitting the STOP in the Master Request IBI handler when the SVC_I3C_QUIRK_FALSE_SLVSTART quirk is set. This breaks the feedback loop without affecting normal SLVSTART processing, which is already guarded in the top-level IRQ handler by checking that MSTATUS is in SLVREQ state.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97514	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: chips-media: wave5: Fix Reports from Kernel Lock Validator handle_dynamic_resolution change requires In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: chips-media: wave5: Fix Reports from Kernel Lock Validator handle_dynamic_resolution change requires that the state_lock be acquired based on the lockdep_assert_held. However, the handle_dynamic_resolution_change call in initialize_sequence does not properly obtain the lock before calling. Since the v4l2_ctrl_find and s_ctrl can sleep, they should not be called while a lock is already held. Store off the fbc_buf_count then properly update control once lock has been freed.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97513	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: chips-media: wave5: Release m2m_ctx after Instance Removed In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: chips-media: wave5: Release m2m_ctx after Instance Removed from List Possible use after free if IRQ thread manages to obtain spinlock between m2m_ctx release and wave5_release function removing stream instance from list of active instances. The IRQ thread looks for the m2m_ctx which is freed so null pointer dereference occurs.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97512	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: spi-qcom-qspi: Fix incomplete error handling in runtime PM The runtime PM functions had incomplete error handling In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spi: spi-qcom-qspi: Fix incomplete error handling in runtime PM The runtime PM functions had incomplete error handling that could leave the system in an inconsistent state. If any operation failed midway through suspend or resume, some resources would be left in the wrong state while others were already changed, leading to potential clock/power imbalances. Reorder the suspend/resume sequences to avoid brownout risk by ensuring the performance state is set appropriately before clocks are enabled and clocks are disabled before dropping the performance state. Fix by adding proper error checking for all operations and using goto-based cleanup to ensure all successfully acquired resources are properly released on any error.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97511	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: avoid out-of-bounds access in monitor In NAN, we don't know on what band the frame will be sent. Therefore we set info->band to NUM_NL80211_BANDS. However, this leads to out-of-bound access in ieee80211_add_tx_radiotap_header when we try to access the sbands array. Fix it by not accessing the array if the band is NUM_NL80211_BANDS. This means that we will not report rate info for legacy rate in NAN. But nobody really cares about it.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97510	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thunderbolt: Release request if tb_cfg_request() fails in __tb_xdomain_response() If tb_cfg_request() fails setting up the request (for example the control channel is shut down already) it returns an error without calling the callback. To avoid leaking that memory, call tb_cfg_request_put() if tb_cfg_request() fails.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97509	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thunderbolt: Keep XDomain reference during the lifetime of a service This is needed In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thunderbolt: Keep XDomain reference during the lifetime of a service This is needed because we release the service ID in tb_service_release() and the ID array is owned by the parent XDomain.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97508	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thunderbolt: Set tb->root_switch to NULL when domain is stopped Similarly what we do with the firmware connection manager. This makes tb_xdp_handle_request() return error to the remote host. However, we need to make sure we keep the uuid alive so that we can reply until the whole domain is released.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97507	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: dm1105: fix missing error check for dma_alloc_coherent The return value of dm1105_dma_map() In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: dm1105: fix missing error check for dma_alloc_coherent The return value of dm1105_dma_map(), which handles DMA memory allocation, is ignored in dm1105_hw_init(). If dma_alloc_coherent() fails, the driver will proceed using a NULL pointer for DMA transfers, leading to a kernel oops or invalid hardware access. Fix this by checking the return value and propagating -ENOMEM on failure.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97506	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: ixp4xx - fix buffer chain unwind on allocation failure chainup_buffers() builds a linked list of buffer descriptors for a scatterlist. If dma_pool_alloc() fails while constructing the list, the current code sets buf to NULL and later dereferences it unconditionally at the end of the function: buf->next = NULL; buf->phys_next = 0; This can lead to a null-pointer dereference on allocation failure. If the failure happens after part of the descriptor chain has already been allocated and DMA-mapped, the partially constructed chain also needs to be released. Fix this by terminating the partially constructed chain on allocation failure and letting the callers unwind it via their existing cleanup paths. Also fix ablk_perform() to preserve the hook pointers before checking for failure, so partially built chains can be freed correctly.