kernel: selinux: fix overlayfs mmap() and mprotect() access checks

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SELinux security module when handling overlayfs. The existing security model for overlayfs does not properly enforce access controls for mmap and mprotect operations. This oversight could allow a local attacker to bypass intended security policies, potential...

CVE-2026-72180

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's huge memory management mm/hugememory. When a device-private Page Middle Directory PMD is downgraded, the pmdswpuffdwp bit, which indicates Userfault File Descriptor Write Protect UFFDWP, is not properly preserved. This oversight allows a local attacker to...

CVE-2026-72180

CVE-2026-72180 affects the Linux kernel’s huge memory handling (mm/huge_memory). The root cause is that during device-private PMD downgrade, the pmd_swp_uffd_wp flag can be lost when the swap entry is rewritten, allowing a plain mprotect() on a UFFD_WP-marked device-private THP to strip the flag ...

CVE-2026-68445

CVE-2026-68445 (Linux kernel, drm/vc4) fixes a local breach where a validated shader BO could be mapped read-only and then upgraded to writable via mprotect(), bypassing the validator. The issue stems from vc4_gem_object_mmap() leaving VM_MAYWRITE set on the read-only path, allowing userspace to ...
