CVE-2026-23305 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-03-25 N/A
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: accel/rocket: fix unwinding in error path in rocket_probe When rocket_core_init() fails (as could be the case with EPROBE_DEFER), we need to properly unwind by decrementing the counter we just incremented and if this is the first core we failed to probe, remove the rocket DRM device with rocket_device_fini() as well. This matches the logic in rocket_remove(). Failing to properly unwind results in out-of-bounds accesses.
CVE-2026-23306 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-03-25 N/A
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: pm8001: Fix use-after-free in pm8001_queue_command() Commit e29c47fe8946 ("scsi: pm8001: Simplify pm8001_task_exec()") refactors pm8001_queue_command(), however it introduces a potential cause of a double free scenario when it changes the function to return -ENODEV in case of phy down/device gone state. In this path, pm8001_queue_command() updates task status and calls task_done to indicate to upper layer that the task has been handled. However, this also frees the underlying SAS task. A -ENODEV is then returned to the caller. When libsas sas_ata_qc_issue() receives this error value, it assumes the task wasn't handled/queued by LLDD and proceeds to clean up and free the task again, resulting in a double free. Since pm8001_queue_command() handles the SAS task in this case, it should return 0 to the caller indicating that the task has been handled.
CVE-2026-23307 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-03-25 N/A
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: ems_usb: ems_usb_read_bulk_callback(): check the proper length of a message When looking at the data in a USB urb, the actual_length is the size of the buffer passed to the driver, not the transfer_buffer_length which is set by the driver as the max size of the buffer. When parsing the messages in ems_usb_read_bulk_callback() properly check the size both at the beginning of parsing the message to make sure it is big enough for the expected structure, and at the end of the message to make sure we don't overflow past the end of the buffer for the next message.
CVE-2026-23308 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-03-25 N/A
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinctrl: equilibrium: fix warning trace on load The callback functions 'eqbr_irq_mask()' and 'eqbr_irq_ack()' are also called in the callback function 'eqbr_irq_mask_ack()'. This is done to avoid source code duplication. The problem, is that in the function 'eqbr_irq_mask()' also calles the gpiolib function 'gpiochip_disable_irq()' This generates the following warning trace in the log for every gpio on load.

CVE-2026-23310 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-03-25 N/A
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf/bonding: reject vlan+srcmac xmit_hash_policy change when XDP is loaded bond_option_mode_set() already rejects mode changes that would make a loaded XDP program incompatible via bond_xdp_check(). However, bond_option_xmit_hash_policy_set() has no such guard. For 802.3ad and balance-xor modes, bond_xdp_check() returns false when xmit_hash_policy is vlan+srcmac, because the 802.1q payload is usually absent due to hardware offload. This means a user can: 1. Attach a native XDP program to a bond in 802.3ad/balance-xor mode with a compatible xmit_hash_policy (e.g. layer2+3). 2. Change xmit_hash_policy to vlan+srcmac while XDP remains loaded. This leaves bond->xdp_prog set but bond_xdp_check() now returning false for the same device. When the bond is later destroyed, dev_xdp_uninstall() calls bond_xdp_set(dev, NULL, NULL) to remove the program, which hits the bond_xdp_check() guard and returns -EOPNOTSUPP, triggering: WARN_ON(dev_xdp_install(dev, mode, bpf_op, NULL, 0, NULL)) Fix this by rejecting xmit_hash_policy changes to vlan+srcmac when an XDP program is loaded on a bond in 802.3ad or balance-xor mode. commit 39a0876d595b ("net, bonding: Disallow vlan+srcmac with XDP") introduced bond_xdp_check() which returns false for 802.3ad/balance-xor modes when xmit_hash_policy is vlan+srcmac. The check was wired into bond_xdp_set() to reject XDP attachment with an incompatible policy, but the symmetric path -- preventing xmit_hash_policy from being changed to an incompatible value after XDP is already loaded -- was left unguarded in bond_option_xmit_hash_policy_set(). Note: commit 094ee6017ea0 ("bonding: check xdp prog when set bond mode") later added a similar guard to bond_option_mode_set(), but bond_option_xmit_hash_policy_set() remained unprotected.

