Recent Linux Kernel Security Vulnerabilities

Linux Kernel AGP AMD64 Driver NULL Deref due to Faulty Error Propagation
CVE-2026-53325 - June 29, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: agp/amd64: Fix broken error propagation in agp_amd64_probe() A NULL pointer dereference was observed in the AMD64 AGP driver when running in a virtualized environment (e.g. qemu/kvm) without a physical AMD northbridge. The crash occurs in amd64_fetch_size() when attempting to dereference the pointer returned by node_to_amd_nb(0). The root cause of this crash is broken error propagation in agp_amd64_probe(): When no AMD northbridges are found, cache_nbs() correctly returns -ENODEV. However, the probe function erroneously checks the return value against exactly -1, rather than < 0. As a result, the hardware absence error is masked, allowing the driver to improperly proceed with initialization. It eventually calls agp_add_bridge(), which invokes amd64_fetch_size(). Since the hardware does not exist, node_to_amd_nb(0) returns NULL, leading to a General Protection Fault (GPF) when accessing its ->misc member. Fix the issue by correcting the error check in agp_amd64_probe() to abort properly when cache_nbs() returns any negative error code. This prevents the driver from erroneously proceeding without hardware, thereby avoiding the subsequent NULL pointer dereference at its source.

Linux Kernel: Use PCI BDF for DebugFS Naming to Fix Null Deref & Collisions
CVE-2026-53324 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: mana: Use pci_name() for debugfs directory naming Use pci_name(pdev) for the per-device debugfs directory instead of hardcoded "0" for PFs and pci_slot_name(pdev->slot) for VFs. The previous approach had two issues: 1. pci_slot_name() dereferences pdev->slot, which can be NULL for VFs in environments like generic VFIO passthrough or nested KVM, causing a NULL pointer dereference. 2. Multiple PFs would all use "0", and VFs across different PCI domains or buses could share the same slot name, leading to -EEXIST errors from debugfs_create_dir(). pci_name(pdev) returns the unique BDF address, is always valid, and is unique across the system.

Linux Kernel DSA Ethtool Deadlock via Redundant netdev_lock_ops()
CVE-2026-53323 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: dsa: remove redundant netdev_lock_ops() from conduit ethtool ops DSA replaces the conduit (master) device's ethtool_ops with its own wrappers that aggregate stats from both the conduit and DSA switch ports. Taking the lock again inside the DSA wrappers causes a deadlock. Stumbled upon this when booting qemu with fbnic and CONFIG_NET_DSA_LOOP=y (which looks like some kind of testing device that auto-populates the ports of eth0). `ethtool -i` is enough to deadlock. This means we have basically zero coverage for DSA stuff with real ops locked devs. Remove the redundant netdev_lock_ops()/netdev_unlock_ops() calls from the DSA conduit ethtool wrappers.

Linux Kernel VFIO PCI: Clean DMABUF before Function Disable
CVE-2026-53322 8.8 - High - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vfio/pci: Clean up DMABUFs before disabling function On device shutdown, make vfio_pci_core_close_device() call vfio_pci_dma_buf_cleanup() before the function is disabled via vfio_pci_core_disable(). This ensures that all access via DMABUFs is revoked before the function's BARs become inaccessible. This fixes an issue where, if the function is disabled first, a tiny window exists in which the function's MSE is cleared and yet BARs could still be accessed via the DMABUF. The resources would also be freed and up for grabs by a different driver.

Linux Kernel: io_uring/napi busy poll capped at 10ms
CVE-2026-53321 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring/napi: cap busy_poll_to 10 msec Currently there's no cap on the maximum amount of time that napi is allowed to poll if no events are found, which can lead to kernel complaints on a task being stuck as there's no conditional rescheduling done within that loop. Just cap it to 10 msec in total, that's already way above any kind of sane value that will reap any benefits, yet low enough that it's nowhere near being able to trigger preemption complaints.

Linux kernel nilfs2 ioctl zero bd_oblocknr abuse
CVE-2026-53320 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nilfs2: reject zero bd_oblocknr in nilfs_ioctl_mark_blocks_dirty() nilfs_ioctl_mark_blocks_dirty() uses bd_oblocknr to detect dead blocks by comparing it with the current block number bd_blocknr. If they differ, the block is considered dead and skipped. However, bd_oblocknr should never be 0 since block 0 typically stores the primary superblock and is never a valid GC target block. A corrupted ioctl request with bd_oblocknr set to 0 causes the comparison to incorrectly match when the lookup returns -ENOENT and sets bd_blocknr to 0, bypassing the dead block check and calling nilfs_bmap_mark() on a non-existent block. This causes nilfs_btree_do_lookup() to return -ENOENT, triggering the WARN_ON(ret == -ENOENT). Fix this by rejecting ioctl requests with bd_oblocknr set to 0 at the beginning of each iteration.

