Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In March 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: gcs: Do not set PTE_SHARED on GCS mappings if FEAT_LPA2 is enabled
When FEAT_LPA2 is enabled, bits 8-9 of the PTE replace the
shareability attribute with bits 50-51 of the output address. The
_PAGE_GCS{,_RO} definitions include the PTE_SHARED bits as 0b11 (this
matches the other _PAGE_* definitions) but using this macro directly
leads to the following panic when enabling GCS on a system/model with
LPA2:

Similarly to how the kernel handles protection_map[], use a
gcs_page_prot variable to store the protection bits and clear PTE_SHARED
if LPA2 is enabled.
Also remove the unused PAGE_GCS{,_RO} macros.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: io: Extract user memory type in ioremap_prot()
The only caller of ioremap_prot() outside of the generic ioremap()
implementation is generic_access_phys(), which passes a 'pgprot_t' value
determined from the user mapping of the target 'pfn' being accessed by
the kernel. On arm64, the 'pgprot_t' contains all of the non-address
bits from the pte, including the permission controls, and so we end up
returning a new user mapping from ioremap_prot() which faults when
accessed from the kernel on systems with PAN:
| Unable to handle kernel read from unreadable memory at virtual address ffff80008ea89000
| ...

Extract only the memory type from the user 'pgprot_t' in ioremap_prot()
and assert that we're being passed a user mapping, to protect us against
any changes in future that may require additional handling. To avoid
falsely flagging users of ioremap(), provide our own ioremap() macro
which simply wraps __ioremap_prot().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: usb: f81604: correctly anchor the urb in the read bulk callback
When submitting an urb, that is using the anchor pattern, it needs to be
anchored before submitting it otherwise it could be leaked if
usb_kill_anchored_urbs() is called. This logic is correctly done
elsewhere in the driver, except in the read bulk callback so do that
here also.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/irdma: Fix kernel stack leak in irdma_create_user_ah()
struct irdma_create_ah_resp { // 8 bytes, no padding
__u32 ah_id; // offset 0 - SET (uresp.ah_id = ah->sc_ah.ah_info.ah_idx)
__u8 rsvd[4]; // offset 4 - NEVER SET <- LEAK
};
rsvd[4]: 4 bytes of stack memory leaked unconditionally. Only ah_id is assigned before ib_respond_udata().
The reserved members of the structure were not zeroed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: pinconf-generic: Fix memory leak in pinconf_generic_parse_dt_config()
In pinconf_generic_parse_dt_config(), if parse_dt_cfg() fails, it returns
directly. This bypasses the cleanup logic and results in a memory leak of
the cfg buffer.
Fix this by jumping to the out label on failure, ensuring kfree(cfg) is
called before returning.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu/userq: Do not allow userspace to trivially triger kernel warnings
Userspace can either deliberately pass in the too small num_fences, or the
required number can legitimately grow between the two calls to the userq
wait ioctl. In both cases we do not want the emit the kernel warning
backtrace since nothing is wrong with the kernel and userspace will simply
get an errno reported back. So lets simply drop the WARN_ONs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nci: free skb on nci_transceive early error paths
nci_transceive() takes ownership of the skb passed by the caller,
but the -EPROTO, -EINVAL, and -EBUSY error paths return without
freeing it.
Due to issues clearing NCI_DATA_EXCHANGE fixed by subsequent changes
the nci/nci_dev selftest hits the error path occasionally in NIPA,
and kmemleak detects leaks:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sched: avoid qdisc_reset_all_tx_gt() vs dequeue race for lockless qdiscs
When shrinking the number of real tx queues,
netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() calls qdisc_reset_all_tx_gt() to flush
qdiscs for queues which will no longer be used.
qdisc_reset_all_tx_gt() currently serializes qdisc_reset() with
qdisc_lock(). However, for lockless qdiscs, the dequeue path is
serialized by qdisc_run_begin/end() using qdisc->seqlock instead, so
qdisc_reset() can run concurrently with __qdisc_run() and free skbs
while they are still being dequeued, leading to UAF.
This can easily be reproduced on e.g. virtio-net by imposing heavy
traffic while frequently changing the number of queue pairs:
iperf3 -ub0 -c $peer -t 0 &
while :; do
ethtool -L eth0 combined 1
ethtool -L eth0 combined 2
done
With KASAN enabled, this leads to reports like:

Serialize qdisc_reset_all_tx_gt() against the lockless dequeue path by
taking qdisc->seqlock for TCQ_F_NOLOCK qdiscs, matching the
serialization model already used by dev_reset_queue().
Additionally clear QDISC_STATE_NON_EMPTY after reset so the qdisc state
reflects an empty queue, avoiding needless re-scheduling.