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97505	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI/sysfs: Add CAP_SYS_ADMIN check to __resource_resize_store() Currently, the __resource_resize_store() In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI/sysfs: Add CAP_SYS_ADMIN check to __resource_resize_store() Currently, the __resource_resize_store() allows writing to the resourceN_resize sysfs attribute to change a BAR's size without checking for capabilities, currently relying only on the file access check. Resizing a BAR modifies PCI device configuration and can disrupt active drivers. After the upcoming conversion to static attributes, it will also trigger resource file updates via sysfs_update_groups(). Add a CAP_SYS_ADMIN check to prevent unprivileged users from performing BAR resize operations.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97504	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: watchdog: lenovo_se10_wdt: Fix use-after-free and resource leak risk Review by sashiko.dev highlighted potential use after free and resource leak instances. Set se10_pdev to null to prevent use after free Remove DMI call back and instead directly call se10_create_platform_device. Handle error cases appropriately	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97503	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: genirq/proc: Size interrupt directory names for 10-digit interrupt numbers /proc/irq/<n>/ directory names are built in `char name[10]` buffers with `sprintf(name, "%u", irq)`. Ten-digit IRQ numbers already need 11 bytes including the trailing NUL, and current sparse-IRQ configurations allow interrupt numbers in that range. Size the temporary name buffer for the current decimal form and switch to bounded formatting when creating or removing the proc entry.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97502	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mmc: davinci: avoid NULL deref of host->data in IRQ handler mmc_davinci_irq() returns early only when both host->cmd and host->data are NULL: if (host->cmd == NULL && host->data == NULL) { ... return IRQ_NONE; } So we may legitimately reach the rest of the handler with host->data == NULL (and therefore data == NULL). The DATDNE branch already guards against this with an explicit "if (data != NULL)" check, but the subsequent TOUTRD ("read data timeout") and CRCWR/CRCRD ("data CRC error") branches dereference data unconditionally: if (qstatus & MMCST0_TOUTRD) { data->error = -ETIMEDOUT; <-- NULL deref ... davinci_abort_data(host, data); } if (qstatus & (MMCST0_CRCWR | MMCST0_CRCRD)) { data->error = -EILSEQ; <-- NULL deref ... } If either bit is set in qstatus while host->data is NULL, the kernel will crash inside the IRQ handler. smatch flags this: drivers/mmc/host/davinci_mmc.c:933 mmc_davinci_irq() error: we previously assumed 'data' could be null (see line 914) Gate both branches on a non-NULL data, matching the existing pattern used by the DATDNE branch. No functional change for callers where data is non-NULL, which is the only case in which these branches did meaningful work before this change.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97501	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinctrl: mediatek: paris: bypass pinctrl GPIO layer in set GPIO direction pinctrl_gpio_direction_input() / pinctrl_gpio_direction_output() take the pinctrl mutex. This causes a gpiochip operations to need to sleep. Worse yet, the .can_sleep field in the gpiochip is not set. This causes the shared GPIO proxy to trip over, as it uses gpiod_cansleep() to check whether it can use a spinlock or needs a mutex. In this case, it ends up taking a spinlock, then calls pinctrl_gpio_direction_output(), which takes a mutex. This causes a huge warning. While this class of Mediatek hardware does not have separate clear/set registers, the pinctrl context has a spinlock that is taken whenever a register read-modify-write is done. Also, once the GPIO function is selected / muxed in, further GPIO operations do not involve pinctrl operations or state. The GPIO direction and level values do not require toggling the pinmux or any other pin config options. Switch to directly calling mtk_pinmux_gpio_set_direction() in the GPIO set direction callbacks to avoid taking the pinctrl mutex. Drop the .gpio_set_direction field in mtk_pmxops to signal we are no longer using the pinctrl GPIO layer for setting the direction.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97500	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: rtw89: phy: check length before parsing PHY status IE Hardware might report PHY status IE with unexpected length, and parser might access out of range. Check the length ahead.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97499	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: coresight: perf: Retrieve path and source In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: coresight: perf: Retrieve path and source from event data ETM perf callbacks currently use the per-CPU csdev_src pointer, which can race with updates during device registration and unregistration. The AUX setup already builds and stores the path in the event data. Use this path to retrieve the source instead of csdev_src to avoid the race. Export coresight_get_source() and add etm_event_get_ctxt_path() to retrieve the context's path and its source with READ_ONCE() / WRITE_ONCE() accessors. Give the comments to explain why this approach is safe when pause or resume callbacks preempt the disable callback (e.g. via NMI).	