Linux Kernel CVE-2026-53319: WARN_ON_ONCE fix in wbt_init_enable_default
CVE-2026-53319 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: blk-wbt: remove WARN_ON_ONCE from wbt_init_enable_default() wbt_init_enable_default() uses WARN_ON_ONCE to check for failures from wbt_alloc() and wbt_init(). However, both are expected failure paths: - wbt_alloc() can return NULL under memory pressure (-ENOMEM) - wbt_init() can fail with -EBUSY if wbt is already registered syzbot triggers this by injecting memory allocation failures during MTD partition creation via ioctl(BLKPG), causing a spurious warning. wbt_init_enable_default() is a best-effort initialization called from blk_register_queue() with a void return type. Failure simply means the disk operates without writeback throttling, which is harmless. Replace WARN_ON_ONCE with plain if-checks, consistent with how wbt_set_lat() in the same file already handles these failures. Add a pr_warn() for the wbt_init() failure to retain diagnostic information without triggering a full stack trace.

NULL Pointer Dereference in mt7925_tx_check_aggr() (mt76 WiFi Driver)
CVE-2026-53318 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7925: prevent NULL pointer dereference in mt7925_tx_check_aggr() Move the NULL check for 'sta' before dereferencing it to prevent a possible crash.

Linux Kernel: mt76 mt7921 AID Overflow NIM Firmware Crash
CVE-2026-53317 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mt76: mt7921: Place upper limit on station AID Any station configured with an AID over 20 causes a firmware crash. This situation occurred in our testing using an AP interface on 7922 hardware, with a modified hostapd, sourced from Mediatek's OpenWRT feeds. In stock hostapd, station AIDs begin counting at 1, and this configuration is prevented with an upper limit on associated stations. However, the modified hostapd began allocation at 65, which caused the firmware to crash. This fix does not allow these AIDs to work, but will prevent the firmware crash. This crash was only seen on IFTYPE_AP interfaces, and the fix does not appear to have an effect on IFTYPE_STATION behavior.

Linux Kernel DRM AMD RAS NULL Deref in ras_core_ras_interrupt_detected()
CVE-2026-53316 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/ras: Fix NULL deref in ras_core_ras_interrupt_detected() Fixes a NULL pointer dereference when ras_core is NULL and ras_core->dev is accessed in the error path. Reported by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@linaro.org>

Linux kernel NULL deref in drm/amd/ras timestamp function
CVE-2026-53315 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/ras: Fix NULL deref in ras_core_get_utc_second_timestamp() ras_core_get_utc_second_timestamp() retrieves the current UTC timestamp (in seconds since the Unix epoch) through a platform-specific RAS system callback and is used for timestamping RAS error events. The function checks ras_core in the conditional statement before calling the sys_fn callback. However, when the condition fails, the function prints an error message using ras_core->dev. If ras_core is NULL, this can lead to a potential NULL pointer dereference when accessing ras_core->dev. Add an early NULL check for ras_core at the beginning of the function and return 0 when the pointer is not valid. This prevents the dereference and makes the control flow clearer.

Linux kernel CPU hotplug callback failure in padata
CVE-2026-53314 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: padata: Put CPU offline callback in ONLINE section to allow failure syzbot reported the following warning: DEAD callback error for CPU1 WARNING: kernel/cpu.c:1463 at _cpu_down+0x759/0x1020 kernel/cpu.c:1463, CPU#0: syz.0.1960/14614 at commit 4ae12d8bd9a8 ("Merge tag 'kbuild-fixes-7.0-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kbuild/linux") which tglx traced to padata_cpu_dead() given it's the only sub-CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU callback that returns an error. Failure isn't allowed in hotplug states before CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU so move the CPU offline callback to the ONLINE section where failure is possible.

Linux Kernel: AMD DRM Null Deref in dc_dmub_srv Logging
CVE-2026-53313 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Avoid NULL dereference in dc_dmub_srv error paths In dc_dmub_srv_log_diagnostic_data() and dc_dmub_srv_enable_dpia_trace(). Both functions check: if (!dc_dmub_srv || !dc_dmub_srv->dmub) and then call DC_LOG_ERROR() inside that block. DC_LOG_ERROR() uses dc_dmub_srv->ctx internally. So if dc_dmub_srv is NULL, the logging itself can dereference a NULL pointer and cause a crash. Fix this by splitting the checks. First check if dc_dmub_srv is NULL and return immediately. Then check dc_dmub_srv->dmub and log the error only when dc_dmub_srv is valid. Fixes the below: ../display/dc/dc_dmub_srv.c:962 dc_dmub_srv_log_diagnostic_data() error: we previously assumed 'dc_dmub_srv' could be null (see line 961) ../display/dc/dc_dmub_srv.c:1167 dc_dmub_srv_enable_dpia_trace() error: we previously assumed 'dc_dmub_srv' could be null (see line 1166)

Linux Kernel: RISC-V IOMMU Sign-Extended Page Table Overflow (infinite loop)
CVE-2026-53312 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/riscv: Remove overflows on the invalidation path Since RISC-V supports a sign extended page table it should support a gather->end of ULONG_MAX, but if this happens it will infinite loop because of the overflow. Also avoid overflow computing the length by moving the +1 to the other side of the <

