Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Improper control of a resource through its lifetime (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31431) Exploited
CWE-ID: CWE-664 - Improper control of a resource through its lifetime
CVSSv4: 8.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper memory handling within the authencesn cryptographic template in algif_aead when processing AEAD operations. A local user can trigger the vulnerable code path to execute arbitrary code on the system.
Note, this vulnerability was dubbed "Copy Fail".
2) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43284) Exploited
CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
CVSSv4: 9.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H]
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The xfrm-ESP Page-Cache Write vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources in esp_input() function in net/ipv4/esp4.c and esp6_input() function in net/ipv6/esp6.c. A local user can execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
Note, this is one of two vulnerabilities reported as Dirty Frag.
3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43500) Exploited
CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
CVSSv4: 9.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H]
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The RxRPC Page-Cache Write vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources. A local user can execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
Note, this vulnerability is one of two issues described as Dirty Frag.
4) Improper control of a resource through its lifetime (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-46300) Exploited
CWE-ID: CWE-664 - Improper control of a resource through its lifetime
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause memory corruption.
The vulnerability exists due to improper state management in skb_try_coalesce() when transferring paged fragments during TCP receive coalescing. A local user can trigger packet processing that moves shared fragments into an unmarked skb to cause memory corruption.
The issue can lead ESP input to incorrectly treat an uncloned nonlinear skb as not having shared fragments and perform in-place decryption over externally owned or page-cache-backed fragments.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
