unknownpublic exploitCVE-2026-43083 CVE-2026-43197 CVE-2026-43198 CVE-2026-43465 CVE-2026-46242 CVE-2026-46325

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: - x86 architecture; - InfiniBand drivers; - Network drivers; - Mellanox network drivers; - File systems infrastructure; - IPv4 networking; - Network traffic control; - TCP network protocol; - B.A.T.M.A.N. meshing protocol; - IPv6 networking; - Multipath TCP; - Netfilter; - RxRPC session sockets; - SCTP protocol; - SMC sockets; (CVE-2026-43083, CVE-2026-43197, CVE-2026-43198, CVE-2026-43465, CVE-2026-46242, CVE-2026-46325, CVE-2026-46331, CVE-2026-52914, CVE-2026-52924, CVE-2026-52931, CVE-2026-53151, CVE-2026-53176, CVE-2026-53212, CVE-2026-53215, CVE-2026-53225, CVE-2026-53228, CVE-2026-53359)

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-2026-430830.44% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 37% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-431970.48% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 39% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-431980.30% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 22% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-434650.41% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 35% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
Moderate exploitation riskCVE-2026-462423.2% 30-day exploitation probability. Patch within normal cadence, watch for KEV listing. Riskier than 87% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
Low exploitation riskCVE-2026-463250.35% 30-day exploitation probability — currently an unlikely target, but scores change as exploit code circulates. Riskier than 28% of all EPSS-scored CVEs.
