2026-10-15T00:49:52.261117+00:00

Affected: Linux, Siemens RUGGEDCOM RST2428P, Siemens SCALANCE XC-300/XR-300/XC-400/XR-500WG/XR-500 family, Siemens SCALANCE XCM-/XRM-/XCH-/XRH-300 family, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 TM MFP - GNU/Linux subsystem

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ipv6: prevent possible NULL dereference in rt6_probe()

syzbot caught a NULL dereference in rt6_probe() [1]

Bail out if __in6_dev_get() returns NULL.

Affected: Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: linux, Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: linux-aws, Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: linux-gcp, Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: linux-gke, Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: linux-ibm, Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: linux-lowlatency, Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: linux-oem-6.8, Ubuntu:24.04:LTS: linux-oracle

Chenyuan Yang discovered that the CEC driver driver in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-23848)

It was discovered that the JFS file system contained an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when printing xattr debug information. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-40902)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
