In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: 9p/xen: protect xen_9pfs_front_free against concurrent calls The xenwatch thread can race with other back-end change notifications and call xen_9pfs_front_free() twice, hitting the observed general protection fault due to a double-free. Guard the teardown path so only one caller can release the front-end state at a time, preventing the crash. This is a fix for the following double-free: [ 27.052347] Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC NOPTI [ 27.052357] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 32 Comm: xenwatch Not tainted 6.18.0-02087-g51ab33fc0a8b-dirty #60 PREEMPT(none) [ 27.052363] RIP: e030:xen_9pfs_front_free+0x1d/0x150 [ 27.052368] Code: 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 90 41 55 41 54 55 48 89 fd 48 c7 c7 48 d0 92 85 53 e8 cb cb 05 00 48 8b 45 08 48 8b 55 00 <48> 3b 28 0f 85 f9 28 35 fe 48 3b 6a 08 0f 85 ef 28 35 fe 48 89 42 [ 27.052377] RSP: e02b:ffffc9004016fdd0 EFLAGS: 00010246 [ 27.052381] RAX: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b RBX: ffff88800d66e400 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 27.052385] RDX: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: 0000000000000000 [ 27.052389] RBP: ffff88800a887040 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 27.052393] R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff888009e46b68 [ 27.052397] R13: 0000000000000200 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff88800a887040 [ 27.052404] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88808ca57000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 27.052408] CS: e030 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 27.052412] CR2: 00007f9714004360 CR3: 0000000004834000 CR4: 0000000000050660 [ 27.052418] Call Trace: [ 27.052420] <TASK> [ 27.052422] xen_9pfs_front_changed+0x5d5/0x720 [ 27.052426] ? xenbus_otherend_changed+0x72/0x140 [ 27.052430] ? __pfx_xenwatch_thread+0x10/0x10 [ 27.052434] xenwatch_thread+0x94/0x1c0 [ 27.052438] ? __pfx_autoremove_wake_function+0x10/0x10 [ 27.052442] kthread+0xf8/0x240 [ 27.052445] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 27.052449] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 27.052452] ret_from_fork+0x16b/0x1a0 [ 27.052456] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 27.052459] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 [ 27.052463] </TASK> [ 27.052465] Modules linked in: [ 27.052471] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8497-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly handle shared page fragments during socket buffer     operations, collectively known as Dirty Frag. A logic flaw existed in the XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem and in     the RxRPC networking subsystem when processing paged fragments. A local attacker could use this to     escalate privileges, or possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-43284, CVE-2026-43500, CVE-2026-45998,     CVE-2026-46000)

    It was discovered that a logic flaw existed in the XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel when     handling socket buffer fragments. This flaw is known as Fragnesia. A local attacker could use this to     escalate privileges, or possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-43503, CVE-2026-46300)

    Qualys discovered that a race condition existed in the ptrace subsystem of the Linux kernel when     privileged processes are exiting. An unprivileged local attacker could use this issue to expose sensitive     information. (CVE-2026-46333)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contain a memory leak when handling     AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause resource exhaustion. (CVE-2026-47326)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contain a NULL pointer dereference     when handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause a kernel oops.
    (CVE-2026-47327)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contained an invalid free when     handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to corrupt kernel memory.
    (CVE-2026-47328)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contained insufficient validation of     AppArmor notification responses. A local attacker could use this to allow crafted responses to be     processed. (CVE-2026-47329)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 used an uninitialized variable when     handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause incorrect caching of data.
    (CVE-2026-47330)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8 contained a use- after-free (UAF) bug. A local     attacker could use this to cause memory corruption and, theoretically, arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2026-47331)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contained an out-of-bounds (OOB) read     when handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause information disclosure of     kernel memory. (CVE-2026-47332)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contained a out-of-bounds (OOB) read     when handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause kernel memory corruption     and, theoretically, influence processing of AppArmor policies. (CVE-2026-47333)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contained incorrect holding of locks     when handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause a kernel panic or deadlock.
    (CVE-2026-47334)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8 contained a NULL pointer dereference when handling     AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause a kernel panic. (CVE-2026-47335)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8 used an uninitialized variable when handling     AppArmor AF_INET/AF_INET6 socket mediation. A local attacker could use this to influence processing of     fine- grained network socket mediation. (CVE-2026-47336)

