Public Exploits Released For Four Linux Kernel Flaws That Enable Local Root
A security researcher published working exploit code for four Linux kernel flaws—DirtyAH6, TUNderflow, PPPoEject, and DiagSpill—that can let a local attacker gain root on unpatched systems. The bugs have already been fixed in the Linux kernel, but older kernels remain at risk until they are updated, especially on systems using unprivileged...

OVSwrap Local Root Vulnerability (CVE-2026-64531): Exploit Details and PoC Publicly Disclosed
TL;DR The OVSwrap local root flaw lets an unprivileged user gain root on many Linux systems. It affects the kernel's Open vSwitch datapath and carries the ID CVE-2026-64531. Researcher Asim Manizada published the full write-up and a public proof-of-concept on July 28, 2026. Why it matters Open vSwitch ships on most Linux distributions as a loadable module. As a result, the attack surface reaches far past dedicated network hosts.
