| CVE-2025-68173 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2026-04-15 | 5.5 Medium |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ftrace: Fix softlockup in ftrace_module_enable A soft lockup was observed when loading amdgpu module. If a module has a lot of tracable functions, multiple calls to kallsyms_lookup can spend too much time in RCU critical section and with disabled preemption, causing kernel panic. This is the same issue that was fixed in commit d0b24b4e91fc ("ftrace: Prevent RCU stall on PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY kernels") and commit 42ea22e754ba ("ftrace: Add cond_resched() to ftrace_graph_set_hash()"). Fix it the same way by adding cond_resched() in ftrace_module_enable. | ||||
| CVE-2025-68177 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2026-04-15 | N/A |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cpufreq/longhaul: handle NULL policy in longhaul_exit longhaul_exit() was calling cpufreq_cpu_get(0) without checking for a NULL policy pointer. On some systems, this could lead to a NULL dereference and a kernel warning or panic. This patch adds a check using unlikely() and returns early if the policy is NULL. Bugzilla: #219962 | ||||
| CVE-2025-24486 | 2 Intel, Linux | 2 Ethernet 700 Series Software, Linux Kernel | 2026-04-15 | 7.8 High |
| Improper input validation in the Linux kernel-mode driver for some Intel(R) 700 Series Ethernet before version 2.28.5 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. | ||||
| CVE-2025-68197 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2026-04-15 | 7.0 High |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bnxt_en: Fix null pointer dereference in bnxt_bs_trace_check_wrap() With older FW, we may get the ASYNC_EVENT_CMPL_EVENT_ID_DBG_BUF_PRODUCER for FW trace data type that has not been initialized. This will result in a crash in bnxt_bs_trace_type_wrap(). Add a guard to check for a valid magic_byte pointer before proceeding. | ||||
| CVE-2025-68247 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2026-04-15 | N/A |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: posix-timers: Plug potential memory leak in do_timer_create() When posix timer creation is set to allocate a given timer ID and the access to the user space value faults, the function terminates without freeing the already allocated posix timer structure. Move the allocation after the user space access to cure that. [ tglx: Massaged change log ] | ||||
| CVE-2025-21086 | 2 Intel, Linux | 2 Ethernet 700 Series Software, Linux Kernel | 2026-04-15 | 7.5 High |
| Improper input validation in the Linux kernel-mode driver for some Intel(R) 700 Series Ethernet before version 2.28.5 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege. | ||||
| CVE-2022-50812 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2026-04-15 | N/A |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: security: Restrict CONFIG_ZERO_CALL_USED_REGS to gcc or clang > 15.0.6 A bad bug in clang's implementation of -fzero-call-used-regs can result in NULL pointer dereferences (see the links above the check for more information). Restrict CONFIG_CC_HAS_ZERO_CALL_USED_REGS to either a supported GCC version or a clang newer than 15.0.6, which will catch both a theoretical 15.0.7 and the upcoming 16.0.0, which will both have the bug fixed. | ||||
| CVE-2022-50821 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2026-04-15 | 7.0 High |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: SUNRPC: Don't leak netobj memory when gss_read_proxy_verf() fails | ||||
| CVE-2022-50842 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2026-04-15 | 7.0 High |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/virtio: Check whether transferred 2D BO is shmem Transferred 2D BO always must be a shmem BO. Add check for that to prevent NULL dereference if userspace passes a VRAM BO. | ||||
| CVE-2025-40184 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2026-04-15 | 5.5 Medium |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: Fix debug checking for np-guests using huge mappings When running with transparent huge pages and CONFIG_NVHE_EL2_DEBUG then the debug checking in assert_host_shared_guest() fails on the launch of an np-guest. This WARN_ON() causes a panic and generates the stack below. In __pkvm_host_relax_perms_guest() the debug checking assumes the mapping is a single page but it may be a block map. Update the checking so that the size is not checked and just assumes the correct size. While we're here make the same fix in __pkvm_host_mkyoung_guest().

