HIGH Linux CVE published 2026-09-17

CVE-2026-90071

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's sch_teql (Equal Queue Length) network scheduler. When a slave device's transmit function fails, the skb->dev pointer is not restored, leading to a potential use-after-free error when the skb is later processed. This issue can cause a denial-of-service (DoS) or potentially allow for code execution.

HIGH Linux CVE published 2026-09-17

CVE-2026-90059

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's stmmac network driver can cause a kernel panic on certain architectures when receiving an ICMP echo request due to IP header misalignment. The issue arises from the RX DMA offset not accounting for NET_IP_ALIGN after the conversion to zero-copy RX path. This misalignment can lead to an unhandled fault and subsequently a fatal exception in interrupt.

HIGH Linux CVE published 2026-09-17

CVE-2026-90057

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's slip component has been addressed. The vulnerability occurs when the `slip_hangup` function is called concurrently with reader functions, leading to a potential crash or code execution. This issue was reported by Jaeyoung Chung and Eulgyu Kim. The vulnerability has been resolved by removing `slip_hangup` to ensure teardown is serialized cleanly by `slip [truncated]

HIGH Linux CVE published 2026-09-17

CVE-2026-90052

A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's dm-integrity module. This issue occurs when computing checksums for discarded blocks, potentially leading to a buffer overflow if the tag size is smaller than the digest size. The vulnerability arises from the integrity_metadata computing a checksum for every discarded block into the 'checksums' buffer. Specifically, integrity_sector_checksum [truncated]

The patch was applied to prevent potential security breaches and ensure the integrity of Linux kernel sy [truncated]

HIGH Linux CVE published 2026-09-16

CVE-2026-90045

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's USB gadget function ffs. The io_data stores a pointer to the submitting task's mm_struct without holding a reference to it while async requests are pending. This can result in a use-after-free if the task exits before completion handling finishes. The vulnerability can lead to a crash or potential code execution if exploited. Linux kernel develop [truncated]

HIGH Linux CVE published 2026-09-16

CVE-2026-90044

A Use-After-Free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's USB gadget function f_fs can lead to a race condition in AIO error paths. This issue arises when ffs_epfile_io() fails with an error other than -EIOCBQUEUED, causing the io_data structure to be freed. However, if a concurrent cancel operation executes after ffs_epfile_io() fails but before the function frees the io_data, a Use-After-Free can occur when [truncated]

CRITICAL Linux CVE published 2026-09-16

CVE-2026-90042

A critical vulnerability was resolved in the Linux kernel, specifically in the ceph filesystem, where filenames in vmalloc() buffers were not properly decrypted, leading to potential system crashes, particularly on non-x86 platforms. This issue arises from the fscrypt subsystem's requirement that buffers must be in the linear mapping region, but the messenger client uses kvmalloc() to create buffers that [truncated]

CVE-2026-90037

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's NFSD allows a client to access freed memory, potentially leading to a crash or other unexpected behavior. The vulnerability is caused by a race condition between the laundromat reaping timed-out entries and a concurrent force_expire_client() call, which can free the client. To address this issue, it is recommended to pin the client with cl_rpc_users bef [truncated]

CVE-2026-90036

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's NFSD (Network File System Daemon) has been addressed, which could lead to a use-after-free condition when handling blocked locks. This issue arises because a lock owner, with its sole remaining reference being a blocked lock on nn->blocked_locks_lru, holds a raw pointer to its nfs4_client. However, this reference does not keep the client alive. When the per-net laundr [truncated]

CVE-2026-89859

A Linux kernel vulnerability allows for information leaks due to uninitialized data in the qla2xxx SCSI driver. This issue arises from the qla2x00_do_dport_diagnostics function allocating memory with kmalloc_obj, which does not zero the memory. As a result, when the function copies data back to user space, uninitialized portions of the memory are exposed, potentially leaking sensitive kernel heap information.

HIGH Linux CVE published 2026-09-16

CVE-2026-89840

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's f2fs filesystem implementation allows for an out-of-bounds write when handling the MOVE_RANGE ioctl. This occurs because the destination size is not validated before updating the inode size. An attacker can exploit this by causing a hole in the source range, which can lead to unintended inode size extensions. The vulnerability affects Linux kernel-based systems, poten [truncated]

CVE-2026-89798

A race condition vulnerability in the Linux kernel's rpcrdma module allows for a NULL pointer dereference. The vulnerability is caused by the rpcrdma_rn_register() function inserting a notification object into the rd_xa xarray before storing the caller's callback in rn->rn_done. This can lead to a device removal racing a fresh registration, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference.

CVE-2026-89796

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's DAMON (Data Access Monitoring) feature can cause an infinite loop in the kdamond_merge_regions() function. This issue is unlikely to occur in real-world scenarios, as it requires an unrealistically large number of uncontiguous regions setup and large aggregation intervals compared to the sampling interval. However, the consequence is severe, and the fix is simple.