CVE-2026-23312 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-03-25 N/A
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: usb: kaweth: validate USB endpoints The kaweth driver should validate that the device it is probing has the proper number and types of USB endpoints it is expecting before it binds to it. If a malicious device were to not have the same urbs the driver will crash later on when it blindly accesses these endpoints.

CVE-2026-23333 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-03-25 N/A
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: validate open interval overlap [ Upstream commit 648946966a08e4cb1a71619e3d1b12bd7642de7b ] Open intervals do not have an end element, in particular an open interval at the end of the set is hard to validate because of it is lacking the end element, and interval validation relies on such end element to perform the checks. This patch adds a new flag field to struct nft_set_elem, this is not an issue because this is a temporary object that is allocated in the stack from the insert/deactivate path. This flag field is used to specify that this is the last element in this add/delete command. The last flag is used, in combination with the start element cookie, to check if there is a partial overlap, eg. Already exists: 255.255.255.0-255.255.255.254 Add interval: 255.255.255.0-255.255.255.255 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ start element overlap Basically, the idea is to check for an existing end element in the set if there is an overlap with an existing start element. However, the last open interval can come in any position in the add command, the corner case can get a bit more complicated: Already exists: 255.255.255.0-255.255.255.254 Add intervals: 255.255.255.0-255.255.255.255,255.255.255.0-255.255.255.254 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ start element overlap To catch this overlap, annotate that the new start element is a possible overlap, then report the overlap if the next element is another start element that confirms that previous element in an open interval at the end of the set. For deletions, do not update the start cookie when deleting an open interval, otherwise this can trigger spurious EEXIST when adding new elements. Unfortunately, there is no NFT_SET_ELEM_INTERVAL_OPEN flag which would make easier to detect open interval overlaps.

CVE-2026-23337 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-03-25 N/A
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinctrl: pinconf-generic: Fix memory leak in pinconf_generic_parse_dt_config() In pinconf_generic_parse_dt_config(), if parse_dt_cfg() fails, it returns directly. This bypasses the cleanup logic and results in a memory leak of the cfg buffer. Fix this by jumping to the out label on failure, ensuring kfree(cfg) is called before returning.
CVE-2026-23316 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-03-25 N/A
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: ipv4: fix ARM64 alignment fault in multipath hash seed `struct sysctl_fib_multipath_hash_seed` contains two u32 fields (user_seed and mp_seed), making it an 8-byte structure with a 4-byte alignment requirement. In `fib_multipath_hash_from_keys()`, the code evaluates the entire struct atomically via `READ_ONCE()`: mp_seed = READ_ONCE(net->ipv4.sysctl_fib_multipath_hash_seed).mp_seed; While this silently works on GCC by falling back to unaligned regular loads which the ARM64 kernel tolerates, it causes a fatal kernel panic when compiled with Clang and LTO enabled. Commit e35123d83ee3 ("arm64: lto: Strengthen READ_ONCE() to acquire when CONFIG_LTO=y") strengthens `READ_ONCE()` to use Load-Acquire instructions (`ldar` / `ldapr`) to prevent compiler reordering bugs under Clang LTO. Since the macro evaluates the full 8-byte struct, Clang emits a 64-bit `ldar` instruction. ARM64 architecture strictly requires `ldar` to be naturally aligned, thus executing it on a 4-byte aligned address triggers a strict Alignment Fault (FSC = 0x21). Fix the read side by moving the `READ_ONCE()` directly to the `u32` member, which emits a safe 32-bit `ldar Wn`. Furthermore, Eric Dumazet pointed out that `WRITE_ONCE()` on the entire struct in `proc_fib_multipath_hash_set_seed()` is also flawed. Analysis shows that Clang splits this 8-byte write into two separate 32-bit `str` instructions. While this avoids an alignment fault, it destroys atomicity and exposes a tear-write vulnerability. Fix this by explicitly splitting the write into two 32-bit `WRITE_ONCE()` operations. Finally, add the missing `READ_ONCE()` when reading `user_seed` in `proc_fib_multipath_hash_seed()` to ensure proper pairing and concurrency safety.
