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, CVE-2026-45998, CVE-2026-46000) 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) Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contain a memory leak when handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause resource exhaustion. (CVE-2026-47326) Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contain a NULL pointer dereference when handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause a kernel oops. (CVE-2026-47327) Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contained an invalid free when handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to corrupt kernel memory. (CVE-2026-47328) Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contained insufficient validation of AppArmor notification responses. A local attacker could use this to allow crafted responses to be processed. (CVE-2026-47329) Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 used an uninitialized variable when handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause incorrect caching of data. (CVE-2026-47330) Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contained an out-of-bounds (OOB) read when handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause information disclosure of kernel memory. (CVE-2026-47332) Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contained a out-of-bounds (OOB) read when handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause kernel memory corruption and, theoretically, influence processing of AppArmor policies. (CVE-2026-47333) Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contained incorrect holding of locks when handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause a kernel panic or deadlock. (CVE-2026-47334) Tristan Madani and Trevor Lawrence have each independently discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contained a NULL pointer dereference when handling AppArmor network socket mediation. A local attacker could use this to cause a kernel oops. (CVE-2026-47337) 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: - ARM64 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Rados block device (RBD) driver; - Compressed RAM block device driver; - Character device driver; - TPM device driver; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - EDAC drivers; - GPU drivers; - Greybus drivers; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - IIO subsystem; - InfiniBand drivers; - Input Device core drivers; - LED subsystem; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - IBM Advanced System Management driver; - MTD block device drivers; - Network drivers; - Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA) driver; - NVME drivers; - Device tree and open firmware driver; - PCI subsystem; - Remote Processor subsystem; - SCSI subsystem; - SPI subsystem; - Thermal drivers; - VFIO drivers; - Framebuffer layer; - 9P distributed file system; - AFS file system; - Ceph distributed file system; - EROFS file system; - File systems infrastructure; - Ext4 file system; - Journaling layer for block devices (JBD2); - File system notification infrastructure; - NTFS3 file system; - OCFS2 file system; - Overlay file system; - SMB network file system; - UDF file system; - XFS file system; - Codetag library; - Memory management; - Tracing infrastructure; - io_uring subsystem; - Locking primitives; - Scatterlist API; - Heterogeneous memory management; - Bluetooth subsystem; - Ethernet bridge; - CAIF protocol; - Ceph Core library; - Networking core; - IPv4 networking; - IPv6 networking; - Multipath TCP; - Netfilter; - Qualcomm IPC Router (QRTR); - RDS protocol; - RxRPC session sockets; - SMC sockets; - Stream parser; - Landlock security; - SELinux security module; - ALSA framework; - Generic PCM loopback sound driver; - Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi driver; - USB sound devices; (CVE-2026-43491, CVE-2026-43493, CVE-2026-43494, CVE-2026-43499, CVE-2026-43501, CVE-2026-45986, CVE-2026-45987, CVE-2026-45988, CVE-2026-45989, CVE-2026-45990, CVE-2026-45991, CVE-2026-45994, CVE-2026-45995, CVE-2026-45996, CVE-2026-45997, CVE-2026-45999, CVE-2026-46001, CVE-2026-46002, CVE-2026-46003, CVE-2026-46004, CVE-2026-46005, CVE-2026-46006, CVE-2026-46007, CVE-2026-46008, CVE-2026-46009, CVE-2026-46010, CVE-2026-46011, CVE-2026-46012, CVE-2026-46013, CVE-2026-46014, CVE-2026-46015, CVE-2026-46016, CVE-2026-46018, CVE-2026-46019, CVE-2026-46020, CVE-2026-46021, CVE-2026-46022, CVE-2026-46023, CVE-2026-46024, CVE-2026-46025, CVE-2026-46026, CVE-2026-46027, CVE-2026-46028, CVE-2026-46029, CVE-2026-46030, CVE-2026-46031, CVE-2026-46032, CVE-2026-46033, CVE-2026-46034, CVE-2026-46035, CVE-2026-46036, CVE-2026-46037, CVE-2026-46038, CVE-2026-46039, CVE-2026-46040, CVE-2026-46041, CVE-2026-46042, CVE-2026-46043, CVE-2026-46044, CVE-2026-46045, CVE-2026-46046, CVE-2026-46047, CVE-2026-46048, CVE-2026-46049, CVE-2026-46050, CVE-2026-46051, CVE-2026-46052, CVE-2026-46053, CVE-2026-46054, CVE-2026-46056, CVE-2026-46057, CVE-2026-46058, CVE-2026-46059, CVE-2026-46060, CVE-2026-46061, CVE-2026-46062, CVE-2026-46063, CVE-2026-46064, CVE-2026-46065, CVE-2026-46066, CVE-2026-46067, CVE-2026-46068, CVE-2026-46069, CVE-2026-46070, CVE-2026-46071, CVE-2026-46072, CVE-2026-46073, CVE-2026-46074, CVE-2026-46075, CVE-2026-46076, CVE-2026-46077, CVE-2026-46078, CVE-2026-46079, CVE-2026-46080, CVE-2026-46081, CVE-2026-46082, CVE-2026-46083, CVE-2026-46084, CVE-2026-46085, CVE-2026-46086, CVE-2026-46087, CVE-2026-46088, CVE-2026-46089, CVE-2026-46090, CVE-2026-46091, CVE-2026-46092, CVE-2026-46093, CVE-2026-46094, CVE-2026-46095, CVE-2026-46096, CVE-2026-46097, CVE-2026-46098, CVE-2026-46099, CVE-2026-46100, CVE-2026-46101, CVE-2026-46102, CVE-2026-46103, CVE-2026-46115, CVE-2026-46119, CVE-2026-46135, CVE-2026-46137, CVE-2026-46155, CVE-2026-46185, CVE-2026-46195, CVE-2026-46243, CVE-2026-46244, CVE-2026-46276, CVE-2026-46277, CVE-2026-46278, CVE-2026-46279, CVE-2026-46280, CVE-2026-46281, CVE-2026-46282, CVE-2026-46283, CVE-2026-46284, CVE-2026-46285, CVE-2026-46286, CVE-2026-46287, CVE-2026-46288, CVE-2026-46289, CVE-2026-46316, CVE-2026-46323, CVE-2026-46332, CVE-2026-52904, CVE-2026-52905, CVE-2026-52906, CVE-2026-52907, CVE-2026-52933, CVE-2026-53174)
