The Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself.

Security Fix(es):

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

bpf, cpumap: Make sure kthread is running before map update returns

The following warning was reported when running stress-mode enabled
xdp_redirect_cpu with some RT threads:

The root cause is the same as commit 436901649731 ("bpf: cpumap: Fix memory
leak in cpu_map_update_elem"). The kthread is stopped prematurely by
kthread_stop() in cpu_map_kthread_stop(), and kthread() doesn't call
cpu_map_kthread_run() at all but XDP program has already queued some
frames or skbs into ptr_ring. So when __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() checks
the ptr_ring, it will find it was not emptied and report a warning.

An alternative fix is to use __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() to drop these
pending frames or skbs when kthread_stop() returns -EINTR, but it may
confuse the user, because these frames or skbs have been handled
correctly by XDP program. So instead of dropping these frames or skbs,
just make sure the per-cpu kthread is running before
__cpu_map_entry_alloc() returns.

After apply the fix, the error handle for kthread_stop() will be
unnecessary because it will always return 0, so just remove it.(CVE-2023-53577)

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

scsi: target: iscsi: Fix use-after-free in iscsit_dec_conn_usage_count()

In iscsit_dec_conn_usage_count(), the function calls complete() while
holding the conn->conn_usage_lock. As soon as complete() is invoked, the
waiter (such as iscsit_close_connection()) may wake up and proceed to free
the iscsit_conn structure.

If the waiter frees the memory before the current thread reaches
spin_unlock_bh(), it results in a KASAN slab-use-after-free as the function
attempts to release a lock within the already-freed connection structure.

Fix this by releasing the spinlock before calling complete().(CVE-2026-23216)
