CVE ID : CVE-2026-19624 CVE-2026-75131 CVE-2026-75883 CVE-2026-93337
Andres Berbescu discovered two vulnerabilities in the L2TP connection
plugin for Network Manager which allowed a local user with permissions
to create/activate personal VPN connections to escalate their privileges
to root.
For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version
