CVE-2026-64061

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfs: Fix early put of sink folio in netfsreadgaps()

Fix netfsreadgaps() to release the sink page it uses after waiting for the request to complete. The way the sink page is used is that an ITER_BVEC-class iterator is created that has the gaps from the target folio at either end, but has the sink page tiled over the middle so that a single read op can fill in both gaps.

The bug was found by KASAN detecting a UAF on the generic/075 xfstest in the cifsd kernel thread that handles reception of data from the TCP socket:
