Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8370-1
June 02, 2026
linux, linux-aws, linux-gcp, linux-ibm, linux-nvidia, linux-oracle,
linux-raspi, linux-realtime vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 26.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Software Description:
- linux: Linux kernel
- linux-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems
- linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems
- linux-ibm: Linux kernel for IBM cloud systems
- linux-nvidia: Linux kernel for NVIDIA systems
- linux-oracle: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems
- linux-raspi: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems
- linux-realtime: Linux kernel for Real-time systems
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. (CVE-2026-43284, CVE-2026-43500, CVE-2026-45998, CVE-2026-46000)
It was discovered that a logic flaw existed in the XFRM ESP-in-TCP
subsystem in the Linux kernel when handling socket buffer fragments. This
flaw is known as Fragnesia. A local attacker could use this to escalate
privileges, or possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-43503,
CVE-2026-46300)
Qualys discovered that a race condition existed in the ptrace subsystem of
the Linux kernel when privileged processes are exiting. An unprivileged
local attacker could use this issue to expose sensitive information.
(CVE-2026-46333)
Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0
contain a memory leak when handling AppArmor notifications. A local
attacker could use this to cause resource exhaustion. (CVE-2026-47326)
Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0
contain a NULL pointer dereference when handling AppArmor notifications. A
local attacker could use this to cause a kernel oops. (CVE-2026-47327)
Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0
contained an invalid free when handling AppArmor notifications. A local
attacker could use this to corrupt kernel memory. (CVE-2026-47328)
Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0
contained insufficient validation of AppArmor notification responses. A
local attacker could use this to allow crafted responses to be processed.
(CVE-2026-47329)
Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 used
an uninitialized variable when handling AppArmor notifications. A local
attacker could use this to cause incorrect caching of data.
(CVE-2026-47330)
Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0
contained an out-of-bounds (OOB) read when handling AppArmor notifications.
A local attacker could use this to cause information disclosure of kernel
memory. (CVE-2026-47332)
Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0
contained a out-of-bounds (OOB) read when handling AppArmor notifications.
A local attacker could use this to cause kernel memory corruption and,
theoretically, influence processing of AppArmor policies. (CVE-2026-47333)
Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0
contained incorrect holding of locks when handling AppArmor notifications.
A local attacker could use this to cause a kernel panic or deadlock.
(CVE-2026-47334)
Tristan Madani and Trevor Lawrence have each independently discovered that
Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contained a NULL pointer dereference
when handling AppArmor network socket mediation. A local attacker could use
this to cause a kernel oops. (CVE-2026-47337)
A security issue was discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use this to compromise the system.
This update corrects flaws in the following subsystem:
- RDS protocol;
(CVE-2026-43494)
Update instructions:

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
this as well.
