Threats Tagged 'cve-2026-43499'

This Red Hat security advisory addresses multiple vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Extended Lifecycle Support. The issues include validation of nested VLAN headers, improper use of task references in rtmutex, defensive unhashing of xfrm_state lists, and prevention of NULL pointer dereference in futex requeue operations. These vulnerabilities have been rated with an important security impact and require a kernel update and system reboot to apply the fixes.

Multiple security vulnerabilities have been identified and fixed in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Real Time kernel-rt packages. These issues include validation flaws in nested VLAN headers, improper use of task references in mutex removal, defensive unhashing of xfrm_state lists, and prevention of NULL pointer dereference in futex requeue operations. The update addresses these vulnerabilities to improve kernel stability and security. Systems must be rebooted after applying the update for changes to take effect.

The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements. Security Fix(es): * kernel: netfilter: nf_conntrack_helper: pass helper to expect cleanup (CVE-2026-43027) * kernel: rtmutex: Use waiter::task instead of current in remove_waiter() (CVE-2026-43499) * kernel: KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due to unexpected GFN (CVE-2026-46113) * kernel: futex/requeue: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in remove_waiter() on self-deadlock (CVE-2026-53166) * kernel: KVM: x86: Fix shadow paging use-after-free due to unexpected role (CVE-2026-53359) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
