An update of the linux package has been released.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - gpio: Fix resource leaks on errors in gpiochip_add_data_with_key() Since commit aab5c6f20023 (gpio: set     device type for GPIO chips), `gdev->dev.release` is unset. As a result, the reference count to     `gdev->dev` isn't dropped on the error handling paths. Drop the reference on errors. Also reorder the     instructions to make the error handling simpler. Now gpiochip_add_data_with_key() roughly looks like: >>>     Some memory allocation. Go to ERR ZONE 1 on errors. >>> device_initialize(). gpiodev_release() takes over     the responsibility for freeing the resources of `gdev->dev`. The subsequent error handling paths shouldn't     go through ERR ZONE 1 again which leads to double free. >>> Some initialization mainly on `gdev`. >>> The     rest of initialization. Go to ERR ZONE 2 on errors. >>> Chip registration success and exit. >>> ERR ZONE     2. gpio_device_put() and exit. >>> ERR ZONE 1. (CVE-2026-31732)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    af_unix: Set gc_in_progress to true in unix_gc(). (CVE-2026-53361)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    virtiofs: fix UAF on submount umount

    iput() called from fuse_release_end() can Oops if the super block hasalready been destroyed.  Normally     this is prevented by waiting fornum_waiting to go down to zero before commencing with super block     shutdown.

    This only works, however, for the last submount instance, as the waitcounter is per connection, not per     superblock.

    Revert to using synchronous release requests for the auto_submounts case,which is virtiofs only at this     time. (CVE-2026-53381)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    vc_screen: fix null-ptr-deref in vcs_notifier() during concurrent vcs_write

    A KASAN null-ptr-deref was observed in vcs_notifier():

    BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in vcs_notifier+0x98/0x130Read of size 2 at addr qmp_cmd_name:
    qmp_capabilities, arguments: {}

    The issue is a race condition in vcs_write(). When the console_lock istemporarily dropped (to copy data     from userspace), the vc_data pointerobtained from vcs_vc() may become stale. After re-acquiring the     lock,vcs_vc() is called again to re-validate the pointer. If the vc has beendeallocated in the meantime,     vcs_vc() returns NULL, and the while loopbreaks (with written > 0). However, after the loop,     vcs_scr_updated(vc)is still called with the now-NULL vc pointer, leading to a null pointerdereference in     the notifier chain (vcs_notifier dereferences param->vc).

    Fix this by adding a NULL check for vc before calling vcs_scr_updated(). (CVE-2026-53385)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    fuse: re-lock request before replacing page cache folio

    fuse_try_move_folio() unlocks the request on entry but does notre-lock it on the success path. This means     fuse_chan_abort() can end therequest and free the fuse_io_args (eg fuse_readpages_end()) while     thesubsequent copy chain logic after fuse_try_move_folio() accesses thefuse_io_args, leading to use-after-     free issues.

    Fix this by calling lock_request() before replace_page_cache_folio().This ensures the request is locked on     the success path which willprevent the fuse_io_args from being freed while the later copying logicruns,     and also ensures that the ap->folios[i]->mapping is never nullsince ap->folios[i] will always point to the     newfolio afterreplace_page_cache_folio(). (CVE-2026-53388)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    NFSv4/pNFS: reject zero-length r_addr in nfs4_decode_mp_ds_addr (CVE-2026-53391)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    nfsd: reset write verifier on deferred writeback errors (CVE-2026-53393)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    nfsd: avoid leaking pre-allocated openowner on unconfirmed retry race (CVE-2026-53394)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    nfsd: fix posix_acl leak on SETACL decode failure (CVE-2026-53397)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    NFSD: Fix SECINFO_NO_NAME decode error cleanup (CVE-2026-53398)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    i2c: core: fix adapter registration race

    Adapters can be looked up based on their id using i2c_get_adapter()which takes a reference to the embedded     struct device.

    Make sure that the adapter (including its struct device) has beeninitialised before adding it to the IDR     to avoid accessing uninitialiseddata which could, for example, lead to NULL-pointer dereferences oruse-     after-free.

    Note that the i2c-dev chardev, which is registered from a bus notifier,currently uses i2c_get_adapter() so     the adapter needs to be added to theIDR before registration. (CVE-2026-53400)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    fbdev: Fix fb_new_modelist to prevent null-ptr-deref in fb_videomode_to_var

    info->var, a framebuffer's current mode, is expected to have a matchingentry in info->modelist.
    var_to_display() relies on this and treats afailed fb_match_mode() as This should not happen.
    fb_set_var() keeps ittrue by adding the mode to the list on every change, anddo_register_framebuffer()     does the same at registration.

    store_modes() replaces the modelist from userspace. fb_new_modelist()validates the new modes but does not     check that info->var still has amatch. It relies on fbcon_new_modelist() to re-point consoles, but     thatonly handles consoles mapped to the framebuffer. With fbcon unbound thereare none, so info->var is     left describing a mode that is no longer in thelist.

    A later console takeover runs var_to_display(), where fb_match_mode()returns NULL and leaves     fb_display[i].mode NULL. fbcon_switch() passes itto display_to_var(), and fb_videomode_to_var()     dereferences the NULL mode.

    Keep the current mode in the list in fb_new_modelist(), the same wayfb_set_var() does. (CVE-2026-53403)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    net: skmsg: preserve sg.copy across SG transforms (CVE-2026-63830)

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    ntfs3: reject direct userspace writes to reserved $LX* xattrs

    NTFS3 uses $LXUID, $LXGID, $LXMOD and $LXDEV as internal WSLpermission metadata and reloads them into     i_uid, i_gid and i_modefrom ntfs_get_wsl_perm().

    Because the empty-prefix xattr handler also lets file owners callsetxattr() on these names directly, an     unprivileged writer on awritable ntfs3 mount can plant root ownership and S_ISUID on their ownfile and     gain euid 0 after inode reload.

    Reject direct userspace writes to the reserved $LX* names. Internalntfs3 metadata updates are unchanged     because ntfs_save_wsl_perm()writes them via ntfs_set_ea() directly.
