Summary
A vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel within the biovec_phys_mergeable() function, which does not check if bvec segments belong to different dev_pagemaps. This can lead to memory management errors when segments are physically contiguous.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may encounter data integrity issues and memory management problems, potentially leading to system crashes or unexpected application behavior.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to the latest version to benefit from the fix that adds the zone_device_pages_have_same_pgmap() check to prevent merging bvec segments from different pgmaps.
Other vulnerabilities in Linux kernel
See all- CVE-2026-98372Unknown
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's xfrm IP-TFS module allows an out-of-bounds stack read in iptfs_skb_reset_frag_walk() due to missing fragment index validation. A crafted AGGFRAG packet can trigger this, causing a system crash or potential information leak.
- CVE-2026-98371Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a flaw in xfrm/iptfs handling of inner packet fragmentation occurs when the start of an inner packet is split across two outer packets such that fewer than 4 bytes land at the end of the first one. This bypasses IP header length validation, leading to a buffer overflow and kernel panic (DoS).
- CVE-2026-98370Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a use-after-free vulnerability was fixed in xfrm_state_netlink() when handling ALLOCSPI requests. xfrm_alloc_userspi() calls alloc_compat() again, but passes the original request skb and its header, which for compat requests causes the 228-byte compat xfrm_userspi_info to be interpreted as the 232-byte native layout and reads four bytes past the declared payload. A multicast clone of the request shares skb_shared_info and can observe that child, and xfrm_user_rcv_msg() frees it after the request handler returns, leading to a race and use-after-free.
- CVE-2026-98369Unknown
A bug was fixed in the Linux kernel xfrm subsystem where xfrm_trans_reinject(), after being converted from a tasklet to a workqueue, ran in process context without an RCU read lock. This caused suspicious RCU usage warnings and potential validity issues for dst and netdevice references of packets queued through the workqueue.
- CVE-2026-98368Unknown
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's ESP (IPsec) implementation was found on the out-of-place output path, where the skb frag array was mutated without downgrading managed zerocopy frags (SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS). This breaks the managed-frag invariant, potentially leading to use-after-free of zerocopy pages and memory leaks.
- CVE-2026-98367Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability was fixed in the RDMA/siw driver in siw_accept(). If siw_qp_modify() fails, the QP's state_lock is released before error path cleanup, allowing a concurrent ibv_modify_qp() to transition the QP to ERROR and free the cep structure, leading to use-after-free. The fix clears qp->cep and drops the association reference under the held write lock.
- CVE-2026-98366Unknown
In the Linux kernel's RDMA/rxe subsystem, a vulnerability exists where rxe_rereg_user_mr() reassigns the PD pointer before validating access flags. If validation fails, the MR remains in an inconsistent state, leading to a use-after-free of the PD memory.
- CVE-2026-98365Unknown
In the Linux kernel RDMA/rxe subsystem, mr_check_range() has an integer overflow vulnerability that allows a remote unauthenticated client to bypass memory range validation and trigger out-of-bounds access, causing a kernel oops. The fix rewrites the check in an overflow-safe form, returning -EINVAL for crafted requests.
- CVE-2026-98364Unknown
In the Linux kernel xfrm subsystem, during bundle creation, a missing reference to net_device leads to a use-after-free when a concurrent interface deletion occurs. The fix reads dst->dev via dst_dev_rcu() and keeps the RCU read-side critical section active until xfrm_fill_dst() takes the required references.
- CVE-2026-98363Unknown
In the Linux kernel firmware arm_scpi subsystem, scpi_dvfs_get_info() does not check the upper bound of the OPP count read from SCP firmware, which can lead to out-of-bounds read and incorrect sizing of the allocated OPP table. The fix rejects both zero and too-large OPP counts, returning -EINVAL.
Original NVD description (English source)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: add pgmap check to biovec_phys_mergeable biovec_phys_mergeable() is used by the request merge, DMA mapping, and integrity merge paths to decide if two physically contiguous bvec segments can be coalesced into one. It currently has no check for whether the segments belong to different dev_pagemaps. When zone device memory is registered in multiple chunks, each chunk gets its own dev_pagemap. A single bio can legitimately contain bvecs from different pgmaps -- iov_iter_extract_bvecs() breaks at pgmap boundaries but the outer loop in bio_iov_iter_get_pages() continues filling the same bio. If such bvecs are physically contiguous, biovec_phys_mergeable() will coalesce them, making it impossible to recover the correct pgmap for the merged segment via page_pgmap(). Add a zone_device_pages_have_same_pgmap() check to prevent merging bvec segments that span different pgmaps.
