Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In April 2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: validate p_idx bounds in ext4_ext_correct_indexes
ext4_ext_correct_indexes() walks up the extent tree correcting
index entries when the first extent in a leaf is modified. Before
accessing path[k].p_idx->ei_block, there is no validation that
p_idx falls within the valid range of index entries for that
level.
If the on-disk extent header contains a corrupted or crafted
eh_entries value, p_idx can point past the end of the allocated
buffer, causing a slab-out-of-bounds read.
Fix this by validating path[k].p_idx against EXT_LAST_INDEX() at
both access sites: before the while loop and inside it. Return
-EFSCORRUPTED if the index pointer is out of range, consistent
with how other bounds violations are handled in the ext4 extent
tree code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix kernel BUG in netfs_limit_iter() for ITER_KVEC iterators
When a process crashes and the kernel writes a core dump to a 9P
filesystem, __kernel_write() creates an ITER_KVEC iterator. This
iterator reaches netfs_limit_iter() via netfs_unbuffered_write(), which
only handles ITER_FOLIOQ, ITER_BVEC and ITER_XARRAY iterator types,
hitting the BUG() for any other type.
Fix this by adding netfs_limit_kvec() following the same pattern as
netfs_limit_bvec(), since both kvec and bvec are simple segment arrays
with pointer and length fields. Dispatch it from netfs_limit_iter() when
the iterator type is ITER_KVEC.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: xilinx: xdma: Fix regmap init error handling
devm_regmap_init_mmio returns an ERR_PTR() upon error, not NULL.
Fix the error check and also fix the error message. Use the error code
from ERR_PTR() instead of the wrong value in ret.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: idxd: Fix leaking event log memory
During the device remove process, the device is reset, causing the
configuration registers to go back to their default state, which is
zero. As the driver is checking if the event log support was enabled
before deallocating, it will fail if a reset happened before.
Do not check if the support was enabled, the check for 'idxd->evl'
being valid (only allocated if the HW capability is available) is
enough.

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:
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:
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.
