Above issue may happen as follows:
-------------------------------------
ext4_fill_super
ext4_orphan_cleanup
--- loop1: assume last_orphan is 12 ---
list_add(&EXT4_I(inode)-i_orphan, &EXT4_SB(sb)-s_orphan)
ext4_truncate -- return 0
ext4_inode_attach_jinode -- return -ENOMEM
iput(inode) -- free inode12
--- loop2: last_orphan is still 12 ---
list_add(&EXT4_I(inode)-i_orphan, &EXT4_SB(sb)-s_orphan);
// use inode12 and trigger UAF
To solve this issue, we need to propagate the return value of
ext4_inode_attach_jinode() appropriately.

CVEID: CVE-2025-40269
DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: Fix potential overflow of PCM transfer buffer
The PCM stream data in USB-audio driver is transferred over USB URB
packet buffers, and each packet size is determined dynamically. The
packet sizes are limited by some factors such as wMaxPacketSize USB
descriptor. OTOH, in the current code, the actually used packet sizes
are determined only by the rate and the PPS, which may be bigger than
the size limit above. This results in a buffer overflow, as reported
by syzbot.
Basically when the limit is smaller than the calculated packet size,
it implies that something is wrong, most likely a weird USB
descriptor. So the best option would be just to return an error at
the parameter setup time before doing any further operations.
This patch introduces such a sanity check, and returns -EINVAL when
the packet size is greater than maxpacksize. The comparison with
ep-packsize[1] alone should suffice since it's always equal or
greater than ep-packsize[0].

CVEID: CVE-2026-22998
DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-tcp: fix NULL pointer dereferences in nvmet_tcp_build_pdu_iovec
Commit efa56305908b ("nvmet-tcp: Fix a kernel panic when host sends an invalid H2C PDU length")
added ttag bounds checking and data_offset
validation in nvmet_tcp_handle_h2c_data_pdu(), but it did not validate
whether the command's data structures (cmd-req.sg and cmd-iov) have
been properly initialized before processing H2C_DATA PDUs.
The nvmet_tcp_build_pdu_iovec() function dereferences these pointers
without NULL checks. This can be triggered by sending H2C_DATA PDU
immediately after the ICREQ/ICRESP handshake, before
sending a CONNECT command or NVMe write command.
Attack vectors that trigger NULL pointer dereferences:
1. H2C_DATA PDU sent before CONNECT → both pointers NULL
2. H2C_DATA PDU for READ command → cmd-req.sg allocated, cmd-iov NULL
3. H2C_DATA PDU for uninitialized command slot → both pointers NULL
The fix validates both cmd-req.sg and cmd-iov before calling
nvmet_tcp_build_pdu_iovec(). Both checks are required because:
- Uninitialized commands: both NULL
- READ commands: cmd-req.sg allocated, cmd-iov NULL
- WRITE commands: both allocated

CVEID: CVE-2025-5372
DESCRIPTION: A flaw was found in libssh versions built with OpenSSL versions older than 3.0, specifically in the ssh_kdf() function responsible for key derivation. Due to inconsistent interpretation of return values where OpenSSL uses 0 to indicate failure and libssh uses 0 for success—the function may mistakenly return a success status even when key derivation fails. This results in uninitialized cryptographic key buffers being used in subsequent communication, potentially compromising SSH sessions' confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

CVEID: CVE-2025-66471
DESCRIPTION: urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python. Starting in version 1.0 and prior to 2.6.0, the Streaming API improperly handles highly compressed data. urllib3's streaming API is designed for the efficient handling of large HTTP responses by reading the content in chunks, rather than loading the entire response body into memory at once. When streaming a compressed response, urllib3 can perform decoding or decompression based on the HTTP Content-Encoding header (e.g., gzip, deflate, br, or zstd). The library must read compressed data from the network and decompress it until the requested chunk size is met. Any resulting decompressed data that exceeds the requested amount is held in an internal buffer for the next read operation. The decompression logic could cause urllib3 to fully decode a small amount of highly compressed data in a single operation. This can result in excessive resource consumption (high CPU usage and massive memory allocation for the decompressed data.

