Massive Debian 13 Linux Kernel Security Update Patches 68 Vulnerabilities
↗
Two highlighted vulnerabilities are severe: a use-after-free in the traffic-control subsystem that can enable remote denial-of-service and potentially remote code execution, and a local-root flaw in Open vSwitch datapath that permits privilege escalation to root. Systems exposed to network traffic or hosting untrusted users are especially at risk and should be patched promptly.
