USN-8278-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/rss.xml / Wed, 05/20/2026 - 02:24
It was discovered that the Linux kernel algif_aead module did not properly handle in-place cryptographic operations. This flaw is known as Copy Fail. A local attacker could use this to escalate privileges, or possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-31431) 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; - Cryptographic API; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - Drivers core; - Null block device driver; - Ublk userspace block driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Counter interface drivers; - DMA engine subsystem; - DPLL subsystem; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - Intel Trace Hub HW tracing drivers; - IIO ADC drivers; - IIO subsystem; - On-Chip Interconnect management framework; - IRQ chip drivers; - Modular ISDN driver; - LED subsystem; - Multiple devices driver; - UACCE accelerator framework; - MMC subsystem; - Ethernet bonding driver; - Network drivers; - Mellanox network drivers; - NVME drivers; - PHY drivers; - x86 platform drivers; - i.MX PM domains; - SCSI subsystem; - SLIMbus drivers; - SPI subsystem; - TCM subsystem; - W1 Dallas's 1-wire bus driver; - Xen hypervisor drivers; - BTRFS file system; - EFI Variable file system; - exFAT file system; - Ext4 file system; - HFS+ file system; - Network file system (NFS) client; - Network file system (NFS) server daemon; - NTFS3 file system; - SMB network file system; - Scheduler infrastructure; - Netfilter; - NFC subsystem; - Tracing infrastructure; - io_uring subsystem; - BPF subsystem; - Perf events; - Floating proportions library; - Memory management; - Bluetooth subsystem; - CAN network layer; - Ceph Core library; - Networking core; - IPv4 networking; - IPv6 networking; - L2TP protocol; - MAC80211 subsystem; - NET/ROM layer; - Packet sockets; - Network traffic control; - SCTP protocol; - TLS protocol; - Unix domain sockets; - VMware vSockets driver; - Wireless networking; - ALSA AC97 driver; - Generic PCM loopback sound driver; - Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi driver; - AMD SoC Alsa drivers; - Texas InstrumentS Audio (ASoC/HDA) drivers; - USB sound devices; - KVM subsystem; (CVE-2024-50004, CVE-2024-58096, CVE-2024-58097, CVE-2025-37926, CVE-2025-38201, CVE-2025-38591, CVE-2025-40039, CVE-2025-40082, CVE-2025-40149, CVE-2025-68351, CVE-2025-68358, CVE-2025-68365, CVE-2025-68725, CVE-2025-68749, CVE-2025-68803, CVE-2025-68823, CVE-2025-71160, CVE-2025-71162, CVE-2025-71163, CVE-2025-71180, CVE-2025-71182, CVE-2025-71183, CVE-2025-71184, CVE-2025-71185, CVE-2025-71186, CVE-2025-71188, CVE-2025-71189, CVE-2025-71190, CVE-2025-71191, CVE-2025-71192, CVE-2025-71193, CVE-2025-71194, CVE-2025-71195, CVE-2025-71196, CVE-2025-71197, CVE-2025-71198, CVE-2025-71199, CVE-2025-71200, CVE-2025-71220, CVE-2025-71222, CVE-2025-71224, CVE-2025-71225, CVE-2025-71268, CVE-2026-22976, CVE-2026-22977, CVE-2026-22978, CVE-2026-22979, CVE-2026-22980, CVE-2026-22982, CVE-2026-22984, CVE-2026-22990, CVE-2026-22991, CVE-2026-22992, CVE-2026-22994, CVE-2026-22996, CVE-2026-22997, CVE-2026-22998, CVE-2026-22999, CVE-2026-23000, CVE-2026-23001, CVE-2026-23003, CVE-2026-23005, CVE-2026-23006, CVE-2026-23010, CVE-2026-23011, CVE-2026-23019, CVE-2026-23020, CVE-2026-23021, CVE-2026-23025, CVE-2026-23026, CVE-2026-23030, CVE-2026-23031, CVE-2026-23032, CVE-2026-23033, CVE-2026-23035, CVE-2026-23037, CVE-2026-23038, CVE-2026-23047, CVE-2026-23049, CVE-2026-23050, CVE-2026-23053, CVE-2026-23054, CVE-2026-23056, CVE-2026-23057, CVE-2026-23058, CVE-2026-23059, CVE-2026-23061, CVE-2026-23062, CVE-2026-23063, CVE-2026-23064, CVE-2026-23065, CVE-2026-23068, CVE-2026-23069, CVE-2026-23071, CVE-2026-23073, CVE-2026-23075, CVE-2026-23076, CVE-2026-23078, CVE-2026-23080, CVE-2026-23083, CVE-2026-23084, CVE-2026-23085, CVE-2026-23086, CVE-2026-23087, CVE-2026-23088, CVE-2026-23089, CVE-2026-23090, CVE-2026-23091, CVE-2026-23093, CVE-2026-23094, CVE-2026-23095, CVE-2026-23096, CVE-2026-23097, CVE-2026-23098, CVE-2026-23099, CVE-2026-23101, CVE-2026-23102, CVE-2026-23103, CVE-2026-23105, CVE-2026-23107, CVE-2026-23108, CVE-2026-23110, CVE-2026-23113, CVE-2026-23116, CVE-2026-23119, CVE-2026-23120, CVE-2026-23121, CVE-2026-23123, CVE-2026-23124, CVE-2026-23125, CVE-2026-23126, CVE-2026-23128, CVE-2026-23129, CVE-2026-23131, CVE-2026-23133, CVE-2026-23135, CVE-2026-23136, CVE-2026-23139, CVE-2026-23140, CVE-2026-23141, CVE-2026-23142, CVE-2026-23144, CVE-2026-23145, CVE-2026-23146, CVE-2026-23148, CVE-2026-23150, CVE-2026-23151, CVE-2026-23156, CVE-2026-23159, CVE-2026-23160, CVE-2026-23163, CVE-2026-23164, CVE-2026-23166, CVE-2026-23167, CVE-2026-23168, CVE-2026-23170, CVE-2026-23172, CVE-2026-23173, CVE-2026-23176, CVE-2026-23178, CVE-2026-23179, CVE-2026-23180, CVE-2026-23182, CVE-2026-23187, CVE-2026-23190, CVE-2026-23191, CVE-2026-23193, CVE-2026-23198, CVE-2026-23200, CVE-2026-23202, CVE-2026-23204, CVE-2026-23205, CVE-2026-23206, CVE-2026-23212, CVE-2026-23213, CVE-2026-23214, CVE-2026-23215, CVE-2026-23216, CVE-2026-23254, CVE-2026-23256, CVE-2026-23257, CVE-2026-23258, CVE-2026-23260, CVE-2026-23261, CVE-2026-23262, CVE-2026-23264, CVE-2026-23274, CVE-2026-23351, CVE-2026-23394, CVE-2026-31419, CVE-2026-31504, CVE-2026-31533, CVE-2026-43033, CVE-2026-43077, CVE-2026-43078)

About

Kenya Education Network CERT(KENET-CERT) is a Cybersecurity Emergency Response Team and Co-ordination Center operated by the National Research and Education Network of Kenya. KENET-CERT coordination center promotes awareness on cybersecurity incidences as well as coordinates and assists member institutions in responding effectively to cyber security threats and incidences. KENET-CERT works closely with Kenya's National CIRT coordination center (CIRT/CC) as a sector CIRT for the academic institutions. KENET promotes use of ICT in Teaching, Learning and Research in Higher Education Institutions in Kenya. KENET aims to interconnect all the Universities, Tertiary and Research Institutions in Kenya by setting up a cost effective and sustainable private network with high speed access to the global Internet. KENET also facilitates electronic communication among students and faculties in member institutions, share learning and teaching resources by collaboration in Research and Development of Educational content.