CVEID: CVE-2025-66418
DESCRIPTION: urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python. Starting in version 1.24 and prior to 2.6.0, the number of links in the decompression chain was unbounded allowing a malicious server to insert a virtually unlimited number of compression steps leading to high CPU usage and massive memory allocation for the decompressed data. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.6.0.

CVEID: CVE-2026-21441
DESCRIPTION: urllib3 is an HTTP client library for Python. urllib3's streaming API is designed for the efficient handling of large HTTP responses by reading the content in chunks, rather than loading the entire response body into memory at once. urllib3 can perform decoding or decompression based on the HTTP `Content-Encoding` header (e.g., `gzip`, `deflate`, `br`, or `zstd`). When using the streaming API, the library decompresses only the necessary bytes, enabling partial content consumption. Starting in version 1.22 and prior to version 2.6.3, for HTTP redirect responses, the library would read the entire response body to drain the connection and decompress the content unnecessarily. This decompression occurred even before any read methods were called, and configured read limits did not restrict the amount of decompressed data. As a result, there was no safeguard against decompression bombs. A malicious server could exploit this to trigger excessive resource consumption on the client. Applications and libraries are affected when they stream content from untrusted sources by setting `preload_content=False` when they do not disable redirects. Users should upgrade to at least urllib3 v2.6.3, in which the library does not decode content of redirect responses when `preload_content=False`. If upgrading is not immediately possible, disable redirects by setting `redirect=False` for requests to untrusted source.

CVEID: CVE-2025-9086
DESCRIPTION: 1. A cookie is set using the `secure` keyword for `https://target`
2. curl is redirected to or otherwise made to speak with `http://target` (same
hostname, but using clear text HTTP) using the same cookie set
3. The same cookie name is set - but with just a slash as path (`path=\"/\",`).
Since this site is not secure, the cookie *should* just be ignored.
4. A bug in the path comparison logic makes curl read outside a heap buffer
boundary
The bug either causes a crash or it potentially makes the comparison come to
the wrong conclusion and lets the clear-text site override the contents of the
secure cookie, contrary to expectations and depending on the memory contents
immediately following the single-byte allocation that holds the path.
The presumed and correct behavior would be to plainly ignore the second set of
the cookie since it was already set as secure on a secure host so overriding
it on an insecure host should not be okay.

CVEID: CVE-2025-53905
DESCRIPTION: Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.1.1552, a path traversal issue in Vim’s tar.vim plugin can allow overwriting of arbitrary files when opening specially crafted tar archives. Impact is low because this exploit requires direct user interaction. However, successfully exploitation can lead to overwriting sensitive files or placing executable code in privileged locations, depending on the permissions of the process editing the archive. The victim must edit such a file using Vim which will reveal the filename and the file content, a careful user may suspect some strange things going on. Successful exploitation could results in the ability to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system. Version 9.1.1552 contains a patch for the vulnerability.

DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: fix a signed-integer-overflow bug in tcp_add_backlog()
The type of sk_rcvbuf and sk_sndbuf in struct sock is int, and
in tcp_add_backlog(), the variable limit is caculated by adding
sk_rcvbuf, sk_sndbuf and 64 * 1024, it may exceed the max value
of int and overflow. This patch reduces the limit budget by
halving the sndbuf to solve this issue since ACK packets are much
smaller than the payload.

If an SDMA send consists of exactly 6 descriptors and requires dword
padding (in the 7th descriptor), the sdma_txreq descriptor array is not
properly expanded and the packet will overflow into the container
structure. This results in a panic when the send completion runs. The
exact panic varies depending on what elements of the container structure
get corrupted. The fix is to use the correct expression in
_pad_sdma_tx_descs() to test the need to expand the descriptor array.
With this patch the crashes are no longer reproducible and the machine is
stable.

This problem is similar to the problem that the
commit 1d6a9e7449e2 ("RDMA/core: Fix use-after-free when rename device name")
fixes.
The root cause is: the function ib_device_rename() renames the name with
lock. But in the function kobject_uevent(), this name is accessed without
lock protection at the same time.
The solution is to add the lock protection when this name is accessed in
the function kobject_uevent().

occurs. When this happens the following code in squashfs_fill_super()
fails.
----
msblk-devblksize = sb_min_blocksize(sb, SQUASHFS_DEVBLK_SIZE);
msblk-devblksize_log2 = ffz(~msblk-devblksize);
----
sb_min_blocksize() returns 0, which means msblk-devblksize is set to 0.
As a result, ffz(~msblk-devblksize) returns 64, and msblk-devblksize_log2
is set to 64.
This subsequently causes the
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in fs/squashfs/block.c:195:36
shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type 'u64' (aka
'unsigned long long')
This commit adds a check for a 0 return by sb_min_blocksize().

