The skb that wasn't freed - the Fragnesia primitive via Open vSwitch
Doyensec details CVE-2026-90049 in Open vSwitch, enabling deterministic Linux kernel local privilege escalation on default major distribution installs.
Doyensec reports that the Open vSwitch datapath strips the SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG flag from packets it is still forwarding, allowing an in-place decrypt to write attacker-chosen bytes into root-owned page cache — a Dirty COW-class primitive that re-opens the Fragnesia bug family. The issues are tracked as CVE-2026-90049, CVE-2026-89487, and CVE-2026-80977, and were reported to the kernel security team with fixes coordinated alongside OVS maintainers. A deterministic local privilege escalation works on default installs of Arch, Fedora, Debian, Amazon Linux, and RHEL where unprivileged user namespaces and openvswitch auto-loading are enabled; the fix landed in mainline and shipped in stable on 09/04/2026. The write technique builds on the earlier Fragnesia and Dirty Frag bugs, including CVE-2026-43284 and CVE-2026-43500.
CVE-2026-87779: Apache Syncope: AES Secret Key disclosure via log output
Apache Syncope's CVE-2026-87779 exposes AES secret keys in log output when keys use non-standard lengths, rated important.
CVE-2026-87779 is an important-severity insertion of sensitive information into log file vulnerability in Apache Syncope. When an AES key of non-standard length (not 16, 24 or 32 bytes) is used, the secret key can be disclosed via log output. Affected versions are syncope-core-spring 3.0.15 through 3.0.16, 4.0.3 through 4.0.7, and 4.1.0-M0 through 4.1.2.
Hack One Robot, Reach the Next: Unitree G1 Security Flaws
Researcher chained two Unitree G1 flaws (CVE-2026-76639, CVE-2026-76640) to gain unauthenticated root access, with compromised robots able to infect others via Bluetooth.
Security researcher Olivier Laflamme chained a path-traversal file-write flaw (CVE-2026-76639) in the G1 chatbot service and a Bluetooth server buffer overflow (CVE-2026-76640) to achieve unauthenticated root access remotely. The chain abuses Unitree's cloud API as a decryption oracle for the AES-128 key that unlocks BLE and WebRTC channels, and a compromised robot can propagate the attack to nearby G1 units. Unitree patched the cloud ownership-check flaw, paid a $5,000 bounty, and firmware fixes for BLE pairing and the buffer overflow remain harder to deliver.
