In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe: always keep track of remap prev/next During 3D workload, user is reporting hitting: [ 413.361679] WARNING: drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_vm.c:1217 at vm_bind_ioctl_ops_unwind+0x1e2/0x2e0 [xe], CPU#7: vkd3d_queue/9925 [ 413.361944] CPU: 7 UID: 1000 PID: 9925 Comm: vkd3d_queue Kdump: loaded Not tainted 7.0.0-070000rc3-generic #202603090038 PREEMPT(lazy) [ 413.361949] RIP: 0010:vm_bind_ioctl_ops_unwind+0x1e2/0x2e0 [xe] [ 413.362074] RSP: 0018:ffffd4c25c3df930 EFLAGS: 00010282 [ 413.362077] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff8f3ee817ed10 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 413.362078] RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000000000000 [ 413.362079] RBP: ffffd4c25c3df980 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 413.362081] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff8f41fbf99380 [ 413.362082] R13: ffff8f3ee817e968 R14: 00000000ffffffef R15: ffff8f43d00bd380 [ 413.362083] FS: 00000001040ff6c0(0000) GS:ffff8f4696d89000(0000) knlGS:00000000330b0000 [ 413.362085] CS: 0010 DS: 002b ES: 002b CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 413.362086] CR2: 00007ddfc4747000 CR3: 00000002e6262005 CR4: 0000000000f72ef0 [ 413.362088] PKRU: 55555554 [ 413.362089] Call Trace: [ 413.362092] <TASK> [ 413.362096] xe_vm_bind_ioctl+0xa9a/0xc60 [xe] Which seems to hint that the vma we are re-inserting for the ops unwind is either invalid or overlapping with something already inserted in the vm. It shouldn't be invalid since this is a re-insertion, so must have worked before. Leaving the likely culprit as something already placed where we want to insert the vma. Following from that, for the case where we do something like a rebind in the middle of a vma, and one or both mapped ends are already compatible, we skip doing the rebind of those vma and set next/prev to NULL. As well as then adjust the original unmap va range, to avoid unmapping the ends. However, if we trigger the unwind path, we end up with three va, with the two ends never being removed and the original va range in the middle still being the shrunken size. If this occurs, one failure mode is when another unwind op needs to interact with that range, which can happen with a vector of binds. For example, if we need to re-insert something in place of the original va. In this case the va is still the shrunken version, so when removing it and then doing a re-insert it can overlap with the ends, which were never removed, triggering a warning like above, plus leaving the vm in a bad state. With that, we need two things here: 1) Stop nuking the prev/next tracking for the skip cases. Instead relying on checking for skip prev/next, where needed. That way on the unwind path, we now correctly remove both ends. 2) Undo the unmap va shrinkage, on the unwind path. With the two ends now removed the unmap va should expand back to the original size again, before re-insertion. v2: - Update the explanation in the commit message, based on an actual IGT of triggering this issue, rather than conjecture. - Also undo the unmap shrinkage, for the skip case. With the two ends now removed, the original unmap va range should expand back to the original range. v3: - Track the old start/range separately. vma_size/start() uses the va info directly.

  1. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86/mmu: Check write tracking in all address spaces kvm_gfn_is_write_tracked() checks only the supplied memslot, but page tracking is per-address-space and shadow pages are shared across all address spaces. With SMM, a GFN can therefore be write-tracked in one address space and appear untracked through the other. Check the supplied slot first, then the slot for the other address space. This ensures all callers honor write tracking regardless of the active address space. In particular, it prevents mmu_try_to_unsync_pages() from marking an upper-level shadow page unsync and eventually triggering the BUG in pte_list_remove(). [invert direction of the conditional. - Paolo]•CVE-2026-98164
  2. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cgroup: Avoid iteration of dying tasks with zero refcount The commit 260fbcb92bbea ("cgroup: Move dying_tasks cleanup from cgroup_task_release() to cgroup_task_free()") extended the lifetime of tasks on the dying_tasks list. The iterators have provision to go through dying_tasks because of dying threadgroup leaders or explicit CSS_TASK_ITER_WITH_DEAD, however, it was expected that such tasks can obtain a new reference (that is possible before cgroup_task_release()/put_task_struct_rcu_user()). The tasks after cgroup_task_release() and before cgroup_task_free() are subject to race when they may or may not have ->usage count > 0. The race window is between css_task_iter_next() invocations when css_set_lock is released and we may arrive at a new ->task_pos. The iterator should not attempt to resurrect tasks whose ->usage count dropped to zero. (When that happens, __put_task_struct_rcu_cb() is already imminent and the returned task_struct would could be used after free.) As for the fix, we cannot simply check the signal->live count of a task on the dying list because that won't distinguish regular zombies waiting to be reaped from RCU remnant tasks that are going to be free'd. Therefore add an extra check to rule out ->usage==0 tasks from any iteration. The repeat: loop in css_task_iter_advance() doesn't consider ->usage count, so add a new loop to css_task_iter_next() to skip de-used tasks on the dying_list.

  4. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvdimm: pmem: keep PREFLUSH before data writes pmem_submit_bio() records a REQ_PREFLUSH error, but continues to copy the bio data and can later overwrite the error with a successful REQ_FUA flush. That lets data writes run after a failed preflush and can complete the bio successfully despite the failed ordering barrier. Run the REQ_PREFLUSH flush synchronously before touching the bio data and complete the bio with the flush error if it fails. Keep asynchronous flush chaining for REQ_FUA. At that point, data copy has completed and the parent bio can wait for the chained flush bio.•CVE-2026-98161
  5. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: rtl8723bs: fix mismatched free of HalData in rtw_sdio_if1_init() padapter->HalData is allocated via vzalloc(), but incorrectly freed using kfree() in the rtw_sdio_if1_init() error path. Using kfree() to release this vmalloc-backed buffer can lead to memory corruption. Use rtw_hal_data_deinit() to pair the free correctly and free HalData with vfree(). The bug was first flagged by an experimental static analysis tool we are developing for kernel memory-management bugs. Manual inspection confirms that the issue is still present in current mainline. An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have suitable RTL8723BS SDIO hardware to test with, no runtime testing was able to be performed.•CVE-2026-98160
