In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xsk: cache csumstart/csumoffset to fix TOCTOU in xskskbmetadata The TX metadata area resides in the UMEM buffer which is memory-mapped and concurrently writable by userspace. In xskskbmetadata, csumstart and csumoffset are read...

Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-53169

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available. - accel/ethosu: reject NPUOPRESIZE commands from userspace NPUOPRESIZE is a U85-only command that the driver does not yet implement. The existing WARNON1...

CVE-2026-53168

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Filesystem in Userspace FUSE component. The fusenotify function, specifically the FUSENOTIFYSTORE and FUSENOTIFYRETRIEVE operations, allows the FUSE daemon to write or read pagecache contents. When these operations are performed on directories configured wit...

SUSE CVE-2026-53168

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fuse: reject fusenotify pagecache ops on directories The operations FUSENOTIFYSTORE and FUSENOTIFYRETRIEVE allow the FUSE daemon to actively write/read pagecache contents. For directories with FOPENCACHEDIR, the pagecache is used...

SUSE CVE-2026-53193

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: timer: Forcibly close timer instances at closing When sndtimer object is freed via sndtimerfree and still pending sndtimerinstance objects are assigned to the timer object, it tries to unlink all instances and just set NULL...

CVE-2026-53172

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's accel/ethosu component. An incorrect mask used when processing the NPUSETIFMREGION command allows a local userspace caller to provide an out-of-bounds region index. This can lead to an out-of-bounds write, corrupting adjacent kernel heap data...

CVE-2026-53219

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's netfilter xtables component. This vulnerability allows for information disclosure due to improper handling of percpu counter pointers during the copying of rule entry headers to userspace. A local attacker could exploit this by causing a fault in a userspace...

CVE-2026-53163

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: locking/rtmutex: Skip removewaiter when waiter is not enqueued syzbot triggered the following splat in removewaiter via FUTEXCMPREQUEUEPI: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range 0x0000000000000a88-0x0000000000000a8f...

CVE-2026-53218

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netfilter: nftexthdr: fix register tracking for FPRESENT flag nftexthdrinit passes user-controlled priv-len to nftparseregisterstore, which marks that many bytes in the register bitmap as initialized. However, when...

CVE-2026-53169

In the Linux kernel, accel/ethosu has been fixed to reject NPU_OP_RESIZE commands from userspace. The driver previously used an unconditional WARN_ON(1) in DRM_IOCTL_ETHOSU_GEM_CREATE, enabling kernel log spam and, if panic_on_warn was set, potential DoS via a local unprivileged user. The patch r...
