The issues have been resolved in updates for Linux kernels 5.10.270, 5.15.221, 6.1.188, 6.6.157, 6.12.109, 6.18.50, and 7.2.4. Exploits for all vulnerabilities have been prepared, with demonstrations taking place in Fedora 43\/44 and Ubuntu 24.04. To exploit the first three vulnerabilities, user namespace creation capability or CAP_NET_ADMIN rights are required, as well as support for subsystems where the vulnerabilities exist (AH6\/XFRM, TUN, PPPoE, and SCTP).\n<ul>\n<li class=\"l\"> DirtyAH6 (CVE-2026-80844, exploit) \u2014 a buffer overflow in the IPsec AH (Authentication Header) handler occurring due to a lack of verification of the values specified in the header. In addition to local exploitation, the vulnerability may theoretically be exploited remotely under specific conditions.\n<li class=\"l\"> TUNderflow (CVE-2026-81000, exploit) \u2014 a buffer overflow when parsing incorrectly formatted TUN packets.\n<li class=\"l\"> PPPoEject (CVE-2026-68121, exploit) \u2014 accessing already freed memory in the PPPoE driver.\n<li class=\"l\"> DiagSpill (CVE-2026-74469, exploit) \u2014 a buffer overflow in SCTP protocol diagnostic tools. In addition to local exploitation, this vulnerability may theoretically be exploited remotely under specific conditions.     <\/ul>\n<li class=\"l\"> Vulnerability (CVE-2026-89775) in the hypervisor <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/prohoster.info\/en\/vps\/abuzoustojchivye-vps\/\" title=\"KVM\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">KVM<\/a>, allowing access to the host environment from the guest system. If unprivileged users have access to the device \/dev\/kvm (default in RHEL), the vulnerability can also be exploited to escalate privileges within the system. The issue only occurs on systems with ARM64 architecture when nested virtualization support is enabled. The vulnerability is caused by the size calculation procedure returning \"0\", implying that the size is unknown, and the memory page release function treated \"0\" as an actual value and did not clear the memory pages.\n<li class=\"l\"> In the mail release <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/prohoster.info\/en\/server\/dts-los-angeles\/\" title=\"server\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">server<\/a> Exim 4.100.1 has fixed 4 vulnerabilities: reading data from outside the buffer and using uninitialized data in the Proxy protocol implementation; accessing memory after it has been freed in TLS-on-connect when using GnuTLS; message injection into another stream (SMTP smuggling).\n<li class=\"l\"> The Ghostscript package 10.08.0 has addressed a vulnerability (CVE-2026-39919) caused by a buffer overflow in the code for parsing JPEG 2000 format when incorrect subsampling values are specified. This issue can lead to code execution when processing specially crafted PDF files with embedded JPEG 2000 images in Ghostscript. The risk of this vulnerability is heightened as Ghostscript is invoked during thumbnail generation on the desktop, during background data indexing, and when converting images. In many cases, to successfully exploit it, it is sufficient to simply upload a file with the exploit or view a directory containing it in Nautilus. Vulnerabilities in Ghostscript can also be exploited via image handlers based on the ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick packages by passing a JPEG or PNG file that contains PostScript code instead of an image (such a file will be processed by Ghostscript, as the MIME type is recognized by content rather than relying on the extension). The issue has been resolved in Ghostscript 10.08.0.\n<li class=\"l\"> In the DNS server Unbound 1.26.1, 9 vulnerabilities have been addressed, among them the CVE-2026-81642 issue, which leads to buffer overflow when processing certain DNSKEY records. The vulnerability can be exploited for remote code execution on <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/prohoster.info\/en\/server\/dts-dronten\/\" title=\"server\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">server<\/a>. Other fixes include: buffer overflow in the DNSSEC handling code, memory corruption in the CNAME handler, and accessing already freed memory in the DoQ and DoH code.\n<li class=\"l\"> The Suricata intrusion detection and prevention system version 8.0.7 has fixed 67 vulnerabilities, with two marked as critical. Details of the issues are not yet disclosed, but given their severity, the vulnerabilities allow for remote code execution when processing specially crafted traffic.  <\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a