Linux Kernel: FUSE uninit-val in fuse_dentry_revalidate()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fuse: fix uninit-value in fuse_dentry_revalidate() fuse_dentry_revalidate() may be called with a dentry that didn't had ->d_time initialised. The issue was found with KMSAN, where lookup_open() calls __d_alloc(), followed by d_revalidate(), as shown below: ===================================================== BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in fuse_dentry_revalidate+0x150/0x13d0 fs/fuse/dir.c:394 fuse_dentry_revalidate+0x150/0x13d0 fs/fuse/dir.c:394 d_revalidate fs/namei.c:1030 [inline] lookup_open fs/namei.c:4405 [inline] open_last_lookups fs/namei.c:4583 [inline] path_openat+0x1614/0x64c0 fs/namei.c:4827 do_file_open+0x2aa/0x680 fs/namei.c:4859 [...] Uninit was created at: slab_post_alloc_hook mm/slub.c:4466 [inline] slab_alloc_node mm/slub.c:4788 [inline] kmem_cache_alloc_lru_noprof+0x382/0x1280 mm/slub.c:4807 __d_alloc+0x55/0xa00 fs/dcache.c:1740 d_alloc_parallel+0x99/0x2740 fs/dcache.c:2604 lookup_open fs/namei.c:4398 [inline] open_last_lookups fs/namei.c:4583 [inline] path_openat+0x135f/0x64c0 fs/namei.c:4827 do_file_open+0x2aa/0x680 fs/namei.c:4859 [...] =====================================================

Linux Kernel: OCFS2 DLM OffbyOne in region comparison
CVE-2026-53309 9.8 - Critical - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2/dlm: fix off-by-one in dlm_match_regions() region comparison The local-vs-remote region comparison loop uses '<=' instead of '<', causing it to read one entry past the valid range of qr_regions. The other loops in the same function correctly use '<'. Fix the loop condition to use '<' for consistency and correctness.

Linux Kernel: soc/tegra CBB Cross-Fabric Target Timeout Lookup Fault
CVE-2026-53310 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: soc/tegra: cbb: Fix cross-fabric target timeout lookup When a fabric receives an error interrupt, the error may have occurred on a different fabric. The target timeout lookup was using the wrong base address (cbb->regs) with offsets from a different fabric's target map, causing a kernel page fault.

Linux Kernel: max77705 Driver Wq Leak & UAF
CVE-2026-53308 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: max77705: Free allocated workqueue and fix removal order Use devm interface for allocating workqueue to fix two bugs at the same time: 1. Driver leaks the memory on remove(), because the workqueue is not destroyed. 2. Driver allocates workqueue and then registers interrupt handlers with devm interface. This means that probe error paths will not use a reversed order, but first destroy the workqueue and then, via devm release handlers, free the interrupt. The interrupt handler schedules work on this exact workqueue, thus if interrupt is hit in this short time window - after destroying workqueue, but before devm() frees the interrupt - the schedulled work will lead to use of freed memory. Change is not equivalent in the workqueue itself: use non-legacy API which does not set (__WQ_LEGACY | WQ_MEM_RECLAIM). The workqueue is used to update power supply (power_supply_changed()) status, thus there is no point to run it for memory reclaim. Note that dev_name() is not directly used in second argument to prevent possible unlikely parsing any "%" character in device name as format.

Linux Kernel: Pinmux Validation Crash in pinconf_generic
CVE-2026-53307 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinctrl: pinconf-generic: Fully validate 'pinmux' property The pinconf_generic_parse_dt_pinmux() assumes that the 'pinmux' property is not empty when present. This might be not true. With that, the allocator will give a special value in return and not NULL which lead to the crash when trying to access that (invalid) memory. Fix that by fully validating 'pinmux' value, including its length.

Linux Kernel hvc_iucv off-by-one: exceeds max device table index
CVE-2026-53306 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tty: hvc_iucv: fix off-by-one in number of supported devices MAX_HVC_IUCV_LINES == HVC_ALLOC_TTY_ADAPTERS == 8. This is the number of entries in: static struct hvc_iucv_private *hvc_iucv_table[MAX_HVC_IUCV_LINES]; Sometimes hvc_iucv_table[] is limited by: (a) if (num > hvc_iucv_devices) // for error detection or (b) for (i = 0; i < hvc_iucv_devices; i++) // in 2 places (so these 2 don't agree; second one appears to be correct to me.) hvc_iucv_devices can be 0..8. This is a counter. (c) if (hvc_iucv_devices > MAX_HVC_IUCV_LINES) If hvc_iucv_devices == 8, (a) allows the code to access hvc_iucv_table[8]. Oops.

