CVE-2026-80955

EUVD-2026-76278
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dm-pcache: fix use-after-free and invalid seg operations in kset_replay()

In kset_replay, when key->seg_gen is stale (key->seg_gen <
key->cache_pos.cache_seg->gen), cache_key_put(key) is called but then
key->cache_pos.cache_seg is accessed as the argument to cache_seg_get().
This is a use-after-free on the freed key memory. Although mempool
recycled memory is not immediately reclaimed or overwritten in practice,
this is still a potential UAF bug.

Additionally, for expired invalid keys, setting the cache->seg_map bit
and calling cache_seg_get() is unreasonable since the corresponding
segment data is no longer valid.

Fix both issues by moving cache_seg_get() and __set_bit() after the
gen check, so they only execute for valid keys, and using continue to
skip invalid keys.
