Threats Tagged 'cve-2026-23097'

Multiple security vulnerabilities have been identified in the Linux kernel packages used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 8.8 and 10.0. These include denial of service due to deadlocks, use-after-free, heap overflow, memory corruption, and privilege escalation issues affecting various kernel subsystems such as hugetlb folio migration, netfilter, RDMA umad, KVM, NFSv4.0, and CAN raw sockets. Red Hat has released security updates addressing these issues, and applying these updates requires a system reboot.

The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smc: Use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu() in smc_clc_prfx_match(). smc_clc_prfx_match() is called from smc_listen_work() and not under RCU nor RTNL. Using sk_dst_get(sk)->dev could trigger UAF. Let's use __sk_dst_get() and dst_dev_rcu(). Note that the returned value of smc_clc_prfx_match() is not used in the caller.
