Overview

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: Fix race condition in hci_cmd_sync_clear There is a potential race condition in hci_cmd_sync_work and hci_cmd_sync_clear, and could lead to use-after-free. For instance, hci_cmd_sync_work is added to the 'req_workqueue' after cancel_work_sync The entry of 'cmd_sync_work_list' may be freed in hci_cmd_sync_clear, and causing kernel panic when it is used in 'hci_cmd_sync_work'. Here's the call trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x49/0x63 print_report.cold+0x5e/0x5d3 ? hci_cmd_sync_work+0x282/0x320 kasan_report+0xaa/0x120 ? hci_cmd_sync_work+0x282/0x320 __asan_report_load8_noabort+0x14/0x20 hci_cmd_sync_work+0x282/0x320 process_one_work+0x77b/0x11c0 ? _raw_spin_lock_irq+0x8e/0xf0 worker_thread+0x544/0x1180 ? poll_idle+0x1e0/0x1e0 kthread+0x285/0x320 ? process_one_work+0x11c0/0x11c0 ? kthread_complete_and_exit+0x30/0x30 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 </TASK> Allocated by task 266: kasan_save_stack+0x26/0x50 __kasan_kmalloc+0xae/0xe0 kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0x191/0x350 hci_cmd_sync_queue+0x97/0x2b0 hci_update_passive_scan+0x176/0x1d0 le_conn_complete_evt+0x1b5/0x1a00 hci_le_conn_complete_evt+0x234/0x340 hci_le_meta_evt+0x231/0x4e0 hci_event_packet+0x4c5/0xf00 hci_rx_work+0x37d/0x880 process_one_work+0x77b/0x11c0 worker_thread+0x544/0x1180 kthread+0x285/0x320 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30 Freed by task 269: kasan_save_stack+0x26/0x50 kasan_set_track+0x25/0x40 kasan_set_free_info+0x24/0x40 ____kasan_slab_free+0x176/0x1c0 __kasan_slab_free+0x12/0x20 slab_free_freelist_hook+0x95/0x1a0 kfree+0xba/0x2f0 hci_cmd_sync_clear+0x14c/0x210 hci_unregister_dev+0xff/0x440 vhci_release+0x7b/0xf0 __fput+0x1f3/0x970 ____fput+0xe/0x20 task_work_run+0xd4/0x160 do_exit+0x8b0/0x22a0 do_group_exit+0xba/0x2a0 get_signal+0x1e4a/0x25b0 arch_do_signal_or_restart+0x93/0x1f80 exit_to_user_mode_prepare+0xf5/0x1a0 syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x26/0x50 ret_from_fork+0x15/0x30

  1. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: usb: cdc_ncm: add ndpoffset to NDP32 nframes bounds check The same bounds-check bug fixed for NDP16 in the previous patch also exists in cdc_ncm_rx_verify_ndp32(). The DPE array size is validated against the total skb length without accounting for ndpoffset, allowing out-of-bounds reads when the NDP32 is placed near the end of the NTB. Add ndpoffset to the nframes bounds check and use struct_size_t() to express the NDP-plus-DPE-array size more clearly. Compile-tested only.•CVE-2026-23447
  2. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: usb: aqc111: Do not perform PM inside suspend callback syzbot reports "task hung in rpm_resume" This is caused by aqc111_suspend calling the PM variant of its write_cmd routine. The simplified call trace looks like this: rpm_suspend() usb_suspend_both() - here udev->dev.power.runtime_status == RPM_SUSPENDING aqc111_suspend() - called for the usb device interface aqc111_write32_cmd() usb_autopm_get_interface() pm_runtime_resume_and_get() rpm_resume() - here we call rpm_resume() on our parent rpm_resume() - Here we wait for a status change that will never happen. At this point we block another task which holds rtnl_lock and locks up the whole networking stack. Fix this by replacing the write_cmd calls with their _nopm variants•CVE-2026-23446
  3. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: igc: fix page fault in XDP TX timestamps handling If an XDP application that requested TX timestamping is shutting down while the link of the interface in use is still up the following kernel splat is reported: [ 883.803618] [ T1554] BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffcfb6200fd008 ... [ 883.803650] [ T1554] Call Trace: [ 883.803652] [ T1554] <TASK> [ 883.803654] [ T1554] igc_ptp_tx_tstamp_event+0xdf/0x160 [igc] [ 883.803660] [ T1554] igc_tsync_interrupt+0x2d5/0x300 [igc] ... During shutdown of the TX ring the xsk_meta pointers are left behind, so that the IRQ handler is trying to touch them. This issue is now being fixed by cleaning up the stale xsk meta data on TX shutdown. TX timestamps on other queues remain unaffected.•CVE-2026-23445
  4. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: mac80211: always free skb on ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() failure ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() has three error paths, but only two of them free the skb. The first error path (ieee80211_tx_prepare() returning TX_DROP) does not free it, while invoke_tx_handlers() failure and the fragmentation check both do. Add kfree_skb() to the first error path so all three are consistent, and remove the now-redundant frees in callers (ath9k, mt76, mac80211_hwsim) to avoid double-free. Document the skb ownership guarantee in the function's kdoc.•CVE-2026-23444
  5. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPI: processor: Fix previous acpi_processor_errata_piix4() fix After commi f132e089fe89 ("ACPI: processor: Fix NULL-pointer dereference in acpi_processor_errata_piix4()"), device pointers may be dereferenced after dropping references to the device objects pointed to by them, which may cause a use-after-free to occur. Moreover, debug messages about enabling the errata may be printed if the errata flags corresponding to them are unset. Address all of these issues by moving message printing to the points in the code where the errata flags are set.•CVE-2026-23443