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97498	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/userq: pin mqd and fw object bo to avoid eviction mqd and fw objects are queue core objects In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/userq: pin mqd and fw object bo to avoid eviction mqd and fw objects are queue core objects which should remain valid and never be unmapped and evicted for user queues to work properly. During eviction if these buffers are evicted the hw continue to use the invalid addresses and caused page faults and system hung.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97497	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: Check bounds for allocate_sdma_queue restore_sdma_id allocate_sdma_queue has an option where the sdma queue id In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: Check bounds for allocate_sdma_queue restore_sdma_id allocate_sdma_queue has an option where the sdma queue id can be specified (used by CRIU). We weren't bounds-checking that value. Confirm it's less than the maximum number of queues.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97496	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: Fix OOB memory exposure in get_wave_state() The get_wave_state() function for v9 trusts cp_hqd_cntl_stack_size and cp_hqd_cntl_stack_offset values read directly from the MQD, which are written by GPU microcode and fully attacker-controlled on the CRIU-restore path ( In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: Fix OOB memory exposure in get_wave_state() The get_wave_state() function for v9 trusts cp_hqd_cntl_stack_size and cp_hqd_cntl_stack_offset values read directly from the MQD, which are written by GPU microcode and fully attacker-controlled on the CRIU-restore path (via AMDKFD_IOC_RESTORE_PROCESS with H3). this leads to an unbounded copy_to_user() that can leak adjacent GTT/kernel memory. If offset > size, integer underflow produces a ~4 GiB read length, if size is set to 1 MiB against a 4 KiB allocation, we leak 1 MiB of adjacent kernel memory (other queues' MQDs, ring buffers, KASLR pointers). Fix by clamping both cp_hqd_cntl_stack_size to the actual allocated buffer size (q->ctl_stack_size) and cp_hqd_cntl_stack_offset to the clamped size before performing arithmetic and copy_to_user(). This ensures we never read beyond the allocated kernel BO regardless of attacker-supplied MQD field values.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97495	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: Check bounds on allocate_doorbell allocated_doorbell has an option to set the doorbell id to a specific value (used by CRIU). This value was not bounds checked. Check to confirm it's less than KFD_MAX_NUM_OF_QUEUES_PER_PROCESS.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97494	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: validate and share PSP fw_pri_buf copies In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: validate and share PSP fw_pri_buf copies via psp_copy_fw Change psp_copy_fw from void to int: return -ENODEV when drm_dev_enter fails, and -EINVAL when the image size is zero or larger than the 1 MiB PSP private buffer. Replace open-coded memset/memcpy into fw_pri_buf with psp_copy_fw.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97493	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: Bound GPIO I2C table entry count In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: Bound GPIO I2C table entry count from VBIOS Reject undersized tables and cap the derived entry count to AMDGPU_MAX_I2C_BUS so we do not overrun adev->i2c_bus[] or walk an absurd number of entries on corrupt size fields.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97492	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: don't call ieee80211_handle_reconfig_failure when not needed In case reconfiguration of NAN fails, we call ieee80211_handle_reconfig_failure In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: don't call ieee80211_handle_reconfig_failure when not needed In case reconfiguration of NAN fails, we call ieee80211_handle_reconfig_failure, that marks all interfaces as not in the driver. Then, at the error path of the reconfig, cfg80211_shutdown_all_interfaces is called to destroy all the interfaces. If we have any other interface but the NAN one, for example a BSS station, then when its state (links, stations) will be removed, we won't tell the driver about this, because we will think that the interfaces are not in the driver, and then drivers might remain with dangling pointers to objects like stations and links (at least for iwlwifi this is the case). ieee80211_handle_reconfig_failure is meant to be called after we cleaned up the state in the driver, there is no reason to call it for NAN reconfiguration failure. Fix the code to just warn in such a case, as we do in other error paths in reconfig where it is too complicated to rewind.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97491	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/rds: Don't sleep inside rds_ib_conn_path_shutdown New rds rdma self tests exposed a hang when tearing down the ib network configs. This is caused by the shutdown worker thread sleeping on the wait_event call, which blocks other work items in the queue. Fix this by changing wait_event to wait_event timeout, and looping until the wait check succeeds.	Linux Kernel

