CVE-2026-118593 Kernel: local_bh imbalance in seg6_input_core() drop path (incomplete fix for cve-2026-46099)

A flaw was found in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 kernel builds. An incomplete backport of the CVE-2026-46099 fix in RHEL 9.6 through 9.10 left a localbh imbalance in seg6inputcore, where the drop path returns with bottom halves still disabled. This can lead to softirq starvation and denial of servi...

kernel: crypto: af_alg - Cap AEAD AD length to 0x80000000

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's afalg cryptography module. This vulnerability involves an arithmetic overflow when processing associated data lengths during the transmit buffer size check. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw by providing a specially crafted associated data length,...

kernel: blk-cgroup: fix UAF in __blkcg_rstat_flush()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's block input/output control group blk-cgroup component. This vulnerability, a Use-After-Free UAF, occurs when multiple block control groups are released at the same time. A race condition allows one group to remove another's entries while it is still in use,...

kernel: ipv6: exthdrs: refresh nh after handling HAO option

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IPv6 extension header processing. When processing the Home Address Option HAO, the cached network header pointer may become invalid if the packet's memory is reallocated. This can lead to incorrect parsing of subsequent IPv6 Type-Length-Value TLV options,...

kernel: sctp: validate cached peer INIT chunk length in COOKIE_ECHO processing

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol SCTP implementation. A remote attacker could exploit this by sending a specially crafted COOKIEECHO chunk to a listening SCTP server. The server's failure to properly validate the length of a cached peer INIT chunk within...

kernel: ipv6: exthdrs: refresh nh pointer after ipv6_hop_jumbo()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of IPv6 extended headers. Specifically, the ipv6hopjumbo function, which processes jumbo payloads, can modify internal packet buffer skb pointers. However, the network header nh pointer is not recomputed after these modifications. This oversight cou...

kernel: blk-mq: pop cached request if it is usable

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's blk-mq component. This use-after-free vulnerability occurs when a task attempts to submit a bio a data structure for I/O operations to blk-mq. If the task is interrupted and sleeps after checking for a cached request but before using it, the cached request c...

kernel: ipv6: fix use-after-free in ip6_finish_output2()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IPv6 networking stack. A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the ip6finishoutput2 function, where a cached pointer to the IPv6 destination address can become stale after memory reallocation. An attacker could potentially exploit this to leak sensitive...

kernel: Bluetooth: MGMT: validate LTK enc_size on load

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth management MGMT component. An attacker could exploit a vulnerability in how Long Term Keys LTK are loaded. By providing an oversized encryption size, a stack buffer overflow can occur, potentially leading to a denial of service...

kernel: scsi: target: configfs: Bound snprintf() return in tg_pt_gp_members_show()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SCSI target subsystem. This vulnerability, a buffer overflow, occurs in the tgptgpmembersshow function when processing long iSCSI IQN names. An attacker could potentially exploit this by providing a specially crafted input, leading to the disclosure of...

kernel: ipv6: rpl: fix hdrlen overflow in ipv6_rpl_srh_decompress()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low-Power and Lossy Networks RPL segment routing header SRH decompression function, ipv6rplsrhdecompress. An integer overflow occurs when processing a specially crafted IPv6 packet, causing the header length calculation to truncate...

kernel: selinux: check connect-related permissions on TCP Fast Open

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Security-Enhanced Linux SELinux module. When using TCP Fast Open, SELinux failed to properly check connect-related permissions. This oversight could allow a local attacker to bypass SELinux network access controls, potentially enabling unauthorized network...

kernel: crypto: pcrypt - Fix handling of MAY_BACKLOG requests

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's pcrypt component. This vulnerability involves how the system handles certain requests, specifically MAYBACKLOG requests, which can indicate a temporary busy state. If not properly managed, the system's processing of these requests could lead to resource...

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

An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 Update Services for SAP Solutions. 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...

kernel: netfilter: nfnetlink_cthelper: fix OOB read in nfnl_cthelper_dump_table()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's nfnetlinkcthelper component. This vulnerability, an out-of-bounds read, occurs in the nfnlcthelperdumptable function when a network connection tracking helper is removed during a dump operation, leading to a bypassed bounds check. A local attacker could...

kernel: sctp: validate embedded INIT chunk and address list lengths in cookie

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol SCTP implementation. Specifically, improper validation of embedded INIT chunk and address list lengths in SCTP cookies could allow a remote attacker to trigger out-of-bounds reads. This could lead to information disclosur...

kernel: dm-verity: fix buffer overflow in FEC calculation

A flaw was found in the dm-verity component of the Linux kernel. A buffer overflow occurs during Forward Error Correction FEC calculation, allowing an attacker to write past the end of an allocated buffer. This out-of-bounds write can corrupt the syndrome buffer, potentially leading to system...

kernel: vxlan: do not reuse cached ip_hdr() value after skb_tunnel_check_pmtu()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Virtual Extensible LAN VXLAN module. This vulnerability occurs because a cached IP header pointer is improperly reused after a Path Maximum Transmission Unit PMTU check. When the packet's head is modified during the PMTU check, the old cached IP header point...
