Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43074)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: 6.8 [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]
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in ep_free() in eventpoll.c when handling concurrent eventpoll operations. A local user can trigger a race condition to cause a denial of service.
2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43499)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: 6.8 [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]
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in remove_waiter() when rolling back a proxy lock from futex_requeue(). A local user can trigger the affected rtmutex slowlock and proxy-lock rollback path to cause a denial of service.
The issue can leave waiter task state uncleared and operate on the wrong top priority waiter task.
3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46242)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause memory corruption.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in ep_remove() in fs/eventpoll.c when removing epoll file references during a race with file release handling. A local user can trigger a race condition to cause memory corruption.
The issue involves the epoll-watches-epoll case and a concurrent __fput() path that can lead to operations on freed structures.
4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53166)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
CVSSv4: 6.8 [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]
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference in remove_waiter() in the futex requeue logic when handling FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PI operations that requeue a non-top waiter which already owns the target PI futex. A local user can trigger a self-deadlock condition to cause a denial of service.
5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74480)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: 6.8 [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]
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in br_multicast_leave_group() in the bridge multicast handling code when processing fast-leave operations on port groups. A local user can trigger deletion of a matching port group to cause a denial of service.
The issue can occur when multicast-to-unicast had been enabled, allowing multiple port groups for the same port and group with different source MAC addresses, and is later disabled so entries are matched by port only.