CVE-2026-97484	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usbip: vhci_hcd: fix NULL deref in status_show_vhci platform_get_drvdata() In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usbip: vhci_hcd: fix NULL deref in status_show_vhci platform_get_drvdata() can return NULL if a VHCI host controller's probe failed (e.g. due to USB bus number exhaustion). status_show_vhci() checked for a NULL pdev but not for a NULL hcd returned by platform_get_drvdata(). Passing NULL to hcd_to_vhci_hcd() does not return NULL - it returns a pointer offset of 0x260, causing a NULL pointer dereference when that value is subsequently dereferenced. Add a NULL check on hcd before calling hcd_to_vhci_hcd(). Move status_show_not_ready() above status_show_vhci() to make it callable from the new error path without a forward declaration.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97483	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: core: hcd: fix possible deadlock in rh control transfers > In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: core: hcd: fix possible deadlock in rh control transfers >From within the SCSI error handler memory allocations must not trigger IO. Handling errors in UAS and the storage driver may involve resetting a device. The thread doing the reset itself relies on VM magic. However, that is insufficient, as resetting a device involves resuming it. Resumption as well as resetting involves conrol transfers to the parent of the device to be reset. That may be a root hub. Hence usbcore must heed the flags passed to usb_submit_urb() processing control transfers to root hubs. The problem exist since the storage driver has been merged.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97482	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: goku_udc: avoid NULL deref of dev->driver in INT_USBRESET log goku_irq() handles a number of bus events under a single ep0 path. It already guards the gadget driver suspend/resume callbacks against a NULL ->driver: if (dev->gadget.speed != USB_SPEED_UNKNOWN && dev->driver && dev->driver->resume) { spin_unlock(&dev->lock); dev->driver->resume(&dev->gadget); ... } but the very next branch unconditionally dereferences dev->driver when an INT_USBRESET arrives: if (stat & INT_USBRESET) { ACK(INT_USBRESET); INFO(dev, "USB reset done, gadget %s\n", dev->driver->driver.name); } If the controller raises INT_USBRESET before any gadget driver has been bound (or after one has been unbound), dev->driver is NULL and the printk dereferences NULL. smatch flags the inconsistency: drivers/usb/gadget/udc/goku_udc.c:1618 goku_irq() error: we previously assumed 'dev->driver' could be null (see line 1607) Fall back to a placeholder when the gadget driver is not bound. No functional change while a gadget driver is bound.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97481	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: serial: 8250: fix possible ISR soft lockup There are rare cases in which the host gets stuck in the ISR In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: serial: 8250: fix possible ISR soft lockup There are rare cases in which the host gets stuck in the ISR because it is flooded with messages during the startup phase. The reason for the soft lockup in the ISR is the missing FIFO error IRQ (FIFOE) handling. Not handling it and reporting IRQ_HANDLED triggers the IRQ immediately again. Fix this by adding a check for the FIFOE status and clearing the FIFO if no data is ready (DR). This behavior was observed on an AM62L device which uses the OMAP 8250 driver. Fix it for all 8250 drivers, since the OMAP driver's special IRQ setup handling may trigger this behavior more frequently, but it is not ensured that other 8250 drivers aren't affected.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97480	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tty: serial: 8250: protect against NULL uart->port.dev in register serial8250_register_8250_port() conditionally copies uart->port.dev In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tty: serial: 8250: protect against NULL uart->port.dev in register serial8250_register_8250_port() conditionally copies uart->port.dev from up->port.dev only when up->port.dev is non-NULL: if (up->port.dev) { uart->port.dev = up->port.dev; ... } So if both the existing uart slot and up have a NULL ->dev, uart->port.dev remains NULL. The very next ACPI companion check then dereferences it unconditionally: if (!has_acpi_companion(uart->port.dev)) { has_acpi_companion() reads dev->fwnode without a NULL guard (include/linux/acpi.h), so this NULL-derefs the kernel for the remaining no-dev case rather than just skipping the mctrl_gpio_init() initialisation as intended. smatch flags the inconsistency: drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:767 serial8250_register_8250_port() error: 'uart->port.dev' could be null (see line 719) Guard the call with a NULL check so register continues to work for callers that legitimately have no parent device (legacy non-OF/non-ACPI registrations). No functional change for callers that pass a non-NULL ->dev.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97479	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: driver core: Avoid warning when removing a device while its supplier is unbinding During driver removal, the following warning In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: driver core: Avoid warning when removing a device while its supplier is unbinding During driver removal, the following warning can appear: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 139 at drivers/base/core.c:1497 __device_links_no_driver+0xcc/0xfc ...