CVEID: CVE-2025-38459
DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
atm: clip: Fix infinite recursive call of clip_push().
syzbot reported the splat below. [0]
This happens if we call ioctl(ATMARP_MKIP) more than once.
During the first call, clip_mkip() sets clip_push() to vcc-push(),
and the second call copies it to clip_vcc-old_push().
Later, when the socket is close()d, vcc_destroy_socket() passes
NULL skb to clip_push(), which calls clip_vcc-old_push(),
triggering the infinite recursion.
Let's prevent the second ioctl(ATMARP_MKIP) by checking
vcc-user_back, which is allocated by the first call as clip_vcc.
Note also that we use lock_sock() to prevent racy calls.

DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/proc: fix uaf in proc_readdir_de()
Pde is erased from subdir rbtree through rb_erase(), but not set the node
to EMPTY, which may result in uaf access. We should use RB_CLEAR_NODE()
set the erased node to EMPTY, then pde_subdir_next() will return NULL to
avoid uaf access.
We found an uaf issue while using stress-ng testing, need to run testcase
getdent and tun in the same time. The steps of the issue is as follows:
1) use getdent to traverse dir /proc/pid/net/dev_snmp6/, and current
pde is tun3;
2) in the [time windows] unregister netdevice tun3 and tun2, and erase
them from rbtree. erase tun3 first, and then erase tun2. the
pde(tun2) will be released to slab;
3) continue to getdent process, then pde_subdir_next() will return
pde(tun2) which is released, it will case uaf access.

References to i915_requests may be trapped by userspace inside a
sync_file or dmabuf (dma-resv) and held indefinitely across different
proceses. To counter-act the memory leaks, we try to not to keep
references from the request past their completion.
On the other side on fence release we need to know if rq-engine
is valid and points to hw engine (true for non-virtual requests).
To make it possible extra bit has been added to rq-execution_mask,
for marking virtual engines.

DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/sched: Fix potential double free in drm_sched_job_add_resv_dependencies
When adding dependencies with drm_sched_job_add_dependency(), that
function consumes the fence reference both on success and failure, so in
the latter case the dma_fence_put() on the error path (xarray failed to
expand) is a double free.
Interestingly this bug appears to have been present ever since
commit ebd5f74255b9 ("drm/sched: Add dependency tracking"), since the code
back then looked like this:
drm_sched_job_add_implicit_dependencies():
...
for (i = 0; i fence_count; i++) {
ret = drm_sched_job_add_dependency(job, fences[i]);
if (ret)
break;
}
for (; i fence_count; i++)
dma_fence_put(fences[i]);
Which means for the failing 'i' the dma_fence_put was already a double
free. Possibly there were no users at that time, or the test cases were
insufficient to hit it.
The bug was then only noticed and fixed after
commit 9c2ba265352a ("drm/scheduler: use new iterator in drm_sched_job_add_implicit_dependencies v2")
landed, with its fixup of
commit 4eaf02d6076c ("drm/scheduler: fix drm_sched_job_add_implicit_dependencies").
At that point it was a slightly different flavour of a double free, which
commit 963d0b356935 ("drm/scheduler: fix drm_sched_job_add_implicit_dependencies harder")
noticed and attempted to fix.
But it only moved the double free from happening inside the
drm_sched_job_add_dependency(), when releasing the reference not yet
obtained, to the caller, when releasing the reference already released by
the former in the failure case.
As such it is not easy to identify the right target for the fixes tag so
lets keep it simple and just continue the chain.
While fixing we also improve the comment and explain the reason for taking
the reference and not dropping it.