CVE-2026-23317 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-03-25 N/A
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/vmwgfx: Return the correct value in vmw_translate_ptr functions Before the referenced fixes these functions used a lookup function that returned a pointer. This was changed to another lookup function that returned an error code with the pointer becoming an out parameter. The error path when the lookup failed was not changed to reflect this change and the code continued to return the PTR_ERR of the now uninitialized pointer. This could cause the vmw_translate_ptr functions to return success when they actually failed causing further uninitialized and OOB accesses.
CVE-2026-23318 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-03-25 N/A
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: usb-audio: Use correct version for UAC3 header validation The entry of the validators table for UAC3 AC header descriptor is defined with the wrong protocol version UAC_VERSION_2, while it should have been UAC_VERSION_3. This results in the validator never matching for actual UAC3 devices (protocol == UAC_VERSION_3), causing their header descriptors to bypass validation entirely. A malicious USB device presenting a truncated UAC3 header could exploit this to cause out-of-bounds reads when the driver later accesses unvalidated descriptor fields. The bug was introduced in the same commit as the recently fixed UAC3 feature unit sub-type typo, and appears to be from the same copy-paste error when the UAC3 section was created from the UAC2 section.
CVE-2026-23319 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-03-25 N/A
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix a UAF issue in bpf_trampoline_link_cgroup_shim The root cause of this bug is that when 'bpf_link_put' reduces the refcount of 'shim_link->link.link' to zero, the resource is considered released but may still be referenced via 'tr->progs_hlist' in 'cgroup_shim_find'. The actual cleanup of 'tr->progs_hlist' in 'bpf_shim_tramp_link_release' is deferred. During this window, another process can cause a use-after-free via 'bpf_trampoline_link_cgroup_shim'. Based on Martin KaFai Lau's suggestions, I have created a simple patch. To fix this: Add an atomic non-zero check in 'bpf_trampoline_link_cgroup_shim'. Only increment the refcount if it is not already zero. Testing: I verified the fix by adding a delay in 'bpf_shim_tramp_link_release' to make the bug easier to trigger: static void bpf_shim_tramp_link_release(struct bpf_link *link) { /* ... */ if (!shim_link->trampoline) return; + msleep(100); WARN_ON_ONCE(bpf_trampoline_unlink_prog(&shim_link->link, shim_link->trampoline, NULL)); bpf_trampoline_put(shim_link->trampoline); } Before the patch, running a PoC easily reproduced the crash(almost 100%) with a call trace similar to KaiyanM's report. After the patch, the bug no longer occurs even after millions of iterations.
