{"apiVersion":"1.0","identifier":"CVE-2026-72169","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kho: make sure scratch size is always aligned by CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES When using scratch_scale, the scratch sizes are rounded up to CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES since they will be released as MIGRATE_CMA. This is not done when using fixed scratch sizes via command line. This can result in user specifying a size which is not aligned, and thus kernel releasing a pageblock that is only partially scratch. Do the rounding up for both cases in scratch_size_update().","publishedAt":"2026-08-15T06:21:34","lastModifiedAt":"2026-08-17T06:18:17","sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72169","cvssScore":null,"cvssVector":"Pending","epssProbability":0.00198,"riskScore":0,"affectedProduct":"Linux kernel","affectedVersions":"unknown","vulnerabilityType":"Kernel","operatingSystems":[],"links":{"self":"https://www.redsauce.net/api/cves/CVE-2026-72169","webPages":{"es":"https://www.redsauce.net/es/cves/CVE-2026-72169","en":"https://www.redsauce.net/en/cves/CVE-2026-72169","fr":"https://www.redsauce.net/fr/cves/CVE-2026-72169","pt":"https://www.redsauce.net/pt/cves/CVE-2026-72169","de":"https://www.redsauce.net/de/cves/CVE-2026-72169","sk":"https://www.redsauce.net/sk/cves/CVE-2026-72169","el":"https://www.redsauce.net/el/cves/CVE-2026-72169"},"source":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72169"}}