The topology in terms of consumers/suppliers used was the following (consumer ---> supplier): i2c -----------> OIC ----> PCI device | ^ | | +---> pinctrl ---+ When the PCI device is removed, the OIC (interrupt controller) has to be removed. In order to remove the OIC, pinctrl and i2c need to be removed and to remove pinctrl, i2c need to be removed. The removal order is: 1) i2c 2) pinctrl 3) OIC 4) PCI device In details, the removal sequence is the following (with 0000:01:00.0 the PCI device): driver_detach: call device_release_driver_internal(0000:01:00.0)... device_links_busy(0000:01:00.0): links->status = DL_DEV_UNBINDING device_links_unbind_consumers(0000:01:00.0): 0000:01:00.0--oic link->status = DL_STATE_SUPPLIER_UNBIND call device_release_driver_internal(oic)... device_links_busy(oic): links->status = DL_DEV_UNBINDING device_links_unbind_consumers(oic): oic--pinctrl link->status = DL_STATE_SUPPLIER_UNBIND call device_release_driver_internal(pinctrl)... device_links_busy(pinctrl): links->status = DL_DEV_UNBINDING device_links_unbind_consumers(pinctrl): pinctrl--i2c link->status = DL_STATE_SUPPLIER_UNBIND call device_release_driver_internal(i2c)... device_links_busy(i2c): links->status = DL_DEV_UNBINDING __device_links_no_driver(i2c)... pinctrl--i2c link->status is DL_STATE_SUPPLIER_UNBIND oic--i2c link->status is DL_STATE_ACTIVE oic--i2c link->supplier->links.status is DL_DEV_UNBINDING The warning is triggered by the i2c removal because the OIC (supplier) links status is not DL_DEV_DRIVER_BOUND. Its links status is indeed set to DL_DEV_UNBINDING. It is perfectly legit to have the links status set to DL_DEV_UNBINDING in that case. Indeed we had started to unbind the OIC which triggered the consumer unbinding and didn't finish yet when the i2c is unbound. Avoid the warning when the supplier links status is set to DL_DEV_UNBINDING and thus support this removal sequence without any warnings.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97478	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virt: acrn: Fix irqfd use-after-free during eventfd shutdown acrn_irqfd_deassign() and the eventfd EPOLLHUP wakeup In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virt: acrn: Fix irqfd use-after-free during eventfd shutdown acrn_irqfd_deassign() and the eventfd EPOLLHUP wakeup can race and free the same struct hsm_irqfd: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- eventfd_release() wake_up_poll(EPOLLHUP) hsm_irqfd_wakeup() queue_work(&irqfd->shutdown) acrn_irqfd_deassign() hsm_irqfd_shutdown() list_del_init() eventfd_ctx_remove_wait_queue() eventfd_ctx_put() kfree(irqfd) hsm_irqfd_shutdown_work() container_of(work, ..., shutdown) irqfd->vm <-- use-after-free The deassign path freed the irqfd while a shutdown work item was already queued by EPOLLHUP (or vice versa), so the work item could resurrect a dangling pointer through container_of(). Switch to the lifetime model used by KVM irqfds: - Deassign/deinit only deactivate the irqfd: remove it from vm->irqfds under irqfds_lock and queue the cleanup work. - hsm_irqfd_shutdown_work() becomes the sole owner that unhooks the eventfd waitqueue entry, drops the eventfd reference and frees the irqfd. - A new HSM_IRQFD_FLAG_SHUTDOWN bit guarded by test_and_set_bit() ensures the cleanup work is queued at most once, no matter how many of {EPOLLHUP, deassign, deinit} fire concurrently. This is safe to call from the waitqueue callback, which runs with wqh->lock held and IRQs disabled and therefore cannot take irqfds_lock. - acrn_irqfd_deassign() flushes vm->irqfd_wq before returning so the eventfd is fully detached on return. acrn_irqfd_deinit() deactivates every irqfd, flushes the workqueue and only then destroys it, so no path can queue_work() onto a torn-down workqueue. - acrn_irqfd_assign() now installs the eventfd waitqueue entry and publishes the irqfd to vm->irqfds under irqfds_lock, so the irqfd is never visible to deassign/deinit before its waitqueue entry is in place, and any EPOLLHUP that fires in the assign window queues cleanup work that blocks on irqfds_lock until publication is done.

