CVE-2026-80719

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Multi-Generational Least Recently Used MGLRU page table walker. When memory cgroup memcg reparenting occurs concurrently with page table walks, stale batch updates can lead to an underestimation of the number of pages. This can prevent the kernel from...

CVE-2026-80633

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's iommufd component. A local user could trigger a kernel warning by releasing the last reference on a Direct Memory Access Buffer DMABUF-backed IOMMU page table without holding the necessary dmaresv lock. This missing lock operation can lead to system...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm: mglru: fix stale batch updates after memcg reparenting The mglru page table walker batches per-generation size deltas in walk-nrpages while walking page tables without holding the lruvec lock. The resetbatchsize later folds...

CVE-2026-80719

CVE-2026-80719 affects the MGLRU (multi-gen LRU) memory management subsystem in the Linux kernel . A race condition exists between the mglru page table walker, which batches per-generation size deltas without holding the lruvec lock, and the memcg reparenting path. This can cause stale batch upda...
