Summary
linux-gcp-5.15 vulnerabilities
Details

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)

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: - Cryptographic API; - Ethernet bonding driver; - SMB network file system; - Netfilter; - io_uring subsystem; - Packet sockets; - TLS protocol; (CVE-2024-35862, CVE-2024-50060, CVE-2026-23274, CVE-2026-23351, CVE-2026-31419, CVE-2026-31504, CVE-2026-31533, CVE-2026-43033, CVE-2026-43077, CVE-2026-43078)
