CVE-2026-43071 — dcache: Limit the minimal number of bucket to two

Affected: Linux, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518F-4 PN/DP MFP, Siemens SIPLUS S7-1500 CPU 1518-4 PN/DP MFP

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

dcache: Limit the minimal number of bucket to two

There is an OOB read problem on dentry_hashtable when user sets 'dhash_entries=1': BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff888b30b774b0 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page Oops: Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI RIP: 0010:__d_lookup+0x56/0x120 Call Trace: d_lookup.cold+0x16/0x5d lookup_dcache+0x27/0xf0 lookup_one_qstr_excl+0x2a/0x180 start_dirop+0x55/0xa0 simple_start_creating+0x8d/0xa0 debugfs_start_creating+0x8c/0x180 debugfs_create_dir+0x1d/0x1c0 pinctrl_init+0x6d/0x140 do_one_initcall+0x6d/0x3d0 kernel_init_freeable+0x39f/0x460 kernel_init+0x2a/0x260

There will be only one bucket in dentry_hashtable when dhash_entries is set as one, and d_hash_shift is calculated as 32 by dcache_init(). Then, following process will access more than one buckets(which memory region is not allocated) in dentry_hashtable: d_lookup b = d_hash(hash) dentry_hashtable + ((u32)hashlen >> d_hash_shift) // The C standard defines the behavior of right shift amounts // exceeding the bit width of the operand as undefined. The // result of '(u32)hashlen >> d_hash_shift' becomes 'hashlen', // so 'b' will point to an unallocated memory region. hlist_bl_for_each_entry_rcu(b) hlist_bl_first_rcu(head) h->first // read OOB!

Fix it by limiting the mini…

It was discovered that some AMD processors did not properly clear data in the floating point divider unit during speculative execution. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2025-54505)

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: - ARM64 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Rados block device (RBD) driver; - Compressed RAM block device driver; - Character device driver; - TPM device driver; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - EDAC drivers; - GPU drivers; - Greybus drivers; - HID subsystem; - Microsoft Hyper-V drivers; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - I2C subsystem; - IIO subsystem; - InfiniBand drivers; - Input Device core drivers; - LED subsystem; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - IBM Advanced System Management driver; - MTD block device drivers; - Network drivers; - Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA) driver; - NTB driver; - NVME drivers; - Device tree and open firmware driver; - PCI subsystem; - Remote Processor subsystem; - SCSI subsystem; - SPI subsystem; - Realtek RTL8723BS SDIO drivers; - SM750 framebuffer staging driver; - Thermal drivers; - USB Gadget drivers; - USB over IP driver; - VFIO drivers; - Framebuffer layer; - 9P distributed file system; - AFS file…