CVEID: CVE-2025-68301
DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: atlantic: fix fragment overflow handling in RX path
The atlantic driver can receive packets with more than MAX_SKB_FRAGS (17)
fragments when handling large multi-descriptor packets. This causes an
out-of-bounds write in skb_add_rx_frag_netmem() leading to kernel panic.
The issue occurs because the driver doesn't check the total number of
fragments before calling skb_add_rx_frag(). When a packet requires more
than MAX_SKB_FRAGS fragments, the fragment index exceeds the array bounds.
Fix by assuming there will be an extra frag if buff-len AQ_CFG_RX_HDR_SIZE,
then all fragments are accounted for. And reusing the existing check to
prevent the overflow earlier in the code path.
This crash occurred in production with an Aquantia AQC113 10G NIC.

CVEID: CVE-2022-46337
DESCRIPTION: A cleverly devised username might bypass LDAP authentication checks. In
LDAP-authenticated Derby installations, this could let an attacker fill
up the disk by creating junk Derby databases. In LDAP-authenticated
Derby installations, this could also allow the attacker to execute
malware which was visible to and executable by the account which booted
the Derby server. In LDAP-protected databases which weren't also
protected by SQL GRANT/REVOKE authorization, this vulnerability could
also let an attacker view and corrupt sensitive data and run sensitive
database functions and procedures.
Mitigation:
Users should upgrade to Java 21 and Derby 10.17.1.0.
Alternatively, users who wish to remain on older Java versions should
build their own Derby distribution from one of the release families to
which the fix was backported: 10.16, 10.15, and 10.14. Those are the
releases which correspond, respectively, with Java LTS versions 17, 11,
and 8.

CVEID: CVE-2025-6176
DESCRIPTION: Scrapy versions up to 2.13.2 are vulnerable to a denial of service (DoS) attack due to a flaw in its brotli decompression implementation. The protection mechanism against decompression bombs fails to mitigate the brotli variant, allowing remote servers to crash clients with less than 80GB of available memory. This occurs because brotli can achieve extremely high compression ratios for zero-filled data, leading to excessive memory consumption during decompression.

CVEID: CVE-2025-27533
DESCRIPTION: Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value vulnerability in Apache ActiveMQ.
During unmarshalling of OpenWire commands the size value of buffers was not properly validated which could lead to excessive memory allocation and be exploited to cause a denial of service (DoS) by depleting process memory, thereby affecting applications and services that rely on the availability of the ActiveMQ broker when not using mutual TLS connections.
This issue affects Apache ActiveMQ: from 6.0.0 before 6.1.6, from 5.18.0 before 5.18.7, from 5.17.0 before 5.17.7, before 5.16.8. ActiveMQ 5.19.0 is not affected.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.1.6+, 5.19.0+, 5.18.7+, 5.17.7, or 5.16.8 or which fixes the issue.

DESCRIPTION: Rhino is an open-source implementation of JavaScript written entirely in Java. Prior to 1.8.1, 1.7.15.1, and 1.7.14.1, when an application passed an attacker controlled float poing number into the toFixed() function, it might lead to high CPU consumption and a potential Denial of Service. Small numbers go through this call stack: NativeNumber.numTo DToA.JS_dtostr DToA.JS_dtoa DToA.pow5mult where pow5mult attempts to raise 5 to a ridiculous power. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.8.1, 1.7.15.1, and 1.7.14.1.

This issue affects Apache Commons Lang: Starting with commons-lang:commons-lang 2.0 to 2.6, and, from org.apache.commons:commons-lang3 3.0 before 3.18.0.
The methods ClassUtils.getClass(...) can throw StackOverflowError on very long inputs. Because an Error is usually not handled by applications and libraries, a
StackOverflowError could cause an application to stop.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.18.0, which fixes the issue.

DESCRIPTION: Improper permission check in ZooKeeper AdminServer lets authorized clients to run snapshot and restore command with insufficient permissions.
This issue affects Apache ZooKeeper: from 3.9.0 before 3.9.4.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.9.4, which fixes the issue.
The issue can be mitigated by disabling both commands (via admin.snapshot.enabled and admin.restore.enabled), disabling the whole AdminServer interface (via admin.enableServer), or ensuring that the root ACL does not provide open permissions. (Note that ZooKeeper ACLs are not recursive, so this does not impact operations on child nodes besides notifications from recursive watches.)
