kernel: "Fragnesia" is a variant of Dirty Frag vulnerability in the ESP/XFRM leading to Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability in the Linux kernel

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem. Unsafe in-place cryptographic processing allows a low-privileged local attacker to write arbitrary bytes into the page cache of read-only files, including sensitive system files. An attacker can exploit this to overwrite privileged...

kernel: Read root-owned files as an unprivileged user

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel that allows an unprivileged local user to read sensitive files normally restricted to the root user. The flaw occurs during process exit, where a brief window allows an attacker to intercept file access from a privileged process before it fully...

kernel: Linux kernel: smb: client: reject userspace cifs.spnego descriptions

A privilege escalation vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's CIFS client implementation. This could allow a local attacker to impersonate other users, bypass authentication in SMB mount operations, and potentially gain unauthorized access to network file shares or escalate privileges...

K000161577: Linux kernel vulnerability CVE-2025-39817

Security Advisory Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: efivarfs: Fix slab-out-of-bounds in efivarfsdcompare Observed on kernel 6.6 present on master as well: BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in memcmp+0x98/0xd0 Call trace: kasancheckrange+0xe8/0x190...

kernel: proc: use the same treatment to check proc_lseek as ones for proc_read_iter et.al

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: proc: use the same treatment to check proclseek as ones for procreaditer et.al Check pde-procops-proclseek directly may cause UAF in rmmod scenario. It's a gap in procregopen after commit 654b33ada4ab"proc: fix UAF in...

kernel: nbd: defer config unlock in nbd_genl_connect

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nbd: defer config unlock in nbdgenlconnect There is one use-after-free warning when running NBDCMDCONNECT and NBDCLEARSOCK: nbdgenlconnect nbdallocandinitconfig // configrefs=1 nbdstartdevice // configrefs=2 set NBDRTHASCONFIGREF...

kernel: smb: client: validate the whole DACL before rewriting it in cifsacl

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Server Message Block SMB client, specifically within the cifsacl functionality. A malicious SMB server could provide a malformed Discretionary Access Control List DACL that claims to contain more Access Control Entries ACEs than are actually present. This...

kernel: Bluetooth: hci_sync: Fix UAF in le_read_features_complete

A flaw was found in the Bluetooth Host Controller Interface HCI synchronization module hcisync of the Linux kernel. A use-after-free UAF vulnerability exists in the lereadfeaturescomplete function, where a freed hciconn object is accessed. This can allow an attacker to cause a system crash, leadi...

kernel: Linux kernel: smb: client: reject userspace cifs.spnego descriptions

A privilege escalation vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's CIFS client implementation. This could allow a local attacker to impersonate other users, bypass authentication in SMB mount operations, and potentially gain unauthorized access to network file shares or escalate privileges...

kernel: netfilter: flowtable: strictly check for maximum number of actions

A flaw was found in the Netfilter flowtable component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability occurs because the system does not strictly check the maximum number of hardware offload actions for IPv6, allowing it to process more actions than supported. This could potentially lead to system...

kernel: ipv6: use RCU in ip6_xmit()

A use-after-free flaw was found in ip6autoflowlabel in the Linux kernel's net/ipv6/ip6output.c code. In this flaw an attacker can cause a denial of service DoS attack...

K000161578: Linux kernel vulnerability CVE-2025-38085

Security Advisory Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/hugetlb: fix hugepmdunshare vs GUP-fast race hugepmdunshare drops a reference on a page table that may have previously been shared across processes, potentially turning it into a normal page table...

CVE-2026-46261

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A null pointer dereference in the wpcm-fiu Serial Peripheral Interface SPI driver, specifically when platformgetresourcebyname returns a null value, could lead to a system crash. This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to cause a Denial of Service DoS...

kernel: ipv6: icmp: clear skb2->cb[] in ip6_err_gen_icmpv6_unreach()

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's IPv6 ICMP error generation. A remote attacker could send a specially crafted IPv4 ICMP error packet with a Common Internet Protocol Security Option CIPSO IP option. This could lead to incorrect handling of packet control block data when generating an IPv6 IC...

kernel: Linux kernel: Use-after-free in bonding driver leads to denial of service

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's bonding driver. A local attacker with low privileges could exploit a use-after-free vulnerability in the bondxmitbroadcast function. This occurs due to a race condition during concurrent slave enslave/release operations, which can lead to the original socket...
