USN-8548-2 Not scored

linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm vulnerabilities

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) 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: - SCSI subsystem; - Thermal drivers; - USB over IP driver; - File systems infrastructure; - Ext4 file system; - Network file system (NFS) server daemon; - SMB network file system; - Tracing infrastructure; - B.A.T.M.A.N. meshing protocol; - Ceph Core library; - DCCP (Datagram Congestion Control Protocol); - IPv4 networking; - IPv6 networking; - Netfilter; - RxRPC session sockets; - X.25 network layer; (CVE-2021-47117, CVE-2021-47202, CVE-2023-52646, CVE-2024-56643, CVE-2026-23455, CVE-2026-31402, CVE-2026-31607, CVE-2026-31637, CVE-2026-31659, CVE-2026-31685, CVE-2026-43011, CVE-2026-43037, CVE-2026-43038, CVE-2026-43383, CVE-2026-43407, CVE-2026-43414, CVE-2026-45988, CVE-2026-46119, CVE-2026-46243)
