CVE-2026-64040 cachefiles: Fix error return when vfs_mkdir() fails

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cachefiles: Fix error return when vfsmkdir fails When vfsmkdir fails, the error code is not extracted from the returned error pointer. This causes mkdirerror to be reached with ret=0, which leads to returning ERRPTR0 NULL instead...

CVE-2026-53291

CVE-2026-53291 affects the Linux kernel ALSA hda/conexant driver. The root cause is the ignored return value from snd_hda_jack_detect_enable_callback() in cx_probe(); if the call fails, an error pointer is returned and not checked, potentially leading to a crash when jack events are handled. The ...

CVE-2026-53028

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's USB Type-C subsystem. This vulnerability occurs when an error pointer for tps-partner is checked but not handled, leading to its subsequent dereference. This unhandled error can cause a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service DoS for the affected syst...

CVE-2026-53093

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Broadcom FullMAC wireless driver brcmfmac. The brcmfchipaddcore function does not properly check for error pointers, leading to a dereference of a possible error pointer. This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to cause a system crash, resulting in a...
