Important: kernel security update

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fixes: kernel: KVM: x86: Don't recheck L1 intercepts when completing userspace I/O CVE-2025-40026 kernel: xfrm single-frag length not properly limited kernel: dm log: fix out-of-bounds write due to...

SUSE CVE-2026-53059

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm log: fix out-of-bounds write due to regioncount overflow The local variable regioncount in createlogcontext is declared as unsigned int 32-bit, but dmsectordivup returns sectort 64-bit. When a device-mapper target has a...

SUSE CVE-2026-53062

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm cache policy smq: fix missing locks in invalidating cache blocks In passthrough mode, the policy invalidatemapping operation is called simultaneously from multiple workers, thus it should be protected by a lock. Otherwise, we...

CVE-2026-53064

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's device-mapper dm-cache component. When dm-cache operates in passthrough mode, a race condition can occur during concurrent write operations to the same cached block. This can lead to a null-pointer dereference in the invalidatecomplete function, potentially...

CVE-2026-53063

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's device-mapper dm cache component. Incomplete logic within the invalidateremove function, which handles write operations after cache invalidation, can lead to a system hang. This occurs because the function sets up remapping for write operations but fails to...

CVE-2026-53060

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's device-mapper dm cache metadata. This memory leak vulnerability occurs when the dmcachemetadataabort function fails to acquire the root lock because the block manager is read-only, leading to the improper release of a temporary block manager. A local attacke...

SUSE CVE-2026-53064

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm cache: fix null-deref with concurrent writes in passthrough mode In passthrough mode, when dm-cache starts to invalidate a cache entry and bio prison cell lock fails due to concurrent write to the same cached block, mg-cell...

SUSE CVE-2026-53265

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm cache policy smq: check allocation under invalidate lock commit 2d1f7b65f5de "dm cache policy smq: fix missing locks in invalidating cache blocks" added mq-lock around the destructive part of smqinvalidatemapping, but left the...

CVE-2026-53062

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's device-mapper dm cache policy, specifically within the smq module. In passthrough mode, the invalidatemapping operation lacks proper locking, allowing for concurrent access. This can lead to data races, resulting in data corruption or use-after-free issues,...

CVE-2026-53061

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's device-mapper dm cache component. This vulnerability arises from an incorrect assumption that table reloads only occur after suspension, which is violated by Logical Volume Manager LVM table preloading. The dirty mapping check for passthrough mode, performed...

CVE-2026-53059

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's device-mapper log dm log component. A local attacker could exploit an integer overflow vulnerability where a 64-bit value is truncated to 32 bits, leading to undersized memory allocations. This allows for out-of-bounds writes to kernel memory during log...

CVE-2026-53265 dm cache policy smq: check allocation under invalidate lock

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm cache policy smq: check allocation under invalidate lock commit 2d1f7b65f5de "dm cache policy smq: fix missing locks in invalidating cache blocks" added mq-lock around the destructive part of smqinvalidatemapping, but left the...
