| Added | Exploited vulnerability | Fix by |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-28 | CVE-2026-46300 Kernel Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable Vulnerability Linux Kernel contains a missing initialization of a variable vulnerability that could allow for unintended modification of page-cache-backed data via failure to preserve the shared-fragment marker during socket buffer coalescing, causing ESP input processing to decrypt shared fragments in place. This vulnerability can be chained with CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619 to implant PHP webshells and run commands as root. | 2026-10-31 |
| 2026-09-18 | CVE-2026-53266 Kernel Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write Vulnerability Linux Kernel contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the ebtables SNAT target which allows an ARP sender hardware address rewrite to write directly into a nonlinear socket-buffer fragment backed by a splice-imported file page. The impacted product(s) could be end-of-life (EoL) and/or end-of-service (EoS). Users are advised to discontinue use and/or transition to a supported version. | 2026-09-21 |
| 2026-09-18 | CVE-2025-39964 Kernel Linux Kernel Race Condition Vulnerability Linux Kernel contains a race condition vulnerability which allows concurrent writes to the same AF_ALG socket causing data to be unpredictably interleaved and creating inconsistencies in the socket's internal state. | 2026-09-21 |
| 2026-09-18 | CVE-2025-39682 Kernel Linux Kernel Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions Vulnerability Linux Kernel contains an improper check for unusual or exceptional conditions vulnerability in the TLS receive path which allows a zero-length record retrieved from the rx_list to bypass the intended recvmsg() record-type handling, potentially causing subsequent TLS records to be processed using incorrect zero-copy and queuing assumptions. The impacted product(s) could be end-of-life (EoL) and/or end-of-service (EoS). Users are advised to discontinue use and/or transition to a supported version. | 2026-09-21 |
| 2026-08-27 | CVE-2026-53362 Kernel Linux Kernel Unspecified Vulnerability Linux Kernel contains an unspecified vulnerability that can allow for privilege escalation via IPv6 networking subsystem. This vulnerability can impact multiple products, including but not limited to Suse, Red Hat, and other products using Linux. | 2026-08-30 |
| 2026-08-26 | CVE-2022-0995 Kernel Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write Vulnerability Linux Kernel contains an out-of-bounds memory write vulnerability which could allow a local user to gain privileged access or cause a denial of service on the system. | 2026-08-29 |
| 2026-06-02 | CVE-2022-0492 Kernel Linux Kernel Improper Authentication Vulnerability Linux Kernel contains an improper authentication vulnerability which could allow for privilege escalation via the cgroups v1 release_agent feature. | 2026-06-05 |
| 2026-05-01 | CVE-2026-31431 Kernel Linux Kernel Incorrect Resource Transfer Between Spheres Vulnerability Linux Kernel contains an incorrect resource transfer between spheres vulnerability that could allow for privilege escalation. | 2026-05-15 |
| 2026-01-26 | CVE-2018-14634 Kernel Linux Kernel Integer Overflow Vulnerability Linux Kernel contains an integer overflow vulnerability in the create_elf_tables() function which could allow an unprivileged local user with access to SUID (or otherwise privileged) binary to escalate their privileges on the system. | 2026-02-16 |
