Linux kernel vulnerability

Published: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 10:34

CVE-2026-43284

Summary

The system could be made to run programs as an administrator.

Details

It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly handle shared page fragments during socket buffer operations, collectively known as Dirty Frag. A logic flaw existed in the XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem and in the RxRPC networking subsystem when processing paged fragments. A local attacker could use this to escalate privileges, or possibly escape a container.
