CVE-2026-68140

EUVD-2026-55522
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/iucv: fix use-after-free of a severed iucv_path

af_iucv queues not-yet-received message notifications on iucv->message_q,
each holding a raw pointer to the connection's iucv_path.  When the peer
severs the connection, iucv_sever_path() frees that path with
iucv_path_free() but leaves the notifications queued.  A later recvmsg()
drains message_q via iucv_process_message_q() and hands the stale path to
message_receive() -- a use-after-free of the freed iucv_path.

Drop the queued notifications when the path is severed; once the path is
gone they can no longer be received.  This also frees the notifications
leaked when a socket is closed with messages still queued.
