Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In April 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: idxd: Fix possible invalid memory access after FLR
In the case that the first Function Level Reset (FLR) concludes
correctly, but in the second FLR the scratch area for the saved
configuration cannot be allocated, it's possible for a invalid memory
access to happen.
Always set the deallocated scratch area to NULL after FLR completes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: idxd: Fix crash when the event log is disabled
If reporting errors to the event log is not supported by the hardware,
and an error that causes Function Level Reset (FLR) is received, the
driver will try to restore the event log even if it was not allocated.
Also, only try to free the event log if it was properly allocated.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: idxd: Fix memory leak when a wq is reset
idxd_wq_disable_cleanup() which is called from the reset path for a
workqueue, sets the wq type to NONE, which for other parts of the
driver mean that the wq is empty (all its resources were released).
Only set the wq type to NONE after its resources are released.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix leak of kobject name for sub-group space_info
When create_space_info_sub_group() allocates elements of
space_info->sub_group[], kobject_init_and_add() is called for each
element via btrfs_sysfs_add_space_info_type(). However, when
check_removing_space_info() frees these elements, it does not call
btrfs_sysfs_remove_space_info() on them. As a result, kobject_put() is
not called and the associated kobj->name objects are leaked.
This memory leak is reproduced by running the blktests test case
zbd/009 on kernels built with CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK. The kmemleak
feature reports the following error:
unreferenced object 0xffff888112877d40 (size 16):

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix read abandonment during retry
Under certain circumstances, all the remaining subrequests from a read
request will get abandoned during retry. The abandonment process expects
the 'subreq' variable to be set to the place to start abandonment from, but
it doesn't always have a useful value (it will be uninitialised on the
first pass through the loop and it may point to a deleted subrequest on
later passes).
Fix the first jump to "abandon:" to set subreq to the start of the first
subrequest expected to need retry (which, in this abandonment case, turned
out unexpectedly to no longer have NEED_RETRY set).
Also clear the subreq pointer after discarding superfluous retryable
subrequests to cause an oops if we do try to access it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: idxd: fix possible wrong descriptor completion in llist_abort_desc()
At the end of this function, d is the traversal cursor of flist, but the
code completes found instead. This can lead to issues such as NULL pointer
dereferences, double completion, or descriptor leaks.
Fix this by completing d instead of found in the final
list_for_each_entry_safe() loop.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix NULL pointer dereference in netfs_unbuffered_write() on retry
When a write subrequest is marked NETFS_SREQ_NEED_RETRY, the retry path
in netfs_unbuffered_write() unconditionally calls stream->prepare_write()
without checking if it is NULL.
Filesystems such as 9P do not set the prepare_write operation, so
stream->prepare_write remains NULL. When get_user_pages() fails with
-EFAULT and the subrequest is flagged for retry, this results in a NULL
pointer dereference at fs/netfs/direct_write.c:189.
Fix this by mirroring the pattern already used in write_retry.c: if
stream->prepare_write is NULL, skip renegotiation and directly reissue
the subrequest via netfs_reissue_write(), which handles iterator reset,
IN_PROGRESS flag, stats update and reissue internally.

A flaw was found in InstructLab. A local attacker could exploit a path traversal vulnerability in the chat session handler by manipulating the `logs_dir` parameter. This allows the attacker to create new directories and write files to arbitrary locations on the system, potentially leading to unauthorized data modification or disclosure.
