CVE-2026-98161

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvdimm: pmem: keep PREFLUSH before data writes pmem_submit_bio() records a REQ_PREFLUSH error, but continues to copy the bio data and can later overwrite the error with a successful REQ_FUA flush. That lets data writes run after a failed preflush and can complete the bio successfully despite the failed ordering barrier. Run the REQ_PREFLUSH flush synchronously before touching the bio data and complete the bio with the flush error if it fails. Keep asynchronous flush chaining for REQ_FUA. At that point, data copy has completed and the parent bio can wait for the chained flush bio.

nvdimm: pmem: keep PREFLUSH before data writes

pmem_submit_bio() records a REQ_PREFLUSH error, but continues to copy the bio data and can later overwrite the error with a successful REQ_FUA flush. That lets data writes run after a failed preflush and can complete the bio successfully despite the failed ordering barrier.

Run the REQ_PREFLUSH flush synchronously before touching the bio data and complete the bio with the flush error if it fails. Keep asynchronous flush chaining for REQ_FUA. At that point, data copy has completed and the parent bio can wait for the chained flush bio.

Upstream kernel 6.18.55 version fixes bugs and vulnerabilities. The kmod-xtables-addons, kmod-virtualbox, kmod-nvidia-current-wopengpu & drakx-installer-images packages have been updated to work with this new kernel.

Vanilla upstream kernel version 6.18.55 fixes vulnerabilities. For information about the vulnerabilities see the links.

These are all security issues fixed in the kernel-devel-7.2.9-1.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.