CVE-2026-23320 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-03-25 N/A
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: gadget: f_ncm: align net_device lifecycle with bind/unbind Currently, the net_device is allocated in ncm_alloc_inst() and freed in ncm_free_inst(). This ties the network interface's lifetime to the configuration instance rather than the USB connection (bind/unbind). This decoupling causes issues when the USB gadget is disconnected where the underlying gadget device is removed. The net_device can outlive its parent, leading to dangling sysfs links and NULL pointer dereferences when accessing the freed gadget device. Problem 1: NULL pointer dereference on disconnect Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 Call trace: __pi_strlen+0x14/0x150 rtnl_fill_ifinfo+0x6b4/0x708 rtmsg_ifinfo_build_skb+0xd8/0x13c rtmsg_ifinfo+0x50/0xa0 __dev_notify_flags+0x4c/0x1f0 dev_change_flags+0x54/0x70 do_setlink+0x390/0xebc rtnl_newlink+0x7d0/0xac8 rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x27c/0x410 netlink_rcv_skb+0x134/0x150 rtnetlink_rcv+0x18/0x28 netlink_unicast+0x254/0x3f0 netlink_sendmsg+0x2e0/0x3d4 Problem 2: Dangling sysfs symlinks console:/ # ls -l /sys/class/net/ncm0 lrwxrwxrwx ... /sys/class/net/ncm0 -> /sys/devices/platform/.../gadget.0/net/ncm0 console:/ # ls -l /sys/devices/platform/.../gadget.0/net/ncm0 ls: .../gadget.0/net/ncm0: No such file or directory Move the net_device allocation to ncm_bind() and deallocation to ncm_unbind(). This ensures the network interface exists only when the gadget function is actually bound to a configuration. To support pre-bind configuration (e.g., setting interface name or MAC address via configfs), cache user-provided options in f_ncm_opts using the gether_opts structure. Apply these cached settings to the net_device upon creation in ncm_bind(). Preserve the use-after-free fix from commit 6334b8e4553c ("usb: gadget: f_ncm: Fix UAF ncm object at re-bind after usb ep transport error"). Check opts->net in ncm_set_alt() and ncm_disable() to ensure gether_disconnect() runs only if a connection was established.
CVE-2026-23346 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-03-25 N/A
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arm64: io: Extract user memory type in ioremap_prot() The only caller of ioremap_prot() outside of the generic ioremap() implementation is generic_access_phys(), which passes a 'pgprot_t' value determined from the user mapping of the target 'pfn' being accessed by the kernel. On arm64, the 'pgprot_t' contains all of the non-address bits from the pte, including the permission controls, and so we end up returning a new user mapping from ioremap_prot() which faults when accessed from the kernel on systems with PAN: | Unable to handle kernel read from unreadable memory at virtual address ffff80008ea89000 | ... | Call trace: | __memcpy_fromio+0x80/0xf8 | generic_access_phys+0x20c/0x2b8 | __access_remote_vm+0x46c/0x5b8 | access_remote_vm+0x18/0x30 | environ_read+0x238/0x3e8 | vfs_read+0xe4/0x2b0 | ksys_read+0xcc/0x178 | __arm64_sys_read+0x4c/0x68 Extract only the memory type from the user 'pgprot_t' in ioremap_prot() and assert that we're being passed a user mapping, to protect us against any changes in future that may require additional handling. To avoid falsely flagging users of ioremap(), provide our own ioremap() macro which simply wraps __ioremap_prot().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: usb: f81604: correctly anchor the urb in the read bulk callback When submitting an urb, that is using the anchor pattern, it needs to be anchored before submitting it otherwise it could be leaked if usb_kill_anchored_urbs() is called. This logic is correctly done elsewhere in the driver, except in the read bulk callback so do that here also.
CVE-2026-23348 1 Linux 1 Linux Kernel 2026-03-25 N/A
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl: Fix race of nvdimm_bus object when creating nvdimm objects Found issue during running of cxl-translate.sh unit test. Adding a 3s sleep right before the test seems to make the issue reproduce fairly consistently. The cxl_translate module has dependency on cxl_acpi and causes orphaned nvdimm objects to reprobe after cxl_acpi is removed. The nvdimm_bus object is registered by the cxl_nvb object when cxl_acpi_probe() is called. With the nvdimm_bus object missing, __nd_device_register() will trigger NULL pointer dereference when accessing the dev->parent that points to &nvdimm_bus->dev.

Take the cxl_root uport_dev lock and the cxl_nvb->dev lock in devm_cxl_add_nvdimm() before checking nvdimm_bus is valid. 4. Set cxl_nvdimm flag to CXL_NVD_F_INVALIDATED so cxl_nvdimm_probe() will exit with -EBUSY. The removal of cxl_nvdimm devices should prevent any orphaned devices from probing once the nvdimm_bus is gone. [ dj: Fixed 0-day reported kdoc issue. ] [ dj: Fix cxl_nvb reference leak on error.
