* kernel: scsi: qla2xxx: Fix improper freeing of purex item (CVE-2025-68741)

* kernel: Linux kernel: Use-after-free in traffic control (act_ct) may lead to denial of service or privilege escalation (CVE-2026-23270)

* kernel: Linux kernel KVM: Privilege escalation or denial of service due to improper shadow page table entry handling (CVE-2026-23401)

* kernel: nfsd: fix heap overflow in NFSv4.0 LOCK replay cache (CVE-2026-31402)

* kernel: Bluetooth: SCO: Fix use-after-free in sco_recv_frame() due to missing sock_hold (CVE-2026-31408)

* kernel: usbip: validate number_of_packets in usbip_pack_ret_submit() (CVE-2026-31607)

* kernel: RDMA/umem: Fix double dma_buf_unpin in failure path (CVE-2026-43128)

* kernel: Dirty Frag is a new universal Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability in the Linux kernel (CVE-2026-43284)

* kernel: Fragnesia is a variant of Dirty Frag vulnerability in the ESP/XFRM leading to Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) vulnerability in the Linux kernel (CVE-2026-46300)

* kernel: Read root-owned files as an unprivileged user (CVE-2026-46333)