CVE-2026-97477	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/counter: Fix num_counters leak on bind_qp failure in alloc_and_bind() When __rdma_counter_bind_qp() fails in alloc_and_bind(), the error path jumps to err_mode In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/counter: Fix num_counters leak on bind_qp failure in alloc_and_bind() When __rdma_counter_bind_qp() fails in alloc_and_bind(), the error path jumps to err_mode which frees the counter without decrementing port_counter->num_counters. The only place that decrements is rdma_counter_free(), which is unreachable since the counter was never successfully bound. This leak accumulates across repeated failures, permanently preventing the port from switching to AUTO mode (-EBUSY in __counter_set_mode()) and blocking the MANUALNONE auto-revert in rdma_counter_free(). When the mode was NONE before the call, the MANUAL mode set by __counter_set_mode() also leaks since the revert logic is never reached. Add an err_bind label between the num_counters increment and the existing err_mode label. It decrements num_counters and mirrors the MANUALNONE revert from rdma_counter_free(), ensuring the port state is fully restored on bind failure.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97476	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rds: filter RDS_INFO_* getsockopt by caller's netns The RDS_INFO_* family of getsockopt(2) options reads several file-scope global lists In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rds: filter RDS_INFO_* getsockopt by caller's netns The RDS_INFO_* family of getsockopt(2) options reads several file-scope global lists that are not per-netns: rds_sock_info / rds6_sock_info, rds_sock_inc_info / rds6_sock_inc_info -> rds_sock_list rds_tcp_tc_info / rds6_tcp_tc_info -> rds_tcp_tc_list rds_conn_info / rds6_conn_info, rds_conn_message_info_cmn (for the *_SEND_MESSAGES and *_RETRANS_MESSAGES variants), rds_for_each_conn_info (for RDS_INFO_IB_CONNECTIONS) -> rds_conn_hash[] The handlers do not filter by the caller's network namespace. rds_info_getsockopt() has no netns or capable() check, and rds_create() has no capable() check, so AF_RDS is reachable from an unprivileged user namespace. As a result, an unprivileged caller in a fresh user_ns plus netns can read the bound address and sock inode of every RDS socket on the host, the peer address of incoming messages on every RDS socket on the host, the peer address and TCP sequence numbers of every rds-tcp connection on the host, and the peer address and RDS sequence numbers of every RDS connection on the host. The rds-tcp transport is reachable from a non-initial netns (see rds_set_transport()), so a one-shot init_net gate at rds_info_getsockopt() would deny legitimate per-netns visibility to rds-tcp callers. Instead, filter at each handler by comparing the netns of the caller's socket to the netns of the list entry, or to rds_conn_net(conn) for connection paths. Only copy entries whose netns matches the caller. Counters (RDS_INFO_COUNTERS) are aggregate statistics and remain global. Reproducer (KASAN VM, rds and rds_tcp loaded): an AF_RDS socket binds 127.0.0.1:4242 in init_net as root. A child process enters a fresh user_ns plus netns and opens AF_RDS there, then calls getsockopt(SOL_RDS, RDS_INFO_SOCKETS). Before this change, the child sees the init_net socket. After this change, the child sees zero entries. Drop the rds_sock_count, rds_tcp_tc_count, and rds6_tcp_tc_count globals. v2 used them for the size precheck and lens->nr; v3 replaced the precheck with a per-ns count from a first pass over the list, so the globals have no remaining readers. The matching increments and decrements in rds_create()/rds_destroy_sock() and rds_tcp_set_callbacks()/rds_tcp_restore_callbacks() go away with them. Reported by the kernel test robot under clang W=1.

