CVE-2026-98505

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A race condition within the Data Access Monitor DAMON subsystem allows hardware-driven page table updates to be lost during the monitoring of huge memory pages. A local user running processes monitored by DAMON can trigger concurrent memory operations,...

CVE-2026-79609 x86: XPTI may break on huge-memory systems

XPTI Xen Page Table Isolation was introduced to mitigate Meltdown CVE-2017-5754, one aspect of XSA-254. This involves copying 64-bit PV guest page table entries from guest-chosen root page tables to the Xen- chosen one which is in actual use by hardware. To read the guest root page table, the...

CVE-2026-79609

The Xen hypervisor contains a vulnerability where XPTI (Xen Page Table Isolation) may break on huge-memory systems . This occurs because PV guests use a directmap that may not cover all memory if any memory extends beyond the 5 TiB (CONFIG_BIGMEM=y: 3.5 TiB) address boundary during the copying of...

Linux kernel memory management Heap Buffer Overflow DoS

The vulnerability of the filethpenabled function in the mm/hugememory.c module of the Linux kernel’s memory management subsystem is related to the dereferencing of a pointer with an expired lifetime. Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to compromise the confidentiality, integrit...

CVE-2026-74482

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's huge memory management mm/hugememory. A race condition exists in the foliosplit function where the immaprwsem lock is released prematurely before all after-split folios are fully processed. This allows a concurrent operation to free the inode while subsequen...
