Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2026
A flaw was found in Samba’s handling of NTFS-style reparse points on shares configured with read only = yes. Due to missing SMB-layer access checks, authenticated users with underlying filesystem write permissions may create or delete reparse point metadata through SMB operations even on read-only exports. This could allow modification of SMB-visible file behavior, including converting files into symbolic links or other reparse point types.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/display/dp_mst: Add protection against 0 vcpi
When releasing a timeslot there is a slight chance we may end up
with the wrong payload mask due to overflow if the delayed_destroy_work
ends up coming into play after a DP 2.1 monitor gets disconnected
which causes vcpi to become 0 then we try to make the payload =
~BIT(vcpi - 1) which is a negative shift. VCPI id should never
really be 0 hence skip changing the payload mask if VCPI is 0.
Otherwise it leads to

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ima: Fix stack-out-of-bounds in is_bprm_creds_for_exec()
KASAN reported a stack-out-of-bounds access in ima_appraise_measurement
from is_bprm_creds_for_exec:
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in ima_appraise_measurement+0x12dc/0x16a0
Read of size 1 at addr ffffc9000160f940 by task sudo/550
The buggy address belongs to stack of task sudo/550
and is located at offset 24 in frame:
ima_appraise_measurement+0x0/0x16a0
This frame has 2 objects:
[48, 56) 'file'
[80, 148) 'hash'
This is caused by using container_of on the *file pointer. This offset
calculation is what triggers the stack-out-of-bounds error.
In order to fix this, pass in a bprm_is_check boolean which can be set
depending on how process_measurement is called. If the caller has a
linux_binprm pointer and the function is BPRM_CHECK we can determine
is_check and set it then. Otherwise set it to false.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panthor: Fix NULL pointer dereference on panthor_fw_unplug
This patch removes the MCU halt and wait for halt procedures during
panthor_fw_unplug() as the MCU can be in a variety of states or the FW
may not even be loaded/initialized at all, the latter of which can lead
to a NULL pointer dereference.
It should be safe on unplug to just disable the MCU without waiting for
it to halt as it may not be able to.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/amdxdna: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in context cleanup
aie_destroy_context() is invoked during error handling in
aie2_create_context(). However, aie_destroy_context() assumes that the
context's mailbox channel pointer is non-NULL. If mailbox channel
creation fails, the pointer remains NULL and calling aie_destroy_context()
can lead to a NULL pointer dereference.
In aie2_create_context(), replace aie_destroy_context() with a function
which request firmware to remove the context created previously.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: fix deadlock in ni_read_folio_cmpr
Syzbot reported a task hung in ni_readpage_cmpr (now ni_read_folio_cmpr).
This is caused by a lock inversion deadlock involving the inode mutex
(ni_lock) and page locks.
Scenario:
1. Task A enters ntfs_read_folio() for page X. It acquires ni_lock.
2. Task A calls ni_read_folio_cmpr(), which attempts to lock all pages in
the compressed frame (including page Y).
3. Concurrently, Task B (e.g., via readahead) has locked page Y and
calls ntfs_read_folio().
4. Task B waits for ni_lock (held by A).
5. Task A waits for page Y lock (held by B).
-> DEADLOCK.
The fix is to restructure locking: do not take ni_lock in ntfs_read_folio().
Instead, acquire ni_lock inside ni_read_folio_cmpr() ONLY AFTER all required
page locks for the frame have been successfully acquired. This restores the
correct lock ordering (Page Lock -> ni_lock) consistent with VFS.
[almaz.alexandrovich@paragon-software.com: ni_readpage_cmpr was renamed to ni_read_folio_cmpr]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Initialize new folios before use
KMSAN reports an uninitialized value in longest_match_std(), invoked
from ntfs_compress_write(). When new folios are allocated without being
marked uptodate and ni_read_frame() is skipped because the caller expects
the frame to be completely overwritten, some reserved folios may remain
only partially filled, leaving the rest memory uninitialized.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: fix ntfs_mount_options leak in ntfs_fill_super()
In ntfs_fill_super(), the fc->fs_private pointer is set to NULL without
first freeing the memory it points to. This causes the subsequent call to
ntfs_fs_free() to skip freeing the ntfs_mount_options structure.
This results in a kmemleak report:
unreferenced object 0xff1100015378b800 (size 32):
comm "mount", pid 582, jiffies 4294890685

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e
This issue can be reproduced using the following commands:
fallocate -l 100M test.file
mount test.file /tmp/test
Since sbi->options is duplicated from fc->fs_private and does not
directly use the memory allocated for fs_private, it is unnecessary to
set fc->fs_private to NULL.
Additionally, this patch simplifies the code by utilizing the helper
function put_mount_options() instead of open-coding the cleanup logic.