Linux kernel Oops on USB Type-C ps883x unbind NULL deref
CVE-2026-53305 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: typec: ps883x: Fix Oops at unbind When trying to unbind a device in order to bind to it vfio-platform as: echo bc0000.geniqup > /sys/bus/platform/devices/bc0000.geniqup/driver/unbind I get the following Oops: [ 436.478639] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000020 [ 436.487762] Mem abort info: [ 436.490716] ESR = 0x0000000096000004 [ 436.494595] EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits [ 436.500071] SET = 0, FnV = 0 [ 436.503250] EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 [ 436.506505] FSC = 0x04: level 0 translation fault [ 436.511533] Data abort info: [ 436.514558] ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004, ISS2 = 0x00000000 [ 436.520215] CM = 0, WnR = 0, TnD = 0, TagAccess = 0 [ 436.525436] GCS = 0, Overlay = 0, DirtyBit = 0, Xs = 0 [ 436.530918] user pgtable: 4k pages, 48-bit VAs, pgdp=00000008861a9000 [ 436.537554] [0000000000000020] pgd=0000000000000000, p4d=0000000000000000 [ 436.544548] Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000004 [#1] SMP [ 436.550374] Modules linked in: [ 436.553542] CPU: 2 UID: 0 PID: 671 Comm: bash Tainted: G W 7.0.0-rc3-g56fcdd0911a5-dirty #2 PREEMPT [ 436.564440] Tainted: [W]=WARN [ 436.567515] Hardware name: LENOVO 91B6CTO1WW/3796, BIOS O6NKT3BA 05/02/2025 [ 436.574675] pstate: 21400005 (nzCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO +DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ 436.581841] pc : ps883x_retimer_remove+0x14/0x94 [ 436.586605] lr : i2c_device_remove+0x28/0x84 [ 436.591017] sp : ffff8000847137c0 That's because the ps883x_retimer_remove() retrieves the driver data from i2c_get_clientdata() which was never set at probe.

Linux Kernel sg Module Def Reserved Size Bypass Soft Lockup
CVE-2026-53304 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: sg: Resolve soft lockup issue when opening /dev/sgX The parameter def_reserved_size defines the default buffer size reserved for each Sg_fd and should be restricted to a range between 0 and 1,048,576 (see https://tldp.org/HOWTO/SCSI-Generic-HOWTO/proc.html). Although the function sg_proc_write_dressz enforces this limit, it is possible to bypass it by directly modifying the module parameter as shown below, which then causes a soft lockup: echo -1 > /sys/module/sg/parameters/def_reserved_size exec 4<> /dev/sg0 watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#5 stuck for 26 seconds!

Linux Kernel: f2fs ExtensionList read w/o sb_lock -> OOB/INCONSISTENT
CVE-2026-53303 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: protect extension_list reading with sb_lock in f2fs_sbi_show() In f2fs_sbi_show(), the extension_list, extension_count and hot_ext_count are read without holding sbi->sb_lock. If a concurrent sysfs store modifies the extension list via f2fs_update_extension_list(), the show path may read inconsistent count and array contents, potentially leading to out-of-bounds access or displaying stale data. Fix this by holding sb_lock around the entire extension list read and format operation.

Linux Kernel: EIP93 HMAC NULL deref causes kernel panic
CVE-2026-53302 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: eip93 - fix hmac setkey algo selection eip93_hmac_setkey() allocates a temporary ahash transform for computing HMAC ipad/opad key material. The allocation uses the driver-specific cra_driver_name (e.g. "sha256-eip93") but passes CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC as the mask, which excludes async algorithms. Since the EIP93 hash algorithms are the only ones registered under those driver names and they are inherently async, the lookup is self-contradictory and always fails with -ENOENT. When called from the AEAD setkey path, this failure leaves the SA record partially initialized with zeroed digest fields.

The code already handles async completion correctly via crypto_wait_req(), so there is no requirement to restrict the lookup to synchronous algorithms. Note that hashing a single 64-byte block through the hardware is likely slower than doing it in software due to the DMA round-trip overhead, but offloading it may still spare CPU cycles on the slower embedded cores where this IP is found.

Linux Kernel NPE in Amlogic T7 Reset Ops
CVE-2026-53301 - June 26, 2026

Linux Kernel NETC Driver: DMA UAF Resolved
CVE-2026-53300 7.8 - High - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: enetc: fix NTMP DMA use-after-free issue The AI-generated review reported a potential DMA use-after-free issue [1]. If netc_xmit_ntmp_cmd() times out and returns an error, the pending command is not explicitly aborted, while ntmp_free_data_mem() unconditionally frees the DMA buffer. If the buffer has already been reallocated elsewhere, this may lead to silent memory corruption. Because the hardware eventually processes the pending command and perform a DMA write of the response to the physical address of the freed buffer. To resolve this issue, this patch does the following modifications: 1. Convert cbdr->ring_lock from a spinlock to a mutex The lock was originally a spinlock in case NTMP operations might be invoked from atomic context. After downstream support for all NTMP tables, no such usage has materialized. A mutex lock is now required because the driver now needs to reclaim used BDs and release associated DMA memory within the lock's context, while dma_free_coherent() might sleep. 2. Introduce software command BD (struct netc_swcbd) The hardware write-back overwrites the addr and len fields of the BD, so the driver cannot rely on the hardware BD to free the associated DMA memory. The driver now maintains a software shadow BD storing the DMA buffer pointer, DMA address, and size. And netc_xmit_ntmp_cmd() only reclaims older BDs when the number of used BDs reaches NETC_CBDR_CLEAN_WORK (16). The software BD enables correct DMA memory release. With this, struct ntmp_dma_buf and ntmp_free_data_mem() are no longer needed and are removed. 3. Require callers to hold ring_lock across netc_xmit_ntmp_cmd() netc_xmit_ntmp_cmd() releases the ring_lock before the caller finishes consuming the response. At this point, if a concurrent thread submits a new command, it may trigger ntmp_clean_cbdr() and free the DMA buffer while it is still in use. Move ring_lock ownership to the caller to ensure the response buffer cannot be reclaimed prematurely. So the helpers ntmp_select_and_lock_cbdr() and ntmp_unlock_cbdr() are added. These changes eliminate the DMA use-after-free condition and ensure safe and consistent BD reclamation and DMA buffer lifecycle management.

