The vulnerabilities in the net/bluetooth/eir.c and net/bluetooth/mgmt.c modules of Linux kernel allow a hacker to cause a service failure.

The vulnerability in the net/bluetooth/eir.c and net/bluetooth/mgmt.c modules of Linux kernel systems relates to the execution of operations beyond the buffer boundaries in memory. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to cause a system failure...

kernel: rtmutex: Use waiter::task instead of current in remove_waiter()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. When the kernel's real-time mutex rtmutex component performs a specific operation called 'proxy-lock rollback' during futex requeue, it incorrectly handles task pointers. This can lead to a 'Use-After-Free' UAF vulnerability, where the system attempts to use...

kernel: futex/requeue: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in remove_waiter() on self-deadlock

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's futex Fast Userspace Mutex requeue mechanism. When a non-top waiter attempts to requeue a Priority Inheritance PI futex it already owns, a NULL pointer dereference can occur. This issue, specifically within the removewaiter function during a self-deadlock...

kernel: netfilter: nf_conntrack_helper: pass helper to expect cleanup

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter subsystem, specifically within the nfconntrackhelper. When a connection tracking helper is unregistered, its associated expectations are not properly cleaned up. This oversight can lead to a use-after-free vulnerability, where the system attempts t...

kernel: nvmet-tcp: fix race between ICReq handling and queue teardown

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NVMe over TCP nvmet-tcp implementation. A race condition exists between the handling of an Initialization Connection Request ICReq and the teardown of a queue. A remote attacker, by sending an ICReq and immediately closing the connection, could trigger a...

kernel: net: sched: act_csum: validate nested VLAN headers

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's network scheduler component. A remote attacker could send specially crafted network packets containing nested Virtual Local Area Network VLAN headers. This could cause the kernel to read beyond allocated memory, leading to a system crash and a denial of...

kernel: smb: client: fix OOB reads parsing symlink error response

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Server Message Block SMB client. A remote, untrusted server could send a specially crafted symlink error response, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. This could result in the disclosure of sensitive information from the kernel's memory to a loca...

USN-8547-1 linux-gcp-5.15, linux-intel-iotg-5.15 vulnerabilities

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - RISC-V architecture; - Cryptographic API; - InfiniBand drivers; - IOMMU subsystem; - Network drivers; -...

USN-8545-1 linux-hwe-6.17 vulnerabilities

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - ARM64 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - DMA engine subsystem; - InfiniBand drivers; -...

Important: Red Hat Security Advisory: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update

An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System CVSS base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from t...

kernel: crypto: ccp - copy IV using skcipher ivsize

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's cryptographic coprocessor CCP driver. When processing AFALG rfc3686-ctr-aes-ccp requests, the ccpaescomplete function attempts to restore more data than the allocated buffer for the Initialization Vector IV can hold. This leads to a buffer overrun, which can...

CVE-2026-57973

CVE-2026-57973 describes a Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) kernel. The issue allows an authorized attacker to perform local tampering. Affected component is the WSL2 kernel; impact per sources is local, with confidentiality and integrity aff...
