USN-8761-1: Linux kernel (Azure) vulnerabilities
Ubuntu patches multiple Linux kernel (Azure) flaws across ARM64, Bluetooth, Netfilter, NTFS3, SMB and other subsystems.
Ubuntu security notice USN-8761-1 corrects several security issues in the Linux kernel for Azure, spanning ARM32, ARM64, and PowerPC architectures plus subsystems including Bluetooth, Netfilter, EFI core, GPU drivers, InfiniBand, SCSI, NTFS3, and SMB. An attacker could possibly use these flaws to compromise the system.
Microsoft September 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes 966 flaws, 2 zero-days
Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes a record 966 flaws, including two Windows zero-days actively exploited to gain SYSTEM privileges.
Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday addresses a record 966 vulnerabilities, including 105 rated Critical, 81 of them remote code execution bugs. Two zero-days were actively exploited: a Windows Update Stack link-following flaw and a Windows ALPC heap-based buffer overflow, both allowing local elevation to SYSTEM privileges. The ALPC flaw was reported by Volexity and Proofpoint researchers, while the Update Stack flaw was credited to Romain Deperne and the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Centre. Microsoft shared no details on how the flaws were exploited in attacks.
USN-8729-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Ubuntu issued USN-8729-1 fixing Linux kernel vulnerabilities across ARM, Bluetooth, GPU, SCSI, SMB, and Azure MANA subsystems.
Ubuntu released USN-8729-1 addressing several security issues discovered in the Linux kernel that could allow an attacker to compromise the system. Fixes span ARM32/ARM64/PowerPC architectures, Bluetooth, GPU, InfiniBand, and network drivers, plus the Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA) driver. The update also corrects flaws in the SCSI and SPI subsystems, SMB and NTFS3 file systems, EFI core, and file systems infrastructure.
ZDI-26-589: BlueZ A2DP Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
ZDI details a network-adjacent stack buffer overflow in BlueZ's A2DP stack (CVE-2026-19774, CVSS 7.1) allowing remote code execution after pairing a malicious Bluetooth device.
The Zero Day Initiative published advisory ZDI-26-589 for a stack-based buffer overflow in BlueZ, the Linux Bluetooth protocol stack. A network-adjacent attacker who can pair a malicious Bluetooth device with the target can execute arbitrary code on the affected installation. The flaw carries a CVSS 7.1 rating and is tracked as CVE-2026-19774.
Apple Releases iOS 27 Security Update to Fix Over 120 Vulnerabilities
Apple released iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 patching roughly 126 vulnerabilities across kernel, WebKit, sandboxing, and authentication components; no active exploitation reported.
Apple released iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 on September 14, 2026, fixing approximately 126 vulnerabilities across more than 90 components, including the kernel, WebKit, AppleKeyStore, Sandbox, and TCC. Flaws include memory corruption, information disclosure, denial-of-service, logic errors, sandbox escapes enabling root privileges, and a Bluetooth issue permitting remote code execution in specific circumstances. Apple also shipped iOS 26.7 and iPadOS 26.7 with over 80 fixes for users delaying the major upgrade, including 75 vulnerabilities shared with iOS 27. No vulnerabilities were reported as actively exploited at release time.
USN-8760-1: Linux kernel (NVIDIA) vulnerabilities
Canonical issues USN-8760-1 patching multiple Linux kernel (NVIDIA) vulnerabilities across numerous subsystems and CPU architectures.
Canonical published USN-8760-1 to correct several Linux kernel (NVIDIA) vulnerabilities that an attacker could possibly use to compromise the system. The update fixes flaws spanning UAPI, the kernel build system, ARM32, ARM64, RISC-V, S390, and x86 architectures. Patched subsystems also include the block layer, cryptographic API, Compute Acceleration Framework, Intel NPU driver, ACPI and Bluetooth drivers, and the hardware random number generator core.
Wireshark 4.6.8 patches 28 security bugs, nine in file parsers
Wireshark 4.6.8 fixes 28 security bugs, including nine crash-prone capture file parsers, misdecoded 5G fields, and memory-safety issues.
Wireshark 4.6.8 fixes 28 security bugs spanning advisories wnpa-sec-2026-64 through wnpa-sec-2026-91, including nine crash bugs in file parsers such as pcapng, Endace ERF and Tektronix K12xx that trigger when opening capture files. Fixes cover dissectors for RDP, SSH, Kerberos, H.245, CMS, C12.22 and several Bluetooth protocols, plus unnumbered memory-safety issues like a stack buffer overflow in the K12/RF5 writer. The release also corrects eight misdecoded 5G NAS/5GSM fields and moves the Unix extcap path to /usr/libexec/wireshark/extcap.
