Description

This security bulletin contains information about 11 vulnerabilities.


1) Use of uninitialized resource (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-71113)

CWE-ID: CWE-908 - Use of Uninitialized Resource

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to use of uninitialized resource within the rng_accept_parent() function in crypto/algif_rng.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-71147)

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the tpm2_load_cmd() function in security/keys/trusted-keys/trusted_tpm2.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23168)

CWE-ID: CWE-667 - Improper Locking

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper locking within the fprop_global_destroy() function in lib/flex_proportions.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31530)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in cxl_detach_ep() when handling concurrent endpoint detach operations and switch port removal. A local user can trigger concurrent device detach and port unregistration to cause a denial of service.

This issue is reproducible when reloading cxl_acpi in QEMU with CXL devices present.


5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46116)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in __xfrm_state_delete when deleting xfrm_state list entries during xfrm_state lifecycle handling. A local user can trigger repeated deletion of the same xfrm_state object to cause a denial of service.

The issue was reproduced under syzkaller load during network namespace cleanup in the xfrm subsystem.


6) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46150)

CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to bypass permission checks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in fsnotify_get_mark_safe() when processing fanotify permission events. A local user can trigger permission events in the presence of an unrelated detached mark to bypass permission checks.


7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46215)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition leading to use-after-free in drm change_handle when handling concurrent gem_close operations during a prime handle swap. A local user can trigger concurrent handle operations to cause a denial of service.


8) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-52976)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in xe_exec_queue_create_ioctl() when handling crafted ioctl requests that trigger error cleanup paths. A local user can trigger queue creation failures to cause a denial of service.

One affected path leaves a freed queue linked in the VM compute exec queue list in preempt fence mode, and another leaves a freed queue linked in the hardware engine group list.


9) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-52950)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in the drm/xe dma-buf import handling in xe_gem_prime_import() when processing a dma-buf attachment with the retry loop. A local user can trigger an error path that frees the backing object and then causes it to be reused to cause a denial of service.


10) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53009)

CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a double free in ice_xmit_frame_ring() and tx ring buffer cleanup when handling transmit error paths and interface shutdown. A local user can trigger transmit checksum or tso failure conditions and then bring the interface down to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because a tx_buf entry can remain marked as valid and continue to reference an skb that was already freed in the error path.


11) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53071)

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to corrupt kernel memory.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in l2cap_ecred_reconf_rsp in the L2CAP subsystem when processing a crafted L2CAP ECRED reconfiguration response from a remote BLE device. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted L2CAP ECRED reconfiguration response to corrupt kernel memory.

Exploitation requires concurrent channel list iteration by another thread.
