CVE-2026-53247

CVE-2026-53247: Linux kernel MTK ethernet driver (mtk_eth_soc) fix for use-after-free in metadata_dst teardown. mtk_free_dev() previously called metadata_dst_free() (kfree’d immediately, bypassing RCU). In RX, skb_dst_set_noref() kept non-refcounted pointers to metadata_dst; freed memory could ra...

CVE-2026-53157

The CVE-2026-53157 issue affects the Linux kernel’s phonet code: phonet_device is removed from the per-net device list with list_del_rcu(), but freed immediately, creating a use-after-free for readers that still hold pointers. The root cause is mismatched lifetime management; the fix switches to ...

CVE-2026-45959

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: ccp - Fix a crash due to incorrect cleanup usage of kfree Annotating a local pointer variable, which will be assigned with the kmalloc-family functions, with the cleanupkfree attribute will make the address of the local...

CVE-2026-43104

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/vc4: Fix a memory leak in hang state error path When vc4savehangstate encounters an early return condition, it returns without freeing the previously allocated kernelstate, leaking memory. Add the missing kfree calls by...

Vulnerabilities of the kfree(), ucsi_resume_work(), and ucsi_unregister() functions in the Linux operating system, allowing a hacker to cause a service failure

The vulnerability of the kfree, ucsiresumework, and ucsiunregister functions in the Linux operating system is related to the assignment of pointers. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to cause a service failure...

kernel: block: floppy: privilege escalation via FDRAWCMD floppy ioctl command

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's floppy driver handled user space provided data in certain error code paths while processing FDRAWCMD IOCTL commands. A local user with write access to /dev/fdX could use this flaw to free using the kfree function arbitrary kernel memory. CVE-2014-173...
