AZL-104751 CVE-2026-97989 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vduse: validate virtqueue alignment vdusevalidateconfig only checks the upper bound of vqalign. Invalid values can therefore reach vringcreatevirtqueuemap. The split-ring helpers use align - 1 as a bit mask, so the alignment must...

CVE-2026-98156

The Linux kernel contains a vulnerability in the drm/virtio component when running on Xen . The root cause is that virtio-gpu independently determines whether to use the DMA API based solely on a feature bit. Because QEMU does not set iommu_platform on virtio-vga by default, the system fails to n...

CVE-2026-97996

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio: fix use-after-free in unregistervirtiodevice deviceunregister is devicedel plus putdevice. When the caller holds no extra reference, that drops the last one and runs the release callback, which for several transports free...

CVE-2026-97996 virtio: fix use-after-free in unregister_virtio_device()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio: fix use-after-free in unregistervirtiodevice deviceunregister is devicedel plus putdevice. When the caller holds no extra reference, that drops the last one and runs the release callback, which for several transports free...

CVE-2026-97996

A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel within the unregister_virtio_device() function. The issue occurs because device_unregister() drops the last reference to the device, triggering a release callback that frees the memory containing the virtio_device struct for certain transp...

CVE-2026-97989 vduse: validate virtqueue alignment

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vduse: validate virtqueue alignment vdusevalidateconfig only checks the upper bound of vqalign. Invalid values can therefore reach vringcreatevirtqueuemap. The split-ring helpers use align - 1 as a bit mask, so the alignment must...

CVE-2026-97989

The Linux kernel contains a vulnerability in vduse where vduse_validate_config() fails to properly validate the vq_align parameter, checking only the upper bound. This allows invalid values to reach vring_create_virtqueue_map(). Specifically, because split-ring helpers use align - 1 as a bit mask...

kernel: drm/virtio: use uninterruptible resv lock for plane updates

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's VirtIO GPU Graphics Processing Unit driver. The virtiogpucursorplaneupdate and virtiogpuresourceflush functions fail to properly acquire a required lock, which can lead to a race condition. A local user could exploit this vulnerability by triggering a memory...
