Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched_ext: Read scx_root under scx_cgroup_ops_rwsem in cgroup setters
scx_group_set_{weight,idle,bandwidth}() cache scx_root before acquiring
scx_cgroup_ops_rwsem, so the pointer can be stale by the time the op runs.
If the loaded scheduler is disabled and freed (via RCU work) and another is
enabled between the naked load and the rwsem acquire, the reader sees
scx_cgroup_enabled=true (the new scheduler's) but dereferences the freed one
- UAF on SCX_HAS_OP(sch, ...) / SCX_CALL_OP(sch, ...).
scx_cgroup_enabled is toggled only under scx_cgroup_ops_rwsem write
(scx_cgroup_{init,exit}), so reading scx_root inside the rwsem read section
correlates @sch with the enabled snapshot.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb/client: fix out-of-bounds read in smb2_compound_op()
If a server sends a truncated response but a large OutputBufferLength, and
terminates the EA list early, check_wsl_eas() returns success without
validating that the entire OutputBufferLength fits within iov_len.
Then smb2_compound_op() does:
memcpy(idata->wsl.eas, data[0], size[0]);
Where size[0] is OutputBufferLength. If iov_len is smaller than size[0],
memcpy can read beyond the end of the rsp_iov allocation and leak adjacent
kernel heap memory.

LoongArch: Fix potential ADE in loongson_gpu_fixup_dma_hang()
The switch case in loongson_gpu_fixup_dma_hang() may not DC2 or DC3, and
readl(crtc_reg) will access with random address, because the "device" is
from "base+PCI_DEVICE_ID", "base" is from "pdev->devfn+1". This is wrong
when my platform inserts a discrete GPU:
lspci -tv

...
+-06.0 Loongson Technology LLC LG100 GPU
+-06.2 Loongson Technology LLC Device 7a37
...
Add a default switch case to fix the panic as below:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: oss: Fix data race at accessing runtime.oss.trigger
Currently the runtime.oss.trigger field may be accessed concurrently
without protection, which may lead to the data race. And, in this
case, it may lead to more severe problem because it's a bit field; as
writing the data, it may overwrite other bit fields as well, which
confuses the operation completely, as spotted by fuzzing.
Fix it by covering runtime.oss.trigger bit fled also with the existing
params_lock mutex in both snd_pcm_oss_get_trigger() and
snd_pcm_oss_poll().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: pm: ADD_ADDR rtx: always decrease sk refcount
When an ADD_ADDR is retransmitted, the sk is held in sk_reset_timer().
It should then be released in all cases at the end.
Some (unlikely) checks were returning directly instead of calling
sock_put() to decrease the refcount. Jump to a new 'exit' label to call
__sock_put() (which will become sock_put() in the next commit) to fix
this potential leak.
While at it, drop the '!msk' check which cannot happen because it is
never reset, and explicitly mark the remaining one as "unlikely".

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix btrfs_ioctl_space_info() slot_count TOCTOU which can lead to info-leak
btrfs_ioctl_space_info() has a TOCTOU race between two passes over the
block group RAID type lists. The first pass counts entries to determine
the allocation size, then the second pass fills the buffer. The
groups_sem rwlock is released between passes, allowing concurrent block
group removal to reduce the entry count.
When the second pass fills fewer entries than the first pass counted,
copy_to_user() copies the full alloc_size bytes including trailing
uninitialized kmalloc bytes to userspace.
Fix by copying only total_spaces entries (the actually-filled count from
the second pass) instead of alloc_size bytes, and switch to kzalloc so
any future copy size mismatch cannot leak heap data.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix missing last_unlink_trans update when removing a directory
When removing a directory we are not updating its last_unlink_trans field,
which can result in incorrect fsync behaviour in case some one fsyncs the
directory after it was removed because it's holding a file descriptor on
it.
Example scenario:
mkdir /mnt/dir1
mkdir /mnt/dir1/dir2
mkdir /mnt/dir3
sync -f /mnt
# Do some change to the directory and fsync it.
chmod 700 /mnt/dir1
xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir1
# Move dir2 out of dir1 so that dir1 becomes empty.
mv /mnt/dir1/dir2 /mnt/dir3/
open fd on /mnt/dir1
call rmdir(2) on path "/mnt/dir1"
fsync fd

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid10: fix divide-by-zero in setup_geo() with zero far_copies
setup_geo() extracts near_copies (nc) and far_copies (fc) from the
user-provided layout parameter without checking for zero. When fc=0
with the "improved" far set layout selected, 'geo->far_set_size =
disks / fc' triggers a divide-by-zero.
Validate nc and fc immediately after extraction, returning -1 if
either is zero.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix double free in ice_sf_eth_activate() error path
When auxiliary_device_add() fails, ice_sf_eth_activate() jumps to
aux_dev_uninit and calls auxiliary_device_uninit(&sf_dev->adev).
The device release callback ice_sf_dev_release() frees sf_dev, but
the current error path falls through to sf_dev_free and calls
kfree(sf_dev) again, causing a double free.
Keep kfree(sf_dev) for the auxiliary_device_init() failure path, but
avoid falling through to sf_dev_free after auxiliary_device_uninit().

wifi: b43legacy: enforce bounds check on firmware key index in RX path
Same fix as b43: the firmware-controlled key index in b43legacy_rx()
can exceed dev->max_nr_keys. The existing B43legacy_WARN_ON is
non-enforcing in production builds, allowing an out-of-bounds read of
dev->key[].
Make the check enforcing by dropping the frame for invalid indices.
