Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dm-pcache: validate the persisted dirty_tail chain at load The writeback worker follows the persisted dirty_tail chain, which is decoded from the cache device independently of the key_tail chain that cache_replay() walks and bounds. A crafted image, whose on-media fields are authenticated only by a crc32c with a fixed seed, can aim dirty_tail at a chain of last ksets that never terminates, so cache_writeback_fn() re-arms itself with no delay forever. Walk the dirty_tail chain once at load with the same hop cap cache_replay() uses and fail the table load with -EIO if it does not reach an end within n_segs hops.

CVE-2026-93156

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: rk3288 - fail ahash requests on HASH idle timeout rk_hash_run() waits for RK_CRYPTO_HASH_STS to become idle after the final DMA transfer, but ignores the poll result. If the hash engine never becomes idle, the driver still reads the digest registers and finalizes the request with the previous success value. Store the poll result and finalize the request with the timeout error before reading the digest registers.

CVE-2026-93161

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: qat - clear AES key schedule from stack qat_alg_xts_reverse_key() expands the forward XTS AES key on the stack. That schedule contains key material and can remain in the stack frame. Clear the temporary crypto_aes_ctx with memzero_explicit() after the copy.

CVE-2026-93162

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: qat - cancel work on re-enable SR-IOV timeout The QAT reset worker queues SR-IOV reenable work using a work_struct and completion embedded in an on-stack adf_sriov_dev_data. If the completion wait times out, the reset worker can return while device_sriov_wq still holds or executes the stack-backed work item. Cancel the work on the device_sriov_wq on timeout before the stack frame unwinds.