Linux Kernel Airoha Driver NULL Deref in QDMA Init
CVE-2026-53299 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: airoha: Move ndesc initialization at end of airoha_qdma_init_tx() If queue entry list allocation fails in airoha_qdma_init_tx_queue routine, airoha_qdma_cleanup_tx_queue() will trigger a NULL pointer dereference accessing the queue entry array. The issue is due to the early ndesc initialization in airoha_qdma_init_tx_queue(). Fix the issue moving ndesc initialization at end of airoha_qdma_init_tx routine.

Linux Kernel: airoha Driver NULL Deref in RX Queue Cleanup
CVE-2026-53298 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: airoha: Move ndesc initialization at end of airoha_qdma_init_rx_queue() If queue entry or DMA descriptor list allocation fails in airoha_qdma_init_rx_queue routine, airoha_qdma_cleanup() will trigger a NULL pointer dereference running netif_napi_del() for RX queue NAPIs since netif_napi_add() has never been executed to this particular RX NAPI. The issue is due to the early ndesc initialization in airoha_qdma_init_rx_queue() since airoha_qdma_cleanup() relies on ndesc value to check if the queue is properly initialized. Fix the issue moving ndesc initialization at end of airoha_qdma_init_tx routine. Move page_pool allocation after descriptor list allocation in order to avoid memory leaks if desc allocation fails.

Linux Kernel: Prevent double mana_remove invocation that causes NULL deref
CVE-2026-53297 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: mana: Guard mana_remove against double invocation If PM resume fails (e.g., mana_attach() returns an error), mana_probe() calls mana_remove(), which tears down the device and sets gd->gdma_context = NULL and gd->driver_data = NULL. However, a failed resume callback does not automatically unbind the driver. When the device is eventually unbound, mana_remove() is invoked a second time. Without a NULL check, it dereferences gc->dev with gc == NULL, causing a kernel panic. Add an early return if gdma_context or driver_data is NULL so the second invocation is harmless. Move the dev = gc->dev assignment after the guard so it cannot dereference NULL.

Linux Kernel: UAF via Missed Channel Free in Mailbox
CVE-2026-53296 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mailbox: mailbox-test: free channels on probe error On probe error, free the previously obtained channels. This not only prevents a leak, but also UAF scenarios because the client structure will be removed nonetheless because it was allocated with devm.

OOPS from missing channel array in Linux Kernel mailbox
CVE-2026-53295 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mailbox: add sanity check for channel array Fail gracefully if there is no channel array attached to the mailbox controller. Otherwise the later dereference will cause an OOPS which might not be seen because mailbox controllers might instantiate very early. Remove the comment explaining the obvious while here.

Linux Kernel: Double-Free in mailbox:mailbox-test Channel Aliasing
CVE-2026-53294 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mailbox: mailbox-test: don't free the reused channel The RX channel can be aliased to the TX channel if it has a different MMIO. This special case needs to be handled when freeing the channels otherwise a double-free occurs.

Linux kernel amdgpu: improper MMR register read lock bug
CVE-2026-53293 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: fix AMDGPU_INFO_READ_MMR_REG There were multiple issues in that code. First of all the order between the reset semaphore and the mm_lock was wrong (e.g. copy_to_user) was called while holding the lock. Then we allocated memory while holding the reset semaphore which is also a pretty big bug and can deadlock. Then we used down_read_trylock() instead of waiting for the reset to finish.

Linux Kernel pn_socket_autobind() BUG: Improper Error Handling Causes PANIC

In that case the BUG_ON() fires and panics the kernel from a user-triggerable path. Treat the "bind returned -EINVAL but pn_port() is still 0" case as a regular error and propagate -EINVAL to the caller instead of crashing. Existing callers already translate a non-zero return from pn_socket_autobind() into -ENOBUFS/-EAGAIN, so returning -EINVAL here only changes behaviour from panic to a normal errno.

Linux Kernel ALSA hda/Conexant Jack Detect Deref Crash
CVE-2026-53291 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: hda/conexant: Fix missing error check for jack detection In cx_probe(), the return value of snd_hda_jack_detect_enable_callback() is ignored. This function returns a pointer, and if it fails (e.g., due to memory allocation failure), it returns an error pointer which must be checked using IS_ERR(). If the registration fails, the driver continues to probe, but the jack detection callback will not be registered. This can lead to a kernel crash later when the driver attempts to handle jack events or accesses the uninitialized structure. Check the return value using IS_ERR() and propagate the error via PTR_ERR() to the probe caller.

