WTF Ubuntu? https://chalmovsky.com/posts/wtf-ubuntu
In case you missed it: CVE-2026-98432 is a critical (CVSS 9.8) bug in the Linux kernel's TCP code. It's been there since 2016, so virtually every Linux server on the planet has it, and it can be hit remotely. Anthropic says it built a working exploit that gets root on a server. A total takeover.
Debian patched it on October 16. Ubuntu still doesn't have a patch more than two weeks later. Every supported release, LTS included, is listed as "Vulnerable".
Critical vulnerability in Linux network start, this is a nightmare scenario, I am shutting down some servers until there is a fix (and it is not Sunday night for me to fix it)

Linux-Kernel: Sicherheitslücke ermöglicht Fernzugriff
Eine Sicherheitslücke im Netzwerk-Stack des Linux-Kernels ermöglicht es Angreifern, aus der Ferne und ohne Benutzerinteraktion beliebige Befehle mit Root-Rechten auszuführen.

🚨 Critical Linux kernel flaw could allow remote root code execution; CVE-2026-98432
A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux IPv4 TCP handshake path allows an unauthenticated attacker to trigger memory corruption by sending specially timed packets to a listening service.
Successful exploitation could crash the system or potentially execute arbitrary code as root.
⠀
• CVSS: 9.8
• Affected: Linux kernel 4.4 and later
• Attack vector: Network
• Privileges required: None
• User interaction: None
• Active exploitation: Not reported
⠀
Fixed kernel branches:
• 5.10.272
• 5.15.223
• 6.1.190
• 6.6.159
• 6.12.113
• 6.18.56
• 7.2.10
• 7.3
⠀
Administrators should install their distribution’s updated kernel and reboot to activate the fix.

Ubuntu is shitty software and backporting is flawed

Bin irritiert, dass für Debian schön länger Kernelpatches bereitstehen, aber man bei Ubuntu irgendwie hängt (CVE Score 9,8).
It's really funny Ubuntu hasn't shipped a fix for CVE-2026-98432 yet because the fix is a +2/-2 diff that applies cleanly to their kernels and the entire reason they haven't been able to get an update out the door is due to deep organisational dysfunction within Canonical.

what the heck?
CVE-2026-98432 is a CVSS 9.8 remote use-after-free in Linux's IPv4 TCP handshake, fixed upstream Oct 15. Ubuntu and RHEL haven't shipped a fixed kernel yet.
Anza has urged Solana mainnet-beta validators to act on CVE-2026-98432, a critical Linux kernel use-after-free bug scored 9.8 that lets a remote attacker run commands as root. Ubuntu still lists the fix as work in progress, so operators should disable Multipath TCP. A host takeover could expose the validator identity key. https://thedefiant.io/news/security/anza-urges-solana-validators-to-act-on-critical-linux-flaw #Web3 #Blockchain #Solana
9.8 CVE in Linux kernel: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98432
"Linux's stable kernels shipped a fix on October 11 and 15, 2026 for CVE-2026-98432, a use-after-free in the IPv4 TCP handshake that a remote, unauthenticated peer can reach. The kernel's own CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) scores it CVSS 3.1 9.8, Critical. The fixed releases are 5.10.272, 5.15.223, 6.1.190, 6.6.159, 6.12.113, 6.18.56, 7.2.10, and 7.3, and the bug goes back to Linux 4.4. The upstream fix is a four-line change, but most servers run a distribution's kernel. Red Hat, which now rates the bug Critical too, shipped fixed kernels for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8, 9, and 10 on November 1. As of 6:15 PM CST that day, Ubuntu's tracker still reads "Vulnerable" for its kernel on every release.
Why it's urgent: the bug sits in code every Linux server runs when it accepts an IPv4 TCP connection, before any application sees the connection. Anthropic, whose researcher reported it, says its Claude model wrote a working proof-of-concept exploit that runs commands as root on "Linux servers with a multipath TCP listener," with no credentials. Go programs open those listeners by default, per the Go Security Team."

Ivanti patches two more Connect Secure zero-days chained in attacks
Ivanti has released security updates patching two more Connect Secure flaws, CVE-2026-111357 and CVE-2026-118527, that attackers have chained in zero-day attacks since at least October 1, BleepingComputer reports. Chained with an authentication bypass flaw patched last month, the flaws let attackers gain unauthenticated root-level access to the remote access gateways, and Shadowserver tracks more than 5,000 internet-exposed instances. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/ivanti-patches-two-more-connect-secure-zero-days-chained-in-attacks/
Threat actors exploited these two flaws (tracked as CVE-2026-111357 and CVE-2026-118527) alongside an authentication bypass vulnerability (CVE-2026-104935), which Ivanti patched last month to remove the main attack surface. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/ivanti-patches-two-more-connect-secure-zero-days-chained-in-attacks/
