Researchers at Nebula Security have disclosed GhostLock (CVE-2026-43499), a 15-year-old Linux kernel flaw that lets any logged-in user take full root control of a machine that has not been patched
Bad Epoll (CVE-2026-46242) lets local attackers gain root on Linux and Android. The flaw was missed by AI but found by a security researcher. A newly disclosed Linux kernel vulnerability, named Bad Epoll (CVE-2026-46242), allows a local attacker with no special privileges to gain full root access on affected Linux systems and Android devices. Security updates are […]
A newly disclosed Linux kernel flaw called Bad Epoll (CVE-2026-46242) lets an ordinary user with no special access take full control of a machine as root. It affects Linux desktops, servers, and Android, and a fix is out
DirtyClone: a Linux kernel privilege escalation that silently rewrites executables in memory, leaving no disk trace. Patch now. JFrog Security Research published a working exploit walkthrough on June 25 for CVE-2026-43503 (CVSS score of 8.8), a Linux kernel privilege escalation they call DirtyClone. It’s the fourth vulnerability in the DirtyFrag family, all sharing the same […]
A flaw in the Linux kernel's traffic-control subsystem can let a local unprivileged user gain root on affected systems
DirtyClone is a new Linux kernel privilege escalation in the DirtyFrag family. JFrog Security Research published a working exploit walkthrough for the flaw on June 25, the first public demonstration for this variant
A Linux kernel nf_tables bug lets local users gain root via use-after-free caused by a logic error; patch removes a single “!”. CVE-2026-23111 lives in nf_tables, the Linux kernel’s packet filtering framework. Exodus Intelligence researcher Oliver Sieber found the bug in early 2025 and chained it into a full local privilege escalation. The flaw was […]