Linux kernel: Use-after-Free in drm_dev_put order during xe stream close
CVE-2026-53290 7.8 - High - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/eustall: Fix drm_dev_put called before stream disable in close In xe_eu_stall_stream_close(), drm_dev_put() is called before the stream is disabled and its resources are freed. If this drops the last reference, the device structures could be freed while the subsequent cleanup code still accesses them, leading to a use-after-free. Fix this by moving drm_dev_put() after all device accesses are complete. This matches the ordering in xe_oa_release(). (cherry picked from commit 35aff528f7297e949e5e19c9cd7fd748cf1cf21c)

ice Driver NULL Ptr Deref in ice_reset_all_vfs Kernel Crash
CVE-2026-53289 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ice: fix NULL pointer dereference in ice_reset_all_vfs() ice_reset_all_vfs() ignores the return value of ice_vf_rebuild_vsi(). When the VSI rebuild fails (e.g. during NVM firmware update via nvmupdate64e), ice_vsi_rebuild() tears down the VSI on its error path, leaving txq_map and rxq_map as NULL. The subsequent unconditional call to ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild() leads to a NULL pointer dereference in ice_ena_vf_q_mappings() when it accesses vsi->txq_map[0]. The single-VF reset path in ice_reset_vf() already handles this correctly by checking the return value of ice_vf_reconfig_vsi() and skipping ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild() on failure. Apply the same pattern to ice_reset_all_vfs(): check the return value of ice_vf_rebuild_vsi() and skip ice_vf_post_vsi_rebuild() and ice_eswitch_attach_vf() on failure. The VF is left safely disabled (ICE_VF_STATE_INIT not set, VFGEN_RSTAT not set to VFACTIVE) and can be recovered via a VFLR triggered by a PCI reset of the VF (sysfs reset or driver rebind). Note that this patch does not prevent the VF VSI rebuild from failing during NVM update the underlying cause is firmware being in a transitional state while the EMP reset is processed, which can cause Admin Queue commands (ice_add_vsi, ice_cfg_vsi_lan) to fail. This patch only prevents the subsequent NULL pointer dereference that crashes the kernel when the rebuild does fail. crash> bt PID: 50795 TASK: ff34c9ee708dc680 CPU: 1 COMMAND: "kworker/u512:5" #0 [ff72159bcfe5bb50] machine_kexec at ffffffffaa8850ee #1 [ff72159bcfe5bba8] __crash_kexec at ffffffffaaa15fba #2 [ff72159bcfe5bc68] crash_kexec at ffffffffaaa16540 #3 [ff72159bcfe5bc70] oops_end at ffffffffaa837eda #4 [ff72159bcfe5bc90] page_fault_oops at ffffffffaa893997 #5 [ff72159bcfe5bce8] exc_page_fault at ffffffffab528595 #6 [ff72159bcfe5bd10] asm_exc_page_fault at ffffffffab600bb2 [exception RIP: ice_ena_vf_q_mappings+0x79] RIP: ffffffffc0a85b29 RSP: ff72159bcfe5bdc8 RFLAGS: 00010206 RAX: 00000000000f0000 RBX: ff34c9efc9c00000 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000010 RDI: ff34c9efc9c00000 RBP: ff34c9efc27d4828 R8: 0000000000000093 R9: 0000000000000040 R10: ff34c9efc27d4828 R11: 0000000000000040 R12: 0000000000100000 R13: 0000000000000010 R14: R15: ORIG_RAX: ffffffffffffffff CS: 0010 SS: 0018 #7 [ff72159bcfe5bdf8] ice_sriov_post_vsi_rebuild at ffffffffc0a85e2e [ice] #8 [ff72159bcfe5be08] ice_reset_all_vfs at ffffffffc0a920b4 [ice] #9 [ff72159bcfe5be48] ice_service_task at ffffffffc0a31519 [ice] #10 [ff72159bcfe5be88] process_one_work at ffffffffaa93dca4 #11 [ff72159bcfe5bec8] worker_thread at ffffffffaa93e9de #12 [ff72159bcfe5bf18] kthread at ffffffffaa946663 #13 [ff72159bcfe5bf50] ret_from_fork at ffffffffaa8086b9 The panic occurs attempting to dereference the NULL pointer in RDX at ice_sriov.c:294, which loads vsi->txq_map (offset 0x4b8 in ice_vsi).

Segment boundaries that fall within a 2MB block therefore require a PTE table so that different attributes can be applied on either side of the boundary. KERNEL_SEGMENT_COUNT still correctly counts the five permanent kernel VMAs registered by declare_kernel_vmas(). However, since commit 5973a62efa34 ("arm64: map [_text, _stext) virtual address range non-executable+read-only"), the early mapper also maps [_text, _stext) separately from [_stext, _etext). This adds one more early-only split and can require one more page-table page than the existing EARLY_SEGMENT_EXTRA_PAGES allowance reserves. Increase the 4K-page early mapping allowance by one page to cover that additional split.

