In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/slab: take n-listlock in slabtryreturnfreelist to avoid race Commit ba7425312607 "mm, slab: add an optimistic slabtryreturnfreelist" incorrectly assumed that nobody has freed an object to the slab as long as slab-freelist is...

CVE-2026-97941 mm/slab: take n->list_lock in __slab_try_return_freelist() to avoid race

CVE-2026-97941

A race condition exists in the Linux kernel memory management system within mm/slab. The __slab_try_return_freelist() function incorrectly assumed that no objects were freed to a slab if slab->freelist was NULL and cmpxchg succeeded. This oversight leads to a classic ABA problem where a slab c...

kernel: mm/slab: do not limit zeroing to orig_size when only red zoning is enabled

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's memory management subsystem. This issue occurs when the kernel's memory allocator attempts to zero out newly allocated memory, but an incorrect check prevents the full memory region from being cleared under specific configurations. This can lead to memory no...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/slab: Unbounded recursion in the free path has been prevented using a new kmalloc type. Commit 280ea9c3154b “mm/slab: Avoid allocating the slabobjext array from its own slab” prevents recursive allocation of objexts from kmall...

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...
