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) A security issue was discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use this to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystem: - RDS protocol; (CVE-2026-43494)
Multiple vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel, including the "Dirty Frag" and "Fragnesia" logic flaws in socket buffer and XFRM subsystems (CVE-2026-43284 CVSS 8.8, CVE-2026-43500 CVSS 7.8), allow local privilege escalation or container escape. Affected versions include kernel series 5.10 up to before 5.10.255, 5.15 up to before 5.15.205, 6.1 up to before 6.1.171, 6.6 up to before 6.6.138, and 6.12 up to before 6.12.87, with fixes available in those specified versions. A separate set of AppArmor notification vulnerabilities in Ubuntu kernels 6.8, 6.17, and 7.0 can lead to memory corruption, information disclosure, or denial of service.
