Coverage
oldest first · one row per article · UTCLinux kernel qdisc flaw allows local privilege escalation (CVE-2026-98797)
ZDI rates CVE-2026-98797 at CVSS 8.8; exploitation requires existing low-privileged code execution.
Linux ksmbd out-of-bounds read can leak information
CVE-2026-64138 requires authentication and affects only systems with ksmbd enabled.
Unauthenticated Linux ksmbd flaw can disclose information
Only kernels with ksmbd enabled are affected; ZDI rates the issue CVSS 6.3.
Linux kernel GSM race allows local privilege escalation (CVE-2024-50073)
Exploitation requires existing high-privileged code; ZDI assigned a CVSS rating of 7.5.