CVE-2026-97475	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thermal/drivers/tegra/soctherma: Switch to devm cooling device registration Use devm_thermal_of_cooling_device_register() to simplify resource management and avoid manual cleanup in error paths. As a side effect this change has the benefit of solving an existing issue. Before, the function tegra_soctherm_remove() only called debugfs_remove_recursive() and never called thermal_cooling_device_unregister() for any of the cooling devices registered here. After the driver removal, the thermal framework's cdev list would still hold references to thermal_cooling_device objects whose devdata pointer (ts) pointed to memory already freed by the platform device's devm cleanup. With this change, the cooling device is unregistered when the driver is removed, thus fixing the issue above.	Linux Kernel
CVE-2026-97474	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: mld: purge async notifications upon nic error This fixes a kernel panic in reconfig failure: 1. we have a BSS connection 2. we have a NAN connection 3. FW error occurs 4. reconfig restores the BSS connection 5. however, restoring the NAN connection fails due to a FW error. 6. erroneously, ieee80211_handle_reconfig_failure is called and marks all interfaces as not-in-driver (will be fixed in a different patch). 7. mac80211 frees the links of the BSS connection but doesn't tell the driver about that, as it thinks that this vif is not in the driver. 8. in ieee80211_stop_device, *ALL* wiphy works are getting flushed (erroneously?) 9. Therefore, async_handlers_wk is being executed, processing the statistics notification that was received after we restored the BSS connection. 10. the notification handler dereferences fw_id_to_bss_conf[id], which is now a dangling pointer, as mac80211 already freed this link in (7). 11. On the first access to one of the links fields, we panic. While this can and should be fixed by removing the call to ieee80211_handle_reconfig_failure in (6), it is also not a good idea to carry and maybe handle notifications from a dead FW. We do purge the notifications when we stop the FW, but in reconfig failure we stop the FW too late, after the notifications are processed. In addition, async_handlers_wk can always be scheduled before the reconfig work. Purge the notifications immediately when transport notifies about a nic error.	Linux Kernel

CVE-2026-97472	Sep 24, 2026	In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: addrconf: fix temp address generation after prefix deprecation When a router temporarily deprecates an IPv6 prefix (either by sending a Router Advertisement with Preferred Lifetime = 0 or by letting the lifetime expire) and later restores it, the kernel permanently loses its ability to generate temporary privacy addresses (RFC 8981) for In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: addrconf: fix temp address generation after prefix deprecation When a router temporarily deprecates an IPv6 prefix (either by sending a Router Advertisement with Preferred Lifetime = 0 or by letting the lifetime expire) and later restores it, the kernel permanently loses its ability to generate temporary privacy addresses (RFC 8981) for that prefix. This happens because the address worker attempts to generate a replacement temporary address when the current one nears expiration. As the base prefix is deprecated already, the generation fails after marking the temporary address as already having spawned a replacement (ifp->regen_count++). When the router eventually restores the prefix, the temporary address becomes active again. However, once it naturally expires, the address worker sees this temporary address already tried to generate one and skips the regeneration. Fix the issue by resetting the regen_count check of the latest temp address generated for the prefix updated by the incoming RA.	Linux Kernel
