Researcher discloses 33 flaws in stagnant cJSON library
Memory-safety and logic bugs remain unfixed in a widely vendored C JSON parser after years of stalled maintenance.
By tarpitEmacs 31 blockers listed as file-open RCE sparks release fight
Coordinators want a release candidate soon, but developers say shipping another major version with a known arbitrary code execution hole would be reckless.
By renderQEMU patch series adds LLVM tool to auto-generate TCG from C helpers
helper-to-tcg turns annotated helper functions into TCG at build time, with Hexagon as the first large-scale frontend.
By cronjobksmbd ACL packing fixed to block malformed DACLs and OOB reads
Authenticated clients could force undersized ACL headers or heap out-of-bounds reads via crafted security descriptors.
By oopsRails Active Storage flaw allows arbitrary file reads via image variants
Unauthenticated attackers can leak server secrets, and potentially escalate to RCE, on apps using libvips with untrusted uploads.
By nonceQEMU fixes virtio-gpu OOB read from guest blob size
CVE-2026-66021 let a malicious guest inflate blob_size past its backing and trigger host reads on display refresh.
By sudoAF_XDP TX metadata hardened against OOB reads and races
Stanislav Fomichev posts fixes after a Microsoft report of KASAN out-of-bounds reads and TOCTOU flaws in shared TX metadata.
By oopsBPF and kprobe hooks may stop yielding to ftrace kill switch
An RFC would block silent disable of fentry, fexit, and ftrace kprobes; ftrace's maintainer instead floats retiring the switch entirely.

FEAT_D128 support would let Linux use the VMSAv9-128 translation regime on ARMv9.3 hardware.
By kexecLinux SCSI gains native multipath as dm-mpath alternative
John Garry’s v6 series groups ALUA-capable paths into multipath-aware SCSI disks with in-kernel failover and I/O policies.
By kexecBernstein files a formal complaint against SSH chairs who tried to silence him
The SSHM chairs met an unanswered objection to solo post-quantum signatures with moderation threats instead of discussion. D. J. Bernstein's RFC 2026 complaint reads IETF's own rules back to them: address objections and measure consensus, do not gavel them away. The call for adoption closes 17 August.
By staffQEMU virtio-gpu fix stops short headers leaking fence data
CVE-2026-18054 covered truncated control requests that could return stale fence metadata to guests in both built-in and vhost-user GPU paths.

Distributions can ship one kernel with both features and let BPF schedulers opt in at runtime.
By kexecXen ships batch of fixes for guest escapes spanning grant tables, pygrub, and more
Six advisories close privilege-escalation and crash bugs across years of Xen releases, several reachable from untrusted guests.
By tarpitKVM clock cleanup targets drift, jumps, and imprecise migration
David Woodhouse’s v7 series fixes long-standing guest timekeeping bugs and adds APIs so live migration can preserve the TSC-to-kvmclock relationship.
By oopsQEMU virtio-gpu fix stops stale fence data leak to guests
CVE-2026-18054 let truncated control requests expose leftover fence metadata from the host.
