USN-8528-1: Linux kernel (Xilinx ZynqMP) vulnerabilities

https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/rss.xml / Fri, 07/10/2026 - 13:04
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) 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) 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) 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: - RISC-V architecture; - Cryptographic API; - InfiniBand drivers; - IOMMU subsystem; - Ethernet bonding driver; - Network drivers; - STMicroelectronics network drivers; - NVME drivers; - x86 platform drivers; - SCSI subsystem; - SPI subsystem; - TCM subsystem; - USB over IP driver; - File systems infrastructure; - HFS+ file system; - Network file system (NFS) server daemon; - SMB network file system; - IPv6 networking; - Netfilter; - Tracing infrastructure; - io_uring subsystem; - Timer subsystem; - B.A.T.M.A.N. meshing protocol; - Bluetooth subsystem; - Ethernet bridge; - Ceph Core library; - IPv4 networking; - MAC80211 subsystem; - Multipath TCP; - Packet sockets; - RDS protocol; - RxRPC session sockets; - SMC sockets; - Sun RPC protocol; - TLS protocol; - X.25 network layer; - AMD SoC Alsa drivers; - KVM subsystem; (CVE-2022-48816, CVE-2023-53673, CVE-2024-35862, CVE-2024-50060, CVE-2025-37778, CVE-2025-37822, CVE-2025-37924, CVE-2025-38201, CVE-2025-40082, CVE-2025-68214, CVE-2025-68263, CVE-2025-71089, CVE-2025-71220, CVE-2025-71222, CVE-2025-71224, CVE-2026-23176, CVE-2026-23180, CVE-2026-23182, CVE-2026-23190, CVE-2026-23193, CVE-2026-23198, CVE-2026-23202, CVE-2026-23206, CVE-2026-23216, CVE-2026-23256, CVE-2026-23257, CVE-2026-23258, CVE-2026-23262, CVE-2026-23272, CVE-2026-23274, CVE-2026-23278, CVE-2026-23351, CVE-2026-23428, CVE-2026-23450, CVE-2026-23455, CVE-2026-31402, CVE-2026-31418, CVE-2026-31419, CVE-2026-31478, CVE-2026-31504, CVE-2026-31533, CVE-2026-31607, CVE-2026-31637, CVE-2026-31649, CVE-2026-31657, CVE-2026-31659, CVE-2026-31668, CVE-2026-31669, CVE-2026-31682, CVE-2026-31685, CVE-2026-43011, CVE-2026-43033, CVE-2026-43037, CVE-2026-43038, CVE-2026-43071, CVE-2026-43077, CVE-2026-43078, CVE-2026-43114, CVE-2026-43117, CVE-2026-43186, CVE-2026-43304, CVE-2026-43341, CVE-2026-43383, CVE-2026-43406, CVE-2026-43407, CVE-2026-43414, CVE-2026-43493, CVE-2026-43494, CVE-2026-43501, CVE-2026-45988, CVE-2026-46028, CVE-2026-46043, CVE-2026-46119, CVE-2026-46135, CVE-2026-46195, CVE-2026-46243)

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.