Linux Kernel CAPSET Audit Record Capability Corruption CVE-2026-53287
CVE-2026-53287 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: audit: fix incorrect inheritable capability in CAPSET records __audit_log_capset() records the effective capability set into the inheritable field due to a copy-paste error. Every CAPSET audit record therefore reports cap_pi (process inheritable) with the value of cap_effective instead of cap_inheritable. This silently corrupts audit data used for compliance and forensic analysis: an attacker who modifies inheritable capabilities to prepare for a privilege-escalating exec would have the change masked in the audit trail. The bug has been present since the original introduction of CAPSET audit records in 2008.

Linux Kernel idpf doublefree / UAF in aux device init paths
CVE-2026-53286 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: idpf: fix double free and use-after-free in aux device error paths When auxiliary_device_add() fails in idpf_plug_vport_aux_dev() or idpf_plug_core_aux_dev(), the err_aux_dev_add label calls auxiliary_device_uninit() and falls through to err_aux_dev_init. The uninit call will trigger put_device(), which invokes the release callback (idpf_vport_adev_release / idpf_core_adev_release) that frees iadev. The fall-through then reads adev->id from the freed iadev for ida_free() and double-frees iadev with kfree(). Free the IDA slot and clear the back-pointer before uninit, while adev is still valid, then return immediately. Commit 65637c3a1811 ("idpf: fix UAF in RDMA core aux dev deinitialization") fixed the same use-after-free in the matching unplug path in this file but missed both probe error paths.

Linux Kernel Crash via DCN32 Phantom-Plane Allocation in DRM/AMD
CVE-2026-53285 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Wrap DCN32 phantom-plane allocation in DC_RUN_WITH_PREEMPTION_ENABLED [Why] dcn32_validate_bandwidth() wraps dcn32_internal_validate_bw() with DC_FP_START()/DC_FP_END(). In x86 non-RT, DC_FP_START takes fpregs_lock(), which disables local softirqs. The DML1 path through dcn32_enable_phantom_plane() calls kvzalloc() to allocate ~335 KiB for dc_plane_state. This triggers the vmalloc path, which calls BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) because it's invoked within the FPU-enabled (softirq disabled) region, leading to a kernel crash. [How] Wrap the dc_state_create_phantom_plane() call with the DC_RUN_WITH_PREEMPTION_ENABLED() macro to allow preemption during this memory allocation.

After that we call btrfs_extent_io_tree_release() to free all extent states from dirty_pages io tree. However if we hit an error from btrfs_write_marked_extent(), then we still call btrfs_extent_io_tree_release() to clear that dirty_pages io tree, which may contain dirty records that we haven't yet submitted. Furthermore, the later transaction cleanup path will utilize that dirty_pages io tree to properly cleanup those dirty ebs, but since it's already empty, no dirty ebs are properly cleaned up, thus will later trigger the warnings inside invalidate_btree_folios(). ---truncated---

Linux Kernel 6.18: AMD IOMMU Array Bounds-Check Failure (CVE-2026-53283)
CVE-2026-53283 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/amd: Bounds-check devid in __rlookup_amd_iommu() iommu_device_register() walks every device on the PCI bus via bus_for_each_dev() and calls amd_iommu_probe_device() for each. The inlined check_device() path computes the device's sbdf, calls rlookup_amd_iommu() to find the owning IOMMU, and only afterwards verifies devid <= pci_seg->last_bdf. __rlookup_amd_iommu() indexes rlookup_table[devid] with no bounds check of its own, so for a PCI device whose BDF is not described by the IVRS, the lookup reads past the end of the allocation before the caller's bounds check can run. This was harmless before commit e874c666b15b ("iommu/amd: Change rlookup, irq_lookup, and alias to use kvalloc()"): the table was a zeroed page-order allocation, so the over-read returned NULL and the caller's NULL check skipped the device. After that commit the table is a tight kvcalloc() and the over-read returns adjacent slab contents, which check_device() then dereferences as a struct amd_iommu *, causing a boot-time GPF. Seen on Google Compute Engine ct6e VMs, where the virtualized IVRS describes only the four TPU endpoints 00:04.0-07.0; the gVNIC at 00:08.0 (devid 0x40) indexes 56 bytes past the 456-byte allocation, into the adjacent kmalloc-512 slab object: pci 0000:00:04.0: Adding to iommu group 0 pci 0000:00:05.0: Adding to iommu group 1 pci 0000:00:06.0: Adding to iommu group 2 pci 0000:00:07.0: Adding to iommu group 3 Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x3a64695f78746382: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.18.22 #1 Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 12/06/2025 RIP: 0010:amd_iommu_probe_device+0x54/0x3a0 Call Trace: __iommu_probe_device+0x107/0x520 probe_iommu_group+0x29/0x50 bus_for_each_dev+0x7e/0xe0 iommu_device_register+0xc9/0x240 iommu_go_to_state+0x9c0/0x1c60 amd_iommu_init+0x14/0x40 pci_iommu_init+0x16/0x60 do_one_initcall+0x47/0x2f0 Guard the array access in __rlookup_amd_iommu(). With the fix applied on 6.18.22, the gVNIC at 00:08.0 is skipped cleanly and the VM boots.