    Tristan Madani and Trevor Lawrence have each independently discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17     and 7.0 contained a NULL pointer dereference when handling AppArmor network socket mediation. A local     attacker could use this to cause a kernel oops. (CVE-2026-47337)

The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8499-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the Linux kernel algif_aead module did not properly handle in-place cryptographic     operations. This flaw is known as Copy Fail. A local attacker could use this to escalate privileges, or     possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-31431)

    It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly handle shared page fragments during socket buffer     operations, collectively known as Dirty Frag. A logic flaw existed in the XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem and in     the RxRPC networking subsystem when processing paged fragments. A local attacker could use this to     escalate privileges, or possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-43284, CVE-2026-43500, CVE-2026-45998,     CVE-2026-46000)

    It was discovered that a logic flaw existed in the XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel when     handling socket buffer fragments. This flaw is known as Fragnesia. A local attacker could use this to     escalate privileges, or possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-43503, CVE-2026-46300)

    Qualys discovered that a race condition existed in the ptrace subsystem of the Linux kernel when     privileged processes are exiting. An unprivileged local attacker could use this issue to expose sensitive     information. (CVE-2026-46333)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contain a memory leak when handling     AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause resource exhaustion. (CVE-2026-47326)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contain a NULL pointer dereference     when handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause a kernel oops.
    (CVE-2026-47327)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contained an invalid free when     handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to corrupt kernel memory.
    (CVE-2026-47328)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contained insufficient validation of     AppArmor notification responses. A local attacker could use this to allow crafted responses to be     processed. (CVE-2026-47329)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 used an uninitialized variable when     handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause incorrect caching of data.
    (CVE-2026-47330)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8 contained a use- after-free (UAF) bug. A local     attacker could use this to cause memory corruption and, theoretically, arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2026-47331)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contained an out-of-bounds (OOB) read     when handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause information disclosure of     kernel memory. (CVE-2026-47332)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contained a out-of-bounds (OOB) read     when handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause kernel memory corruption     and, theoretically, influence processing of AppArmor policies. (CVE-2026-47333)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17 and 7.0 contained incorrect holding of locks     when handling AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause a kernel panic or deadlock.
    (CVE-2026-47334)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8 contained a NULL pointer dereference when handling     AppArmor notifications. A local attacker could use this to cause a kernel panic. (CVE-2026-47335)

    Tristan Madani discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8 used an uninitialized variable when handling     AppArmor AF_INET/AF_INET6 socket mediation. A local attacker could use this to influence processing of     fine- grained network socket mediation. (CVE-2026-47336)

    Tristan Madani and Trevor Lawrence have each independently discovered that Ubuntu Linux kernel 6.8, 6.17     and 7.0 contained a NULL pointer dereference when handling AppArmor network socket mediation. A local     attacker could use this to cause a kernel oops. (CVE-2026-47337)

  - 9p/xen: protect xen_9pfs_front_free against concurrent calls The xenwatch thread can race with other back-     end change notifications and call xen_9pfs_front_free() twice, hitting the observed general protection     fault due to a double-free. Guard the teardown path so only one caller can release the front-end state at     a time, preventing the crash. This is a fix for the following double-free: [ 27.052347] Oops: general     protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC     NOPTI [ 27.052357] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 32 Comm: xenwatch Not tainted 6.18.0-02087-g51ab33fc0a8b-dirty #60     PREEMPT(none) [ 27.052363] RIP: e030:xen_9pfs_front_free+0x1d/0x150 [ 27.052368] Code: 90 90 90 90 90 90     90 90 90 90 90 90 90 41 55 41 54 55 48 89 fd 48 c7 c7 48 d0 92 85 53 e8 cb cb 05 00 48 8b 45 08 48 8b 55     00 <48> 3b 28 0f 85 f9 28 35 fe 48 3b 6a 08 0f 85 ef 28 35 fe 48 89 42 [ 27.052377] RSP:
