CVE-2026-64520

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ARM Firmware Framework for ARM FFA. The PARTITIONINFOGETREGS function, which handles copying partition descriptors, did not adequately validate the indices provided by the firmware. This oversight could allow the system to process inconsistent data, resultin...

USN-8620-2 linux-azure-fips vulnerabilities

Maxim Suhanov discovered that the NTFS file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate file name length in certain situations, leading to an out-of-bounds read. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious NTFS image that, when mounted and operated on, could expose...

kernel: Arm Processors: Privilege escalation or information disclosure via writes to higher exception level resources

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel on ARM processors. A race condition in Translation Lookaside Buffer Invalidation TLBI operations during memory permission changes allows a local attacker to write to memory resources owned by higher privilege levels. This could allow an unprivileged local...

grant-table: version change racing with other operations

ISSUE DESCRIPTION With the introduction of Grant Table v2 came the requirement to be able to switch between versions. Switching from v1 to v2 reduces the number of valid grant references, as a bigger shared entry structure is then needed while the shared table doesn't change size. Switching from ...

USN-8595-3 linux-aws-6.8, linux-aws-fips vulnerabilities

It was discovered that some AMD processors did not properly clear data in the floating point divider unit during speculative execution. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. CVE-2025-54505 It was discovered that some AMD Zen 2 processors did not properly isolate shared...

USN-8574-3: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

USN-8618-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

It was discovered that some AMD Zen 2 processors did not properly isolate shared resources in the operation cache. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to corrupt instructions executed at a higher privilege level, resulting in privilege escalation. CVE-2025-54518 Several security issues...
