CVE-2026-68126

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's mac802154 subsystem. The mac802154_scan_worker() function captures a scanning sub-interface under RCU and then keeps dereferencing the netdev after rcu_read_unlock() and outside the rtnl. A concurrent DEL_INTERFACE or PHY removal can unregister the interface once the worker drops the rtnl between its two drv_set_channel() sections, leading to [truncated]

CVE-2026-68122

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved, which could lead to a peer refcount leak in TCP error paths. The issue arises when the TCP RX or TX error path calls ovpn_peer_hold() followed by schedule_work(&peer->tcp.defer_del_work), and the work item is already pending from the other path. This issue was resolved in the Linux kernel. Evidence is limited to CVE and NVD details. Defenders should v [truncated]

HIGH Linux CVE published 2026-08-10

CVE-2026-68121

The Linux kernel has a vulnerability in the PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) implementation. When sending a PPPoE message, the code saves a pointer to the PPPoE header before calling the device header callback function dev_hard_header(). However, this callback can reallocate the skb (socket buffer) head, invalidating the saved pointer. This can lead to writing six bytes through the stale poin [truncated]

CVE-2026-68118

The Linux kernel vulnerability CVE-2026-68118 relates to the handling of TCP challenge ACK for non-exact RST in the SYN-RECEIVED state. This vulnerability allows a non-exact RST to remove the request socket instead of eliciting a challenge ACK, contrary to RFC 9293 section 3.10.7.4. The issue has been resolved by applying the RFC 5961 reset check to ensure that non-exact in-window RST triggers a challenge [truncated]

CRITICAL Linux CVE published 2026-08-10

CVE-2026-68117

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's TIPC (Transparent Inter-Process Communication) subsystem. When creating a new TIPC socket, if the insertion of the socket into the socket hash table fails, the socket's sk pointer is not cleared, leading to a use-after-free error when the socket is released. This vulnerability can cause a crash or potentially allow an attacker to execute arbit [truncated]

CVE-2026-68097

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved, related to the ksmbd module's handling of ACE (Access Control Entry) sizes in relation to SID (Security Identifier) sub-authorities. The current implementation does not properly validate the ACE size against the number of sub-authorities in the SID, which could lead to the copying of undersized ACEs. This might cause the POSIX ACL (Access Control List [truncated]

CVE-2026-68096

A deadlock occurs in the audit subsystem when duplicating executable-related rules. The issue arises when a file is moved, triggering an fsnotify_move event. If an existing executable audit rule matches the file being moved, the audit subsystem calls audit_dupe_exe() to duplicate the watch and update the rule. This leads to a recursive locking deadlock.

CVE-2026-68094

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's sched_ext component. The issue arises from the improper preservation of rq tracking across local DSQ dispatch, potentially leading to a lockdep assertion. The problem occurs when dispatch_to_local_dsq() runs from scx_bpf_dsq_move_to_local() while ops.dispatch() has recorded the current rq. This can cause a lock switch, triggering a lockdep assertion when res [truncated]
