Greg Kroah-Hartman says automated cleanups defeat the subsystem's role as a training ground for new developers.
By kexecQEMU patches heap overflow in vhost-user-gpu backend
CVE-2026-15264 let a malicious guest overflow a host heap buffer via crafted 2D resource dimensions.
By sudoKernel RFC aims to drop PG_private for a new folio flag bit
Zi Yan’s series would free a scarce page-flag bit by treating a non-NULL private pointer as the sole signal that a page carries filesystem or driver state.
By kexecQEMU fixes guest-triggerable VGA heap overflow
A unit mismatch between text and graphics mode left a panning buffer undersized after mode switches, tracked as CVE-2026-17516.
By sudoLinux mm gains ALLOC_UNMAPPED for direct-map-free pages
Brendan Jackman's v3 series lays allocator and mapping groundwork for guest_memfd isolation and Address Space Isolation.
