CVE-2026-74672

CVE-2026-74672 is a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel affecting both x86 and arm64 architectures. The root cause is a race condition between the ptdump page table walker and the vmap huge page table promotion logic: vmap frees lower page tables when promoting to huge leaf entries w...

CVE-2026-74591

CVE-2026-74591 is a bug in the Linux kernel 's mm/filemap subsystem, specifically in __filemap_add_folio(). In the split-a-conflict loop, repeated calls to xas_set_order() round down xas.xa_index. When a GFP_NOWAIT allocation fails and the lock is dropped for retry via xas_nomem(), a concurrent t...

PT-2026-79604

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/ptdump: always stabilise against page table freeing using init mm Previous commits have established the invariant that kernel page table freeing is performed while an mmap read lock on init mm is held, which fixes races betwee...

kernel: mm/huge_memory: update file PMD counter before folio_put()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's memory management, specifically within the huge page mechanism. When a huge page is split, the system updates a counter after releasing a reference to the memory. This timing issue can lead to the system attempting to read from memory that has already been...

CVE-2026-72027

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's memory management subsystem, specifically within the mm/compaction component. When the freepagesprepare function fails, the compactionfree function does not properly handle this error. This oversight can lead to pages that are either hardware poisoned...

CVE-2026-74576

Summary of CVE-2026-74576 (Linux kernel) : The vulnerability stems from the slab allocator allowing unbounded recursion in the free path due to cycles formed when obj_exts arrays are allocated across KMALLOC_NORMAL caches. Specifically, slabs can form a cycle by allocating each other’s obj_exts a...
