[UPDATE] [high] Linux Kernel: Multiple Vulnerabilities
A remote attacker can exploit multiple vulnerabilities in the Linux Kernel to gain root privileges, bypass security mechanisms, cause a denial-of-service condition, or achieve unspecified effects.
CSIRTS triage
- What
- A remote attacker can exploit multiple vulnerabilities in the Linux Kernel to gain root privileges, bypass security mechanisms, cause a denial-of-service condition, or achieve unspecified effects.
- Who is affected
- Deployments of the Linux Kernel are affected.
- Urgency
- Remediation is high urgency due to the potential for privilege escalation and denial of service.
- Action
- Update to the latest version of the Linux Kernel.

Exploitation outlook
EPSS (FIRST.org) estimates each CVE’s probability of exploitation in the next 30 days — here is the CSIRTS.com read on those numbers.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-316930.13% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 3% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-316940.28% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 21% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-316950.13% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 3% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-316960.13% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 3% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-316970.13% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 3% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-316980.13% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 3% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-316990.13% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 3% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-317000.10% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 1% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-317010.12% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 2% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
- Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-317020.12% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 2% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
