ZDI-26-690: Linux Kernel MCTP Routing Uninitialized Memory Information Disclosure Vulnerability

ZDI discloses Linux Kernel MCTP routing uninitialized memory flaw (CVE-2026-45930) letting high-privileged local attackers leak sensitive kernel information.

ZDI-26-690 describes an uninitialized memory information disclosure vulnerability in the Linux Kernel MCTP routing subsystem, tracked as CVE-2026-45930 with a CVSS rating of 6.0. Exploitation requires the attacker to already have the ability to execute high-privileged code on the target system. Impact is limited to disclosure of sensitive information from affected installations.

ZDI-26-608: Linux Kernel KVM IOAPIC Use-After-Free Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

The Linux kernel KVM IOAPIC has a use-after-free (CVSS 8.2) allowing local privilege escalation, but exploitation requires high-privileged code execution first.

ZDI-26-608 describes a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's KVM IOAPIC component, with a CVSS score of 8.2. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute high-privileged code on the target system, which limits the practical impact of the privilege escalation. The advisory text does not list an assigned CVE identifier.

ZDI-26-698: Linux Kernel NTFS3 Out-Of-Bounds Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability

ZDI-26-698: Linux Kernel NTFS3 out-of-bounds read (CVSS 5.2) allows local attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected systems.

ZDI advisory ZDI-26-698 describes an out-of-bounds read in the Linux Kernel NTFS3 driver rated CVSS 5.2. Exploitation requires the attacker to first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target. The impact is limited to local information disclosure. No CVE identifier is listed in the advisory.

ZDI-26-701: Linux Kernel TLS Protocol Out-Of-Bounds Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability

ZDI discloses Linux Kernel TLS protocol out-of-bounds read (CVE-2026-64046) allowing high-privileged local attackers to disclose sensitive information, CVSS 6.7.

ZDI-26-701 covers an out-of-bounds read information disclosure vulnerability in the Linux Kernel TLS protocol implementation, tracked as CVE-2026-64046 with a CVSS rating of 6.7. Exploitation requires the attacker to already have the ability to execute high-privileged code on the target system. Impact is limited to disclosure of sensitive information from affected installations.

ZDI-26-576: Linux Kernel XFRM Race Condition Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

ZDI disclosed a race condition local privilege escalation flaw in the Linux Kernel XFRM subsystem, CVSS 7.5, with no CVE assigned.

The Zero Day Initiative published ZDI-26-576 describing a race condition in the Linux Kernel XFRM subsystem. Local attackers can escalate privileges, but the advisory states an attacker must first be able to execute high-privileged code on the target. ZDI assigned a CVSS score of 7.5; no CVE identifier is listed in the advisory text.

ZDI-26-682: Linux Kernel IPv6 Neighbour Discovery Uninitialized Memory Information Disclosure Vulnerability

ZDI discloses an uninitialized-memory flaw in Linux kernel IPv6 neighbor discovery (CVE-2026-43040, CVSS 6.0) allowing information disclosure by already-privileged local attackers.

ZDI advisory ZDI-26-682 describes an uninitialized memory vulnerability in the Linux kernel's IPv6 Neighbour Discovery code, tracked as CVE-2026-43040 with a CVSS score of 6.0. Exploitation requires the attacker to already execute high-privileged code on the target, which severely limits practical impact to kernel memory information disclosure. No active exploitation is mentioned.
