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.
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-26-699: Linux Kernel NTFS3 Out-of-Bounds Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability
ZDI-26-699: Linux Kernel NTFS3 out-of-bounds read (CVSS 5.2) lets local low-privileged attackers disclose sensitive information.
ZDI advisory ZDI-26-699 describes an out-of-bounds read in the Linux Kernel NTFS3 driver rated CVSS 5.2. An attacker must already have the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system to trigger the flaw. Successful exploitation results in information disclosure. No CVE identifier is listed in the advisory.
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-26-570: Linux Kernel IGMP Subsystem Race Condition Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
ZDI publishes ZDI-26-570, a CVSS 7.5 race condition local privilege escalation in the Linux kernel's IGMP subsystem.
The Zero Day Initiative disclosed a race condition in the Linux kernel's IGMP subsystem that allows local attackers to escalate privileges. Exploitation requires the attacker to first execute high-privileged code on the target system. ZDI assigned a CVSS rating of 7.5 to this finding; no CVE id is stated in the advisory text.
ZDI-26-572: Linux Kernel XFRM Race Condition Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
ZDI publishes ZDI-26-572, a CVSS 7.5 race condition local privilege escalation in the Linux kernel's XFRM subsystem.
The Zero Day Initiative disclosed a race condition in the Linux kernel's XFRM (transform) subsystem allowing local attackers to escalate privileges. Exploitation requires the attacker to first run high-privileged code on the affected system. The advisory carries a CVSS rating of 7.5; no CVE id is listed in the disclosure text.
ZDI-26-569: Linux Kernel Net Scheduler True Link Equalizer Race Condition Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
ZDI publishes ZDI-26-569, a CVSS 7.5 race condition local privilege escalation in the Linux kernel net scheduler true link equalizer.
The Zero Day Initiative disclosed a race condition in the Linux kernel's net scheduler true link equalizer component enabling local privilege escalation.

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.
Linux Zoom Client Proactively Reads X11 Clipboard
Simon Tatham reports that Zoom's Linux client proactively reads the X11 clipboard, potentially exposing copied passwords and other sensitive data.
A Mastodon post by Simon Tatham, shared via Lobsters, reports that the Linux Zoom client proactively reads the X11 system clipboard rather than accessing it only on explicit paste. Because X11 allows any running application to query clipboard contents, secrets such as copied passwords or tokens may be captured by the app. The observation highlights the broader privacy gap between X11's unrestricted clipboard access and more restricted display servers like Wayland.
