Ubuntu 20.04 LTS : Linux kernel (FIPS) vulnerabilities (USN-7795-2)

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7795-2 advisory. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in...

CVE-2026-45948

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ext4 filesystem. This vulnerability occurs in the ext4extshiftextents function, where a memory leak can happen if the function returns prematurely without releasing a previously obtained path. A local attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial...

CVE-2026-45942

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix e4b bitmap inconsistency reports A bitmap inconsistency issue was observed during stress tests under mixed huge-page workloads. Ext4 reported multiple e4b bitmap check failures like: ext4mbcomplexscangroup:2508: group...

UBUNTU-CVE-2026-45892

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: drop extent cache after doing PARTIALVALID1 zeroout When splitting an unwritten extent in the middle and converting it to initialized in ext4splitextent with the EXT4EXTMAYZEROOUT and EXT4EXTDATAVALID2 flags set, it could...

UBUNTU-CVE-2026-45858

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: don't zero the entire extent if EXT4EXTDATAPARTIALVALID1 When allocating initialized blocks from a large unwritten extent, or when splitting an unwritten extent during end I/O and converting it to initialized, there is...

CVE-2026-46094

CVE-2026-46094 affects the Linux kernel ext4 code. The vulnerability arises from a bounds check in check_xattrs() for the next xattr entry, where the code compared (void*)next >= end. This could allow next to point within sizeof(u32) bytes of end, and on the subsequent loop iteration IS_LAST_E...

CVE-2026-46046 ext4: fix missing brelse() in ext4_xattr_inode_dec_ref_all()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix missing brelse in ext4xattrinodedecrefall The commit c8e008b60492 "ext4: ignore xattrs past end" introduced a refcount leak in when blockcsum is false. ext4xattrinodedecrefall calls ext4getinodeloc to get iloc.bh, but...

CVE-2026-45942 ext4: fix e4b bitmap inconsistency reports

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix e4b bitmap inconsistency reports A bitmap inconsistency issue was observed during stress tests under mixed huge-page workloads. Ext4 reported multiple e4b bitmap check failures like: ext4mbcomplexscangroup:2508: group...

CVE-2026-45912 ext4: don't cache extent during splitting extent

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: don't cache extent during splitting extent Caching extents during the splitting process is risky, as it may result in stale extents remaining in the status tree. Moreover, in most cases, the corresponding extent block entri...
