CVE-2026-53099

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The issue arises from an incorrect configuration option for Control-Flow Integrity CFI, a security mechanism designed to prevent certain types of attacks. Due to a naming change, the CFI code was not properly compiled, leading to its intended protections not...

Janus: Compiler-Based Defense against Transient Execution Attacks Using ARM Hardware Primitives

We present Janus, a compiler-based security framework that mitigates transient execution attacks like Spectre and control-flow hijacking on ARM64 platforms. Janus integrates speculative execution and control flow dependencies with PA modifiers, using PA and BTI microarchitectural features to...

CVE-2026-43306

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Berkeley Packet Filter BPF crypto component. A local attacker, by running a specially crafted BPF program, could trigger a type mismatch in function pointers when Control Flow Integrity CFI is enabled. This can lead to a kernel internal error, resulting in a...
