Exploit Released for Unpatched Ubuntu Linux Flaw Enabling Host-Root Container Escape

Exploit Released for Unpatched Ubuntu Linux Flaw Enabling Host-Root Container Escape

A use-after-free in the Linux kernel's AF_UNIX socket subsystem can be used to escape a container and gain root on the host, security firm DepthFirst said in research published September 22. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-80521 (CVSS score: 7.8), was fixed upstream on August 6, but Ubuntu has not shipped the patch for its 26.04, 24.04, or 22.04 LTS releases. DepthFirst

New Linux Kernel Flaw Gives ARM64 KVM Guests Read-Write Access to Host Memory

New Linux Kernel Flaw Gives ARM64 KVM Guests Read-Write Access to Host Memory

A new flaw in the Linux kernel's KVM virtualization code for ARM64 processors can leave a freed piece of host memory exposed to a guest virtual machine on hosts with nested virtualization enabled. The bug, tracked as CVE-2026-89775, allows a guest to read and write host kernel memory, and the researcher who found it says it can be used to escape the guest and run code on the host machine.

Public Exploits Released for Four Linux Kernel Flaws That Enable Local Root

Public Exploits Released for Four Linux Kernel Flaws That Enable Local Root

A security researcher has released working exploit code for four Linux kernel flaws that each let a local user gain root, the highest level of access on a machine. Kernel maintainers have fixed all four over the past few weeks, so a system running an up-to-date kernel is not affected. But the exploit code is now public, and any machine still running an older kernel should be updated. The flaws

'It's Definitely at the Top of Our List' – SteamOS Is Getting Closer to Nvidia Driver Support

'It's Definitely at the Top of Our List' – SteamOS Is Getting Closer to Nvidia Driver Support

One of the biggest goal's of Valve's latest wave of hardware wasn't necessarily to move as many units as possible, but to expand the reach of SteamOS , and it does seem like it's succeeded. There are now two things that are really standing in Valve's way in its quest to dethrone Windows 11 as the de facto gaming OS: anti-cheat and Nvidia graphics drivers. And it looks like the latter is going to be solved soon. Ahead of Steam Frame's launch, I got a chance to sit down with Valve software developers Pierre-Loup Griffais and Jeff Leinbaugh , and I asked how Nvidia support was coming along. "Yeah, we're working on it hard," Griffais told me. "It's definitely at the top of our list. It's one of those things just like FEX and working on the Qualcomm driver, it just takes years." That doesn't sound like the driver support is right around the corner, but it does seem like the team has at least got Nvidia GPUs working on the Linux OS, albeit with limited performance. "We've done a few things like we've enabled the driver now in the main tree of SteamOS," Griffais told me, "so you can get things to light up on certain generations, but in terms of the performance difference between that driver and where the state of the art is, there's definitely still a little bit of a rift that we're trying to work on, but it's getting better day-to-day." There are certainly versions of Linux that already work with Nvidia drivers, but Team Green's GPUs are always a bit of a hassle on the open-source operating system. Instead, for most people, gaming on Linux works best with AMD graphics cards , as that company has supported drivers on the operating system for years. But for Valve's goal of getting as many people on SteamOS as possible, getting Nvidia's cards working at full performance is incredibly important. According to the latest Steam Hardware Survey , Nvidia GPUs still make up for 72.88% of Steam's player base. Getting Nvidia graphics cards up and running reliably on SteamOS would be a huge win for Valve. Hopefully Valve is able to get these graphics cards working as intended on SteamOS soon, and then, maybe, we can finally get anti-cheat support on the operating system. Because, after all, unlocking the operating system for another 72% of the playerbase could cause a huge spike in players migrating from Windows, and that'd be hard to ignore for the Call of Dutys of the world.

FreeIPA Flaw Chain Lets Anonymous Clients Create Reusable Administrator Credentials

FreeIPA Flaw Chain Lets Anonymous Clients Create Reusable Administrator Credentials

A flaw in FreeIPA lets a client that has never logged in create a Kerberos identity of its own choosing in the directory and end up in the administrators group, Red Hat says. FreeIPA is the system that determines who may log in across a Linux domain and maintains all identities in a 389 Directory Server database accessed via LDAP. The attack needs a second flaw in that database software. The