| CVE-2025-68751 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2026-04-15 | 5.5 Medium |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/fpu: Fix false-positive kmsan report in fpu_vstl() A false-positive kmsan report is detected when running ping command. An inline assembly instruction 'vstl' can write varied amount of bytes depending on value of 'index' argument. If 'index' > 0, 'vstl' writes at least 2 bytes. clang generates kmsan write helper call depending on inline assembly constraints. Constraints are evaluated compile-time, but value of 'index' argument is known only at runtime. clang currently generates call to __msan_instrument_asm_store with 1 byte as size. Manually call kmsan function to indicate correct amount of bytes written and fix false-positive report. This change fixes following kmsan reports: [ 36.563119] ===================================================== [ 36.563594] BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in virtqueue_add+0x35c6/0x7c70 [ 36.563852] virtqueue_add+0x35c6/0x7c70 [ 36.564016] virtqueue_add_outbuf+0xa0/0xb0 [ 36.564266] start_xmit+0x288c/0x4a20 [ 36.564460] dev_hard_start_xmit+0x302/0x900 [ 36.564649] sch_direct_xmit+0x340/0xea0 [ 36.564894] __dev_queue_xmit+0x2e94/0x59b0 [ 36.565058] neigh_resolve_output+0x936/0xb40 [ 36.565278] __neigh_update+0x2f66/0x3a60 [ 36.565499] neigh_update+0x52/0x60 [ 36.565683] arp_process+0x1588/0x2de0 [ 36.565916] NF_HOOK+0x1da/0x240 [ 36.566087] arp_rcv+0x3e4/0x6e0 [ 36.566306] __netif_receive_skb_list_core+0x1374/0x15a0 [ 36.566527] netif_receive_skb_list_internal+0x1116/0x17d0 [ 36.566710] napi_complete_done+0x376/0x740 [ 36.566918] virtnet_poll+0x1bae/0x2910 [ 36.567130] __napi_poll+0xf4/0x830 [ 36.567294] net_rx_action+0x97c/0x1ed0 [ 36.567556] handle_softirqs+0x306/0xe10 [ 36.567731] irq_exit_rcu+0x14c/0x2e0 [ 36.567910] do_io_irq+0xd4/0x120 [ 36.568139] io_int_handler+0xc2/0xe8 [ 36.568299] arch_cpu_idle+0xb0/0xc0 [ 36.568540] arch_cpu_idle+0x76/0xc0 [ 36.568726] default_idle_call+0x40/0x70 [ 36.568953] do_idle+0x1d6/0x390 [ 36.569486] cpu_startup_entry+0x9a/0xb0 [ 36.569745] rest_init+0x1ea/0x290 [ 36.570029] start_kernel+0x95e/0xb90 [ 36.570348] startup_continue+0x2e/0x40 [ 36.570703] [ 36.570798] Uninit was created at: [ 36.571002] kmem_cache_alloc_node_noprof+0x9e8/0x10e0 [ 36.571261] kmalloc_reserve+0x12a/0x470 [ 36.571553] __alloc_skb+0x310/0x860 [ 36.571844] __ip_append_data+0x483e/0x6a30 [ 36.572170] ip_append_data+0x11c/0x1e0 [ 36.572477] raw_sendmsg+0x1c8c/0x2180 [ 36.572818] inet_sendmsg+0xe6/0x190 [ 36.573142] __sys_sendto+0x55e/0x8e0 [ 36.573392] __s390x_sys_socketcall+0x19ae/0x2ba0 [ 36.573571] __do_syscall+0x12e/0x240 [ 36.573823] system_call+0x6e/0x90 [ 36.573976] [ 36.574017] Byte 35 of 98 is uninitialized [ 36.574082] Memory access of size 98 starts at 0000000007aa0012 [ 36.574218] [ 36.574325] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Tainted: G B N 6.17.0-dirty #16 NONE [ 36.574541] Tainted: [B]=BAD_PAGE, [N]=TEST [ 36.574617] Hardware name: IBM 3931 A01 703 (KVM/Linux) [ 36.574755] ===================================================== [ 63.532541] ===================================================== [ 63.533639] BUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in virtqueue_add+0x35c6/0x7c70 [ 63.533989] virtqueue_add+0x35c6/0x7c70 [ 63.534940] virtqueue_add_outbuf+0xa0/0xb0 [ 63.535861] start_xmit+0x288c/0x4a20 [ 63.536708] dev_hard_start_xmit+0x302/0x900 [ 63.537020] sch_direct_xmit+0x340/0xea0 [ 63.537997] __dev_queue_xmit+0x2e94/0x59b0 [ 63.538819] neigh_resolve_output+0x936/0xb40 [ 63.539793] ip_finish_output2+0x1ee2/0x2200 [ 63.540784] __ip_finish_output+0x272/0x7a0 [ 63.541765] ip_finish_output+0x4e/0x5e0 [ 63.542791] ip_output+0x166/0x410 [ 63.543771] ip_push_pending_frames+0x1a2/0x470 [ 63.544753] raw_sendmsg+0x1f06/0x2180 [ 63.545033] inet_sendmsg+0xe6/0x190 [ 63.546006] __sys_sendto+0x55e/0x8e0 ---truncated--- | ||||
| CVE-2025-24325 | 2 Intel, Linux | 2 Ethernet 800 Series Software, Linux Kernel | 2026-04-15 | 8.8 High |
| Improper input validation in the Linux kernel-mode driver for some Intel(R) 800 Series Ethernet before version 1.17.2 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. | ||||
| CVE-2025-20093 | 2 Intel, Linux | 2 Ethernet 800 Series Software, Linux Kernel | 2026-04-15 | 8.2 High |

| CVE-2025-68763 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2026-04-15 | N/A |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: starfive - Correctly handle return of sg_nents_for_len The return value of sg_nents_for_len was assigned to an unsigned long in starfive_hash_digest, causing negative error codes to be converted to large positive integers. Add error checking for sg_nents_for_len and return immediately on failure to prevent potential buffer overflows. | ||||
| CVE-2025-40121 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2026-04-15 | 7.0 High |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: Intel: bytcr_rt5651: Fix invalid quirk input mapping When an invalid value is passed via quirk option, currently bytcr_rt5640 driver just ignores and leaves as is, which may lead to unepxected results like OOB access. This patch adds the sanity check and corrects the input mapping to the certain default value if an invalid value is passed. | ||||
| CVE-2025-68754 | 1 Linux | 1 Linux Kernel | 2026-04-15 | N/A |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rtc: amlogic-a4: fix double free caused by devm The clock obtained via devm_clk_get_enabled() is automatically managed by devres and will be disabled and freed on driver detach. Manually calling clk_disable_unprepare() in error path and remove function causes double free. Remove the redundant clk_disable_unprepare() calls from the probe error path and aml_rtc_remove(), allowing the devm framework to automatically manage the clock lifecycle. | ||||
