ubuntu
Calendar Grey July 1, 2026
Dist Ubuntu Esm H88
Address multiple security issues in Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0. Update required for protection against attacks.
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Summary

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:

- linux-oem-7.0: Linux kernel for OEM 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

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 unp...

Update Instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS
  linux-image-7.0.0-1008-oem      7.0.0-1008.8
  linux-image-oem-26.04           7.0.0-1008.8
  linux-image-oem-26.04a          7.0.0-1008.8
  linux-image-oem-7.0             7.0.0-1008.8

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.
