A crafted VVC bitstream that redefines an ALF APS can hit freed memory; the fix commit is 1eddb30.

Eight CVEs had lab-confirmed local root exploits; fixes for 38 reports are in mainline, and bugs averaged 8.1 years old.

Stable builds 157.0.8103.50 and .51 fix a use-after-free in Chrome's XML parser; attack details stay restricted.
The XML use-after-free is Chrome’s eighth zero-day this year; CISA wants users patched before November 24.
Xen-blkback driver fails to serialize reads of I/O statistics allowing use-after-free during device teardown.

Stable builds 157.0.8103.50 and .51 close nine flaws; Google has not confirmed code execution or named attackers.

Stable builds 157.0.8103.50/.51 close the high-severity bug; Google is withholding details until most users update.
ZDI rates CVE-2026-121741 at CVSS 7.8; the target must open a malicious file or visit a malicious page.
Data races in connection-pooling state data and races between teardown and error-handling can cause double-frees and use-after-frees.
ZDI-26-872 discloses a use-after-free in Ashlar-Vellum Cobalt XE file parsing that enables arbitrary code execution with user interaction.
CVE-2021-3640 can crash the system or possibly run code locally; CVE-2022-49058 is also fixed.
A local attacker can crash the system via CVE-2022-1205; other listed flaws could compromise the system.
Anthropic researcher reported a PoC for remote root access on Linux servers with multipath TCP listeners.

Anthropic says an unreleased Claude model built a root exploit in about 53 minutes; no in-the-wild attacks are confirmed.
Since Go 1.24, Linux listen sockets enable MPTCP by default; turning it off is only a fragile stopgap.

The kernel use-after-free scores 9.8, hits branches back to 4.4, and needs an exposed MPTCP listener.

Ubuntu lists kernels through 22.04 LTS as affected, with fixes still in progress and no confirmed exploitation.

Upstream CVSS is 9.8 and Red Hat scores 5.9; Anthropic’s root chain used a lab Multipath TCP listener.
The confirmed build is 2.5-DEV-rev1593-gfe88c3545-master; CISA ADP scores it 5.5 for local availability impact only.

Anthropic says Claude built a remote root exploit via MPTCP, a link absent from the CVE and fix.

Anthropic calls it a lab test, not a real incident; upstream kernels are patched but several Ubuntu releases remain vulnerable.
ZDI rates CVE-2026-98231 at CVSS 7.8; low-privileged local code execution is required first.

Stable builds move to 156.0.8078.73/.74 on Windows and Mac and 156.0.8078.73 on Linux, with no exploitation stated.

Google shipped 52 fixes, four rated Critical, and Mozilla fixed 167 bugs; both credited AI-assisted bug finding.
