Moderate: kernel6.12 security update (Amazon Linux 2023)

Published Mar 16, 2026 · Updated Jul 1, 2026

Summary

Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2023 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-52945: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Revert "wireguard: device: enable threaded NAPI" CVE-2026-23390: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing/dma: Cap dma_map_sg tracepoint arrays to prevent buffer overflow CVE-2026-23221: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bus: fsl-mc: fix use-after-free in driver_override_show() The driver_override_show() function reads the driver_override string without holding the device_lock. However, driver_override_store() uses driver_set_override(), which modifies and frees the string while holding the device_lock. This can result in a concurrent use-after-free if the string is freed by the store function while being read by the show function. Fix this by holding the device_lock around the read operation. CVE-2026-23100: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/hugetlb: fix hugetlb_pmd_shared()
