Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix access to uninitialised lock in fc replay path The following kernel trace can be triggered with fstest generic/629 when executed against a filesystem with fast-commit feature enabled: INFO: trying to register non-static key. The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe you didn't initialize this object before use? turning off the locking correctness validator. CPU: 0 PID: 866 Comm: mount Not tainted 6.10.0+ #11 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.16.2-3-gd478f380-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 Call Trace: <TASK> dump_stack_lvl+0x66/0x90 register_lock_class+0x759/0x7d0 __lock_acquire+0x85/0x2630 ? __find_get_block+0xb4/0x380 lock_acquire+0xd1/0x2d0 ? __ext4_journal_get_write_access+0xd5/0x160 _raw_spin_lock+0x33/0x40 ? __ext4_journal_get_write_access+0xd5/0x160 __ext4_journal_get_write_access+0xd5/0x160 ext4_reserve_inode_write+0x61/0xb0 __ext4_mark_inode_dirty+0x79/0x270 ? ext4_ext_replay_set_iblocks+0x2f8/0x450 ext4_ext_replay_set_iblocks+0x330/0x450 ext4_fc_replay+0x14c8/0x1540 ? jread+0x88/0x2e0 ? rcu_is_watching+0x11/0x40 do_one_pass+0x447/0xd00 jbd2_journal_recover+0x139/0x1b0 jbd2_journal_load+0x96/0x390 ext4_load_and_init_journal+0x253/0xd40 ext4_fill_super+0x2cc6/0x3180 ... In the replay path there's an attempt to lock sbi->s_bdev_wb_lock in function ext4_check_bdev_write_error(). Unfortunately, at this point this spinlock has not been initialized yet. Moving it's initialization to an earlier point in __ext4_fill_super() fixes this splat.

——24Vulnerability in the OpenSSH GSSAPI delta included in various Linux distributions. This vulnerability affects the GSSAPI patches added by various Linux distributions and does not affect the OpenSSH upstream project itself. The usage of sshpkt_disconnect() on an error, which does not terminate the process, allows an attacker to send an unexpected GSSAPI message type during the GSSAPI key exchange to the server, which will call the underlying function and continue the execution of the program without setting the related connection variables. As the variables are not initialized to NULL the code later accesses those uninitialized variables, accessing random memory, which could lead to undefined behavior. The recommended workaround is to use ssh_packet_disconnect() instead, which does terminate the process. The impact of the vulnerability depends heavily on the compiler flag hardening configuration.4d CVE-2026-20448.8 HIG

——17GIMP PGM File Parsing Uninitialized Memory Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of PGM files. The issue results from the lack of proper initialization of memory prior to accessing it. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.
