    It was discovered that the Linux kernel algif_aead module did not properly handle in-place cryptographic
    operations. This flaw is known as Copy Fail. A local attacker could use this to escalate privileges, or
    possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-31431)

    It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly handle shared page fragments during socket buffer
    operations, collectively known as Dirty Frag. A logic flaw existed in the XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem and in
    the RxRPC networking subsystem when processing paged fragments. A local attacker could use this to
    escalate privileges, or possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-43284, CVE-2026-43500)

    It was discovered that a logic flaw existed in the XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel when
    handling socket buffer fragments. This flaw is known as Fragnesia. A local attacker could use this to
    escalate privileges, or possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-43503, CVE-2026-46300)

    Qualys discovered that a race condition existed in the ptrace subsystem of the Linux kernel when
    privileged processes are exiting. An unprivileged local attacker could use this issue to expose sensitive
    information. (CVE-2026-46333)

    Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to
    compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
