Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2026
IBM WebSphere Application Server - Liberty 19.0.0.7 through 26.0.0.5 and IBM WebSphere Application Server 9.0, and 8.5 and WebSphere Application Server Liberty are vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by sending a specially-crafted request. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the server to consume memory resources.

IBM Controller 11.0.1, 11.1.0, 11.1.1, and 11.1.2 contains hard-coded credentials, such as a password or cryptographic key, which it uses for its own inbound authentication, outbound communication to external components, or encryption of internal data.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: reject zero shift in nft_bitwise
Reject zero shift operands for nft_bitwise left and right shift
expressions during initialization.
The carry propagation logic computes the carry from the adjacent 32-bit
word using BITS_PER_TYPE(u32) - shift. A zero shift operand turns this
into a 32-bit shift, which is undefined behaviour.
Reject zero shift operands in the control plane, alongside the existing
check for values greater than or equal to 32, so malformed rules never
reach the packet path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: strparser: fix skb_head leak in strp_abort_strp()
When the stream parser is aborted, for example after a message assembly timeout,
it can still hold a reference to a partially assembled message in
strp->skb_head.
That skb is not released in strp_abort_strp(), which leaks the partially
assembled message and can be triggered repeatedly to exhaust memory.
Fix this by freeing strp->skb_head and resetting the parser state in the
abort path. Leave strp_stop() unchanged so final cleanup still happens in
strp_done() after the work and timer have been synchronized.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: ucan: fix devres lifetime
USB drivers bind to USB interfaces and any device managed resources
should have their lifetime tied to the interface rather than parent USB
device. This avoids issues like memory leaks when drivers are unbound
without their devices being physically disconnected (e.g. on probe
deferral or configuration changes).
Fix the control message buffer lifetime so that it is released on driver
unbind.

libusb before version 1.0.30 contains a one-byte out-of-bounds read vulnerability in parse_iad_array() in descriptor.c that allows attackers to trigger a denial of service by supplying a malformed USB descriptor whose bLength equals size minus one, causing the bounds check to use the original buffer size instead of the remaining size. Attackers in virtualized environments with USB passthrough can supply crafted descriptors through libusb_get_active_interface_association_descriptors or libusb_get_interface_association_descriptors to read one byte past the end of the malloc allocation, resulting in a denial of service.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/md-llbitmap: raise barrier before state machine transition
Move the barrier raise operation before calling llbitmap_state_machine()
in both llbitmap_start_write() and llbitmap_start_discard(). This
ensures the barrier is in place before any state transitions occur,
preventing potential race conditions where the state machine could
complete before the barrier is properly raised.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tpm2-sessions: Fix missing tpm_buf_destroy() in tpm2_read_public()
tpm2_read_public() calls tpm_buf_init() but fails to call
tpm_buf_destroy() on two exit paths, leaking a page allocation:
1. When name_size() returns an error (unrecognized hash algorithm),
the function returns directly without destroying the buffer.
2. On the success path, the buffer is never destroyed before
returning.
All other error paths in the function correctly call
tpm_buf_destroy() before returning.
Fix both by adding the missing tpm_buf_destroy() calls.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: edt-ft5x06 - fix use-after-free in debugfs teardown
The commit 68743c500c6e ("Input: edt-ft5x06 - use per-client debugfs
directory") removed the manual debugfs teardown, relying on the I2C core
to handle it. However, this creates a window where debugfs files are
still accessible after edt_ft5x06_ts_teardown_debugfs() frees
tsdata->raw_buffer.
To prevent a use-after-free, protect the freeing of raw_buffer with the
device mutex and set raw_buffer to NULL. The debugfs read function
already checks if raw_buffer is NULL under the same mutex, so this
safely avoids the use-after-free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: caif: clear client service pointer on teardown
`caif_connect()` can tear down an existing client after remote shutdown by
calling `caif_disconnect_client()` followed by `caif_free_client()`.
`caif_free_client()` releases the service layer referenced by
`adap_layer->dn`, but leaves that pointer stale.
When the socket is later destroyed, `caif_sock_destructor()` calls
`caif_free_client()` again and dereferences the freed service pointer.
Clear the client/service links before releasing the service object so
repeated teardown becomes harmless.
