CVE-2011-2707

The CVE-2011-2707 entry affects the Linux kernel's arch/xtensa/kernel/ptrace.c, where the ptrace_setxregs() function does not validate user-space pointers. This allows a local user to read kernel memory via a crafted PTRACE_SETXTREGS request, as described for Linux kernel versions before 3.1. Pub...

CVE-2023-53248

CVE-2023-53248 affects the Linux kernel DRM/AMDGPU subsystem. The fix installs a stub fence into potentially unused page-table update fences instead of NULL to avoid NULL dereferences when dma_fence_wait() is called on those pointers during CPU-based page-table updates. This targets the scenario ...

In CVE-2024-46799, the Linux kernel driver net: ethernet: ti: am65-cpsw had a NULL pointer dereference when XDP_TX was used with TX queues configured to 1. The issue occurs during XDP_TX and manifests as a kernel NULL pointer dereference, as shown by the log entry. The publicly provided fix repla...

CVE-2024-57905

In CVE-2024-57905, Linux kernel iio: adc: ti-ads1119 is fixed: the scan path pushed data from a triggered buffer used a local struct with an uninitialized hole between sample and timestamp, risking information leakage to userspace. The fix initializes the scan struct to zero before use to avoid p...

CVE-2025-21840

CVE-2025-21840 affects the Linux kernel thermal netlink interface. The intel-lpmd tool segfaults because THERMAL_GENL_ATTR_CPU_CAPABILITY’s raw value changed in a commit, while intel_lpmd still used the old value. The documented fix moves THERMAL_GENL_ATTR_TZ_PREV_TEMP to the end of enum thermal_...

CVE-2025-21897

CVE-2025-21897: Linux kernel sched_ext vulnerability where pick_task_scx() could return non-queued tasks if balance() wasn’t called.

The fix introduces subtree depth trackin...

CVE-2025-38666

CVE-2025-38666 is a Linux kernel vulnerability in the Appletalk AARP proxy path. The issue is a use-after-free caused by a race: the aarp_proxy_network path releases aarp_lock, sleeps, re-acquires it, while a concurrent __aarp_expire_timer may remove and free the same aarp_entry, leading to a UAF...

CVE-2025-39744

The CVE-2025-39744 issue affects the Linux kernel and describes a deadlock in rcu_read_unlock() when called during irq_exit() if an IPI is issued.

CVE-2026-53399

The CVE-2026-53399 issue affects the Linux kernel NFS server (nfsd) where nfs4_alloc_stid() publishes a new stid into cl_stateids with idr_alloc_cyclic under cl_lock, and if nfsd4_layout_setlease() fails, the teardown path frees the layout stateid directly via kmem_cache_free() without idr_remove...

CVE-2026-63795

CVE-2026-63795 affects the Linux kernel 9p client implementation. The issue occurs when p9_client_walk() is called with clone=false and the fid aliases oldfid; if the walk fails after a request is sent, the error path may clunk the fid and destroy oldfid even when the caller still owns it, causin...

CVE-2004-0075

The CVE-2004-0075 issue affects the Linux kernel's Vicam USB driver prior to 2.4.25.
