Linux Kernel OpenvSwitch Race Condition Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Linux Kernel. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of dpmeter...

CVE-2026-89487

A flaw was found in openvswitch in the Linux kernel. This vulnerability occurs when the queueuserspacepacket function incorrectly modifies a shared network packet buffer by stripping a critical flag. This action can lead to an unprivileged page-cache write, allowing a local attacker to modify dat...
