Greg Kroah-Hartman has announced the release of the 7.2.11, 6.18.57,
6.12.113, 6.6.159, 6.1.190,
5.15.223, and 5.10.272 stable kernels. This series includes,
among other things, a fix for a
critical vulnerability (CVE-2026-99999). The
flaw in skb_checksum_help()
would allow an IPv4 packet with bad checksum metadata to “corrupt the network
header and cause a bunch of mischief” in the words of patch author Michael
S. Tsirkin. As usual, all users are advised to upgrade.
