In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/bridge: cadence: cdns-mhdp8546-core: Set the mhdp connector earlier in atomic_enable() In case if we get errors in cdns_mhdp_link_up() or cdns_mhdp_reg_read() in atomic_enable, we will go to cdns_mhdp_modeset_retry_fn() and will hit NULL pointer while trying to access the mutex. We need the connector to be set before that. Unlike in legacy cases with flag !DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR, we do not have connector initialised in bridge_attach(), so add the mhdp->connector_ptr in device structure to handle both cases with DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR and !DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR, set it in atomic_enable() earlier to avoid possible NULL pointer dereference in recovery paths like modeset_retry_fn() with the DRM_BRIDGE_ATTACH_NO_CONNECTOR flag set.

- CVE-2026-37230HIGH 7.5
FlexRIC v2.0.0 crashes when the near-RT RIC receives a RIC_INDICATION message with a ran_func_id that does not exist in its registry. The lookup returns NULL, triggering assert() in Debug builds (SIGABRT) or NULL pointer dereference in Release builds (SIGSEGV). A remote unauthenticated attacker can crash the near-RT RIC (port 36421) by sending a crafted RIC_INDICATION with an arbitrary ran_func_id value.
- CVE-2026-37226HIGH 7.5
FlexRIC v2.0.0 crashes when the iApp receives an E42_RIC_SUBSCRIPTION_REQUEST referencing a non-existent E2 Node. The lookup function returns NULL, which is enforced by assert() in Debug builds (SIGABRT) and dereferenced in Release builds (SIGSEGV). A remote unauthenticated attacker can crash the iApp process (port 36422) by sending a subscription request with an arbitrary global_e2_node_id.
- CVE-2025-70099HIGH 7.5
A NULL pointer dereference in the ext4_dir_en_get_name_len function in include/ext4_dir.h of lwext4 1.0.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service by supplying a specially crafted EXT4 filesystem image with malformed directory entries. During directory iteration, the code may fail to validate the directory entry pointer before accessing the name_len field, resulting in a segmentation fault. This affects versions based on (or equivalent to) the 2016-era codebase (1.0.0).
- CVE-2026-13065MED 6.5
A user with read-only privileges is able to craft an aggregation pipeline using the $linearFill window function operator with a specific sortBy expression type to cause the mongod process to terminate abnormally, resulting in denial of service. The issue stems from insufficient validation of sort specifications during execution.
