Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-22 15:46:40 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ring-buffer: Prevent subbuf order change when resizing is disabled

Because ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() frees buffer pages, we can't
allow it when resizing is disabled. A non-consuming reader is at risk of
use-after-free (rb_advance_iter()).

Return -EBUSY on resize_disabled, matching ring_buffer_resize()
behaviour.
