CVE-2026-45258

CVE-2026-45258 arises from an overflow in dsp_mmap_single() when validating an mmap() request in the FreeBSD sound(4) mmap path. The sum of user-supplied offset and length could overflow, letting a large mapping pass the check, and the offset could be narrowed from 64 to 32 bits when converted to...

CVE-2026-49417

CVE-2026-49417 is part of multiple vulnerabilities in FreeBSD's sound(4) mmap path. The FreeBSD advisories describe two memory-safety errors: (1) dsp_mmap_single() could overflow when validating mapping offset+length, allowing a mapping that extends past the audio buffer; (2) the audio buffer bac...

CVE-2026-53084

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Berkeley Packet Filter BPF subsystem. This vulnerability involves a lock ordering problem that occurs when BPF programs acquire certain locks that depend on the mmaplock. This issue could potentially lead to system instability or unexpected behavior due to...

EUVD-2026-38952

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: return VMA snapshot from taskvma iterator Holding the per-VMA lock across the BPF program body creates a lock ordering problem when helpers acquire locks that depend on mmaplock: vmlock - irwsem - mmaplock - vmlock Snapshot...

kernel: selinux: fix overlayfs mmap() and mprotect() access checks

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's SELinux security module when handling overlayfs. The existing security model for overlayfs does not properly enforce access controls for mmap and mprotect operations. This oversight could allow a local attacker to bypass intended security policies, potential...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability in Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: Fixed the issue where the mmap write lock was not released. If the mmap write lock is acquired while draining a retry fault, the mmap write lock is not released because svmrangerestorepages calls mmapreadunlock before...

Astra Linux – Vulnerabilities in Linux, Linux-5.10, Linux-5.15, Linux-6.1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwrng: core – Fix page fault deadlock on mmap-ed hwrng There is a dead-lock in the hwrng device read path. This occurs when the user reads from /dev/hwrng into memory, and at the same time, /dev/hwrng is also mapped into memory...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 6.1, and Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: BPF: Avoid holding the freezemutex during the mmap operation. We use the map-freezemutex to prevent race conditions between the mapfreeze function and memory mapping operations with writable permissions. The way we currently hand...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.10, Linux 6.1, and Linux 5.15

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/core: Early exit occurs when perfmmap fails. When perfmmap fails to allocate a buffer, it still invokes the eventmapped callback of the related event. On X86 architecture, this may increase the perfrdpmcallowed reference...

Astra Linux – Vulnerability found in Linux 5.15, Linux 5.10

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xen/privcmd: Fixed a possible warning in privcmdioctlmmapresource. Since ‘kdata.num’ is a user-controlled data, if the user attempts to allocate memory larger than MAXORDER, then kcalloc will fail. This will also generate a stack...
