CVE-2026-74257

The Linux kernel's sockmap feature contains a use-after-free vulnerability. The sk_msg_recvmsg() function processes sk_msg in a lockless manner, allowing multiple threads to access the same sk_msg. This can lead to use-after-free attacks. The fix involves adding lock_sock() in udp_bpf_recvmsg() to serialize sk_msg_recvmsg(). The vulnerability affects Linux kernel administrators and developers, network sec [truncated]

CVE-2026-74256

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved, involving an integer overflow in the bpf_msg_pop_data() bounds check. The addition of start and len, both u32, was evaluated in 32-bit and wrapped before storing it in last, allowing an out-of-range start/len to pass the bounds check. This could lead to a general protection fault when the pop loop runs off the end of the scatterlist.

CVE-2026-72502

The Linux kernel has a vulnerability where a large MTU can cause ip6_default_advmss() to return IPV6_MAXPLEN (65535), which is interpreted by TCP as mss_clamp, allowing the MSS to reach 65535. However, 0xFFFF is also used as a magic value GSO_BY_FRAGS in the kernel. If a TCP packet with gso_size=0xFFFF is passed to skb_segment(), it will be mistakenly treated as GSO_BY_FRAGS, leading to a NULL pointer der [truncated]

CVE-2026-72492

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's ksmbd implementation. The same_client_has_lease function returns an opinfo pointer from ci->m_op_list after dropping ci->m_lock without taking a reference. This can lead to a use-after-free when smb_grant_oplock dereferences the pointer in copy_lease and when checking breaking_cnt. The vulnerability was resolved in the Linux kernel.

CVE-2026-72486

The Linux kernel has a use-after-free vulnerability in the mailbox mtk-adsp driver. When the SOF audio driver fails to initialize, its devres unwind frees the snd_sof_dev object that the mailbox client reaches via chan->cl->rx_callback. A late interrupt can still queue a threaded handler after mbox_free_channel() had cleared chan->cl, triggering a use-after-free.

CVE-2026-72485

The CVE-2026-72485 vulnerability affects the Linux kernel, specifically in the coresight platform. It is caused by incrementing the connection counter before allocation succeeds in coresight_add_out_conn() and coresight_add_in_conn(). This can lead to a NULL or garbage entry in the array, causing a panic when coresight_release_platform_data() iterates over the entries. The vulnerability has been resolved [truncated]

CVE-2026-72484

The Linux kernel has a vulnerability in the staging: most: video module. A double free issue occurs when video_register_device() fails in comp_register_videodev(). This happens because video_device_alloc() allocates a video_device, and video_register_device() releases it if registration fails. However, if __video_register_device() fails, it calls put_device(&vdev->dev), leading to v4l2_device_release() an [truncated]

CVE-2026-72478

The Linux kernel has a vulnerability in the fs/ntfs3 module, specifically in the run_get_highest_vcn() function. This function does not perform bounds checking on a packed NTFS mapping-pairs buffer, which can lead to a slab-out-of-bounds read when a crafted $LogFile UpdateMappingPairs record is encountered. The vulnerability has been resolved by adding a bounds check to the function.

CVE-2026-72470

The Linux kernel has a vulnerability in the ntfs3 filesystem driver. When mounting a dirty NTFS volume, the log page size is adopted from the on-disk log, but the scratch buffer 'one_page_buf' is not resized accordingly. This can lead to a buffer overflow when reading log pages. The vulnerability exists due to a mismatch between the log page size recorded on disk and the size used for the initial allocati [truncated]

CVE-2026-72469

The Linux kernel vulnerability, CVE-2026-72469, relates to an ep kref imbalance on ADDR_CHANGE in the xprtrdma component. This issue arises from rpcrdma_cm_event_handler() calling rpcrdma_ep_put() without a matching get when RDMA_CM_EVENT_ADDR_CHANGE occurs before RDMA_CM_EVENT_ESTABLISHED. Consequently, the kref underflows during connect teardown, and rpcrdma_xprt_disconnect() operates on a freed ep. Use [truncated]
