HIGH Linux CVE published 2026-09-11

CVE-2026-80954

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's i3c subsystem allows for an unlocked dereference of dev->desc in the i3c_device_get_supported_xfer_mode() function. This could potentially lead to a crash or other undefined behavior. The issue arises from the function's failure to hold the bus->lock when accessing dev->desc, which is necessary for safe dereferencing. This vulnerability impacts the stability and secur [truncated]

CVE-2026-80951

A Linux kernel vulnerability allows for an out-of-bounds write in the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I3C) subsystem. The `svc_i3c_master_handle_ibi` function does not properly bound the IBI payload to the requested `max_payload_len`, leading to a potential buffer overflow. This issue can be triggered when a device sends more bytes than the slot holds, causing an out-of-bounds write into the IBI pool. Linux ker [truncated]

CVE-2026-80945

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's crypto: iaa component has been resolved. On a hardware analytics error, decompress retries through the software fallback, which writes req->dst with the CPU while it is still mapped DMA_FROM_DEVICE. With SWIOTLB active, the later dma_unmap_sg() copies the stale bounce buffer over req->dst, corrupting the result. Unmap before the fallback runs.

HIGH Linux CVE published 2026-09-11

CVE-2026-80944

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's mwifiex driver can lead to stack corruption when a synchronous command's wait is interrupted, allowing a late firmware response to write to a stale stack address. This occurs because the driver keeps the caller-provided data buffer in cmd_node->data_buf, and several callers pass stack-allocated objects there. If wait_event_interruptible_timeout() is interrupted, the c [truncated]
