Summary
Qualys discovered that several vulnerabilities existed in the AppArmor
Linux kernel Security Module (LSM). An unprivileged local attacker could
use these issues to load, replace, and remove arbitrary AppArmor profiles
causing denial of service, exposure of sensitive information (kernel
memory), local privilege escalation, or possibly escape a container.
(LP: #2143853, CVE-2026-23268, CVE-2026-23269, CVE-2026-23403,
CVE-2026-23404, CVE-2026-23405, CVE-2026-23406, CVE-2026-23407,
CVE-2026-23408, CVE-2026-23409, CVE-2026-23410, CVE-2026-23411)
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
- ARM64 architecture;
- Cryptographic API;
- Netfilter;
- Network traffic control;
(CVE-2025-37849, CVE-2026-23060, CVE-2026-23074, CVE-2026-23111)
