CVE-2026-89708

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's nfsd when handling session teardown. This issue arises because the `cl_cb_session` pointer is not properly protected, allowing it to be accessed after the session has been freed. An attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition.

CVE-2026-89698

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's nfsd has been resolved, where the nfsd_genl_rqstp structure's address fields were not properly sized for IPv6 connections, potentially leaking sensitive information. The issue arises from the structure's address fields being defined as 'struct sockaddr' (16 bytes), which is insufficient for IPv6 connections. When an IPv6 NFS client is connected, the code casts these f [truncated]

CVE-2026-89600

A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's fanotify feature has been addressed. The vulnerability occurs when the event reader sets the event state to FAN_EVENT_REPORTED and then sleeps while preparing the file descriptor. If a signal interrupts the triggering task at that point, fanotify_get_response() changes the state to FAN_EVENT_CANCELED and returns, unwinding the file_range stack frame whi [truncated]

CVE-2026-89599

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's fbdev: omapfb: panel-dsi-cm has been addressed. The issue involved the display being registered before the initialization of a mutex, potentially leading to callbacks accessing an uninitialized lock. This could result in lock-related issues if not properly handled. Defenders managing Linux kernel-based systems, especially those using omapfb: panel-dsi-cm, should verif [truncated]

CVE-2026-89597

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's fbdev: uvesafb. During the initialization process, the v86d connector callback is registered before the platform driver. If the platform_driver_register() function fails, the error is returned directly, leaving the connector callback registered. This issue has been resolved by adding cleanup before the final return when platform-driver registration fails.

CVE-2026-89589

A Linux kernel vulnerability has been resolved, involving the use of raw_spinlock_t for CXL CPER work locks to prevent deadlocks. The issue arises from the CXL CPER work registration and unregistration helpers acquiring locks with a spinlock guard, leaving local interrupts enabled, while the post paths execute in hard IRQ context and acquire the same locks with an irqsave guard. This can lead to a deadloc [truncated]

CVE-2026-89580

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's bpf subsystem allows for an out-of-bounds write when a preemptible BPF program is scheduled out between obtaining a per-CPU perf_callchain_entry buffer and consuming it. This can lead to a buffer overflow when copying the callchain entry into the caller's buffer. The issue arises from the preemptible nature of BPF programs, which can cause the program to be scheduled [truncated]

CVE-2026-89574

The Linux kernel has a vulnerability in the dm array component. A patch has been applied to validate array block headers on read. This change includes checks for a non-zero value_size, max_entries equal to calc_max_entries() for that value_size and block size, and nr_entries that fits within the block. These checks prevent potential out-of-bounds reads and ensure the integrity of the dm-array data structure.

CVE-2026-89572

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's cpufreq Apple SOC driver has been addressed. The driver did not properly clean up OPP tables from firmware on some failure paths, which could lead to resource leaks. The issue has been resolved by using the correct cpumask OPP helper and pairing it with the matching remove helper on failure paths and in the exit function.

CVE-2026-89571

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved, which could allow an attacker to send out-of-bounds bytes to a device and potentially cause a kernel oops. The issue arises from the fwctl_cmd_rpc() function, which copies user-controlled bytes into a buffer without properly checking the length. This could lead to a buffer overflow and potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2026-89569

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth RFCOMM implementation. The rfcomm_security_cfm function looks up a session on session_list and walks its DLC list without holding rfcomm_mutex, allowing for concurrent teardown and freeing of the session and DLCs by krfcommd. This can cause the callback to read a freed session list head and touch freed DLCs while updating their flags or timers.
