CVE-2026-64064 — netfs: Fix netfs_invalidate_folio() to clear dirty bit if all changes gone

Affected: Linux

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

netfs: Fix netfs_invalidate_folio() to clear dirty bit if all changes gone

If a streaming write is made, this will leave the relevant modified folio in a not-uptodate, but dirty state with a netfs_folio struct hung off of folio->private indicating the dirty range. Subsequently truncating the file such that the dirty data in the folio is removed, but the first part of the folio theoretically remains will cause the netfs_folio struct to be discarded... but will leave the dirty flag set.

If the folio is then read via mmap(), netfs_read_folio() will see that the page is dirty and jump to netfs_read_gaps() to fill in the missing bits. netfs_read_gaps(), however, expects there to be a netfs_folio struct present and can oops because truncate removed it.

Fix this by calling folio_cancel_dirty() in netfs_invalidate_folio() in the event that all the dirty data in the folio is erased (as nfs does).

Also add some tracepoints to log modifications to a dirty page.

This can be reproduced with something like:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/xfstest.test/foo bs=1M count=1 umount /xfstest.test mount /xfstest.test xfs_io -c "w 0xbbbf 0xf96c" \ -c "truncate 0xbbbf" \ -c "mmap -r 0xb000 0x11000" \ -c "mr 0xb000 0x11000" \ /xfstest.test/foo

with fscaching disabled (otherwise streaming writes are suppressed) and a change to netfs_perform_write() to disallow streaming writes…

USN-8593-1 — linux-ibm, linux-oracle vulnerabilities

Affected: Ubuntu:26.04:LTS: linux-ibm, Ubuntu:26.04:LTS: linux-oracle

It was discovered that some AMD Zen 2 processors did not properly isolate shared resources in the operation cache. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to corrupt instructions executed at a higher privilege level, resulting in privilege escalation. (CVE-2025-54518)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - x86 platform drivers; - PSP security protocol; - ARM32 architecture; - ARM64 architecture; - MIPS architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - S390 architecture; - User-Mode Linux (UML); - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Intel NPU Driver; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - ACPI drivers; - Auxiliary display drivers; - Drivers core; - DRBD Distributed Replicated Block Device drivers; - Rados block device (RBD) driver; - Ublk userspace block driver; - Compressed RAM block device driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Bus devices; - Character device driver; - Clock framework and drivers; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - Buffer Sharing and Synchronization framework; - DPLL subsystem; - EDAC drivers; - Arm Firmware Framework for ARMv8-A(FFA); - EFI core; - FWCTL subsystem; - GPIO subsystem; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - I2C subsystem; - I…