Linux Kernel kexec: Improper Stack Return Address Handling (CVE-2026-53282)
CVE-2026-53282 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/kexec: Push kjump return address even for non-kjump kexec The version of purgatory code shipped by kexec-tools attempts to look above the top of its stack to find a return address for a kjump, even in a non-kjump kexec. After the commit in Fixes: the word above the stack might not be there, leading to a fault (which is at least now caught by my exception-handling code in kexec). That commit fixed things for the actual kjump path, but no longer "gratuitously" pushes the unused return address to the stack in the non-kjump path. Put that *back* in the non-kjump path, to prevent purgatory from crashing when trying to access it.

Linux Kernel: iommu/vt-d NULL pointer deref (Use-After-Free)
CVE-2026-53281 8.8 - High - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/vt-d: Avoid NULL pointer dereference or refcount corruption Commit 60f030f7418d ("iommu/vt-d: Avoid use of NULL after WARN_ON_ONCE") fixed a NULL pointer dereference in an unlikely situation partly. If dev_pasid is not found in the dev_pasids list, it remains NULL. However, the teardown operations are executed unconditionally, this lead to a NULL pointer dereference or refcount corruption. If the domain was never attached to this IOMMU, info will be NULL, which would cause an immediate dereference when checking --info->refcnt. Even if info is not NULL, decrementing the refcount without having removed a valid PASID might unbalance the count. This could lead to premature dropping of the refcount to 0, potentially causing a use-after-free for the remaining active devices sharing the domain. Fix it by returning early if dev_pasid is NULL, before executing the teardown operations. Issue found by AI review and suggested by Kevin Tian. https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260421031347.1408890-1-zhenzhong.duan%40intel.com

Linux Kernel IOMMU NULL Domain Deref Crash in pci_dev_reset_iommu_done
CVE-2026-53280 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu: Fix NULL group->domain dereference in pci_dev_reset_iommu_done() Local sashiko review pointed it out that group->domain could be NULL when a default domain fails to allocate during the first probe, which can crash at domain->ops->attach_dev dereference in __iommu_attach_device() invoked by pci_dev_reset_iommu_done(). pci_dev_reset_iommu_prepare() is fine as an old_domain pointer can be NULL. Skip the re-attach in pci_dev_reset_iommu_done() to fix the bug.

Linux Kernel: DRM GMA500 LVDS hang on init via adapter deregister
CVE-2026-53279 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/gma500/oaktrail_lvds: fix hang on init failure The LVDS init code looks up an I2C adapter using i2c_get_adapter() and tries to read the EDID before falling back to allocating and registering its own adapter. The error handling does not separate these cases so on a late init failure it will try to deregister and free also an adapter that had previously been registered. Since i2c_get_adapter() takes another reference to the adapter, deregistration hangs indefinitely while waiting for the reference to be released. Fix this by only destroying adapters allocated during LVDS init on errors.

Linux kernel arm_mpam NULL pointer deref in __destroy_component_cfg
CVE-2026-53278 - June 26, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arm_mpam: Check whether the config array is allocated before destroying it __destroy_component_cfg() is called to free the configuration array. It uses the embedded 'garbage' structure, which means the array has to be allocated. If __destroy_component_cfg() is called from mpam_disable() before the configuration was ever allocated, then a NULL pointer is dereferenced. Check for this case and return early if the configuration is not allocated. __destroy_component_cfg() also frees the mbwu_state as this is allocated by __allocate_component_cfg(). As the mbwu_state is allocated after comp->cfg is set, and is also under mpam_list_lock, only the first pointer needs checking.

KVM ARM64 srcu lock bug in page table walk (CVE-2026-53277)
CVE-2026-53277 8.8 - High - June 25, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: Take the SRCU lock for page table walks in fault injection and AT emulation walk_s1() and kvm_walk_nested_s2() expect to be called while holding kvm->srcu to guard against memslot changes. While this is generally the case, __kvm_at_s12() and __kvm_find_s1_desc_level() call into the respective walkers without taking kvm->srcu. Fix by acquiring kvm->srcu prior to the table walk in both instances.

Linux kernel ISO use-after-free in hci_conn during socket rebinding
CVE-2026-53276 7.8 - High - June 25, 2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: ISO: Fix a use-after-free of the hci_conn pointer In iso_sock_rebind_bc(), the bis pointer is cached, then the socket lock is dropped: bis = iso_pi(sk)->conn->hcon; /* Release the socket before lookups since that requires hci_dev_lock * which shall not be acquired while holding sock_lock for proper * ordering. */ release_sock(sk); hci_dev_lock(bis->hdev); During the unlocked window, could a concurrent close() destroy the connection and free the bis structure, causing hci_dev_lock(bis->hdev) to access memory after it is freed, fix this by using the hdev reference which was safely acquired via iso_conn_get_hdev().
