CVE-2026-74499

A Linux kernel vulnerability was resolved, affecting the ALSA usb-audio component. The vulnerability, discovered by XBOW and triaged by Baul Lee, could allow an attacker to trigger a heap out-of-bounds write when writing to a /dev/snd/midiC*D* node, given a USB device with a small bulk-OUT endpoint. This issue arises from the snd_usbmidi_akai_output() function not properly handling a small device-advertis [truncated]

CVE-2026-74496

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's fou_create() function. When adding a new FOU port to the per-netns list fails, the error path frees the fou object while it is still reachable through sk_user_data, allowing a concurrent receive to dereference the freed object. This issue can occur when local port 0 is requested, as fou_cfg_cmp() compares the requested port 0 and reports -EALR [truncated]

CVE-2026-74492

The Linux kernel has a vulnerability in the netfilter: ipset component. A PatchSiren debrief based on the supplied source corpus indicates that the vulnerability can lead to a stale pointer being dereferenced when the queued add is replayed on the new table. This occurs when the mtype_resize() function copies comment pointers with memcpy(), not the comment objects themselves. Linux kernel users, system ad [truncated]

CVE-2026-74490

The Linux kernel has a use-after-free vulnerability in the TIPC socket tracepoints. The tipc_poll() function calls trace_tipc_sk_poll() without holding the socket lock or sk->sk_lock.slock, allowing the poll trace path to reach tipc_list_dump() and backlog head/tail dumping while another context dequeues and frees an skb. This vulnerability can be exploited by an attacker to potentially execute arbitrary [truncated]

CVE-2026-74489

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's mac80211 module. When stopping a BA session, the `ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb` function hands `tid_tx` to `kfree_rcu` and then reads `tid_tx->ndp` after dropping `sta->lock`. This read is not covered by an RCU read-side critical section and can run in preemptible process context. Softirqs can also run in this window, allowing the RCU callback to f [truncated]

CVE-2026-74488

The Linux kernel vulnerability, CVE-2026-74488, involves a use-after-free issue in the mwifiex driver when parsing A-MSDU TDLS frames. This occurs because the wrong length is passed to mwifiex_process_tdls_action_frame(), using the A-MSDU parent length instead of the subframe length. The vulnerability can lead to use-after-free and buffer over-read issues. Linux kernel developers, mwifiex driver users, an [truncated]

CVE-2026-74486

The Linux kernel has a vulnerability that has been resolved. The binfmt_misc interpreter clone for MISC_FMT_OPEN_FILE entries in load_misc_binary() denies write access via plain deny_write_access(). However, the clone is installed as bprm->interpreter and later released by the exec machinery through exe_file_allow_write_access(), which skips the i_writecount increment for files with FMODE_FSNOTIFY_HSM set [truncated]

Review Linux CVE published 2026-08-15

CVE-2026-74485

The Linux kernel has a vulnerability in the binfmt_misc subsystem. A user can cause an out-of-bounds read by registering a specially crafted string that is not properly terminated. The vulnerability is caused by the 'check_special_flags' function not properly checking for the delimiter character, which can lead to the function reading past the end of the buffer.

Review Linux CVE published 2026-08-15

CVE-2026-74484

The Linux kernel vulnerability, CVE-2026-74484, is caused by a binfmt_misc 'F' entry pinning its own instance, leading to a denial of service (DoS). The issue arises when an entry registered with 'F' opens its interpreter at registration time and holds that file until the entry is freed. If the interpreter lives on a mount that keeps that superblock alive, the two pin each other, resulting in a file that [truncated]

CVE-2026-74481

The Linux kernel vulnerability, CVE-2026-74481, involves a Use-After-Free (UAF) issue during suspend/resume cycles, specifically affecting the page reporting process. This problem arises because the page reporting work is scheduled on the global system_wq, which lacks the WQ_FREEZABLE flag. As a result, the PM freezer skips it, leading to UAF errors when pages are freed into the buddy allocator while susp [truncated]

CRITICAL Linux CVE published 2026-08-15

CVE-2026-74476

The Linux kernel vulnerability CVE-2026-74476 was resolved by converting frag_list skbs before running XDP. A frag_list skb can reach veth with data_len set but nr_frags zero. The conversion ensures that XDP frags are only advertised when the resulting skb has frags[]. This vulnerability affects Linux kernel versions and may impact various Linux distributions. Users of these distributions should be aware [truncated]

CVE-2026-74472

The Linux kernel vulnerability CVE-2026-74472 was resolved by resetting kernel-owned dev_info fields in ublk_ctrl_add_dev(). The vulnerability allowed a device to be added with an incorrect state, causing issues with disk detachment and char device read/write paths. This issue was caused by the ublk_ctrl_add_dev() function failing to reset kernel-owned dev_info fields. Affected Linux kernel developers and [truncated]

CVE-2026-74471

The Linux kernel has a vulnerability in the tracing subsystem. The trace_module_add_events() function ignores the return value of __register_event() and unconditionally calls __add_event_to_tracers() for each event. If __register_event() fails, the trace_event_call is not added to ftrace_events list, but __add_event_to_tracers() still creates a trace_event_file pointing to it. This can lead to a use-after [truncated]

CVE-2026-74470

The Linux kernel has a vulnerability in the scsi_debug module, specifically in the REPORT ZONES command. The vulnerability occurs when the allocation length is underflowed, causing an out-of-bounds write. This has been resolved by clamping the maximum zone count to the device's nr_zones. The vulnerability can lead to a potential system crash or code execution. Linux kernel developers, administrators, and [truncated]
