Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-93245)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-93245). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: policy_int make sure list heads are initialized before fail path
If profile create fails before policy_init is complete the list heads
are not properly initialized causing profile_free() sanity checks to
trigger the following splat.
AppArmor WARN aa_policy_destroy: (((!list_empty(&policy->profiles) && (&policy->profiles)->prev != ((void *) 0x122 + (0xdead000000000000UL))))):
