CVE-2026-31488 is a reminder that in the Linux graphics stack, seemingly small state-machine mistakes can cascade into serious memory-safety failures. The flaw sits in amdgpu’s Display Core path, wher
CVE-2026-31496: Linux Netfilter Conntrack Expectations Procfs Namespace Leak Fix
CVE-2026-31496 is a narrowly scoped Linux kernel vulnerability, but it sits in one of the kernel’s most security-sensitive corners: netfilter and conntrack expectations. The newly published record say
CVE-2026-31496: Netfilter conntrack expectation leak across Linux network namespaces
The Linux kernel’s latest netfilter CVE, tracked as CVE-2026-31496, is a small-sounding change with outsized importance for anyone who relies on conntrack visibility in production. The bug lives in nf
CVE-2026-31487 Fix: SPI Driver Override Race Leads to Use-After-Free
