CVE-2026-43215
MediumSummary
A vulnerability related to locking usage for tcon fields in the Linux kernel has been resolved in the CIFS module. Previously, cifs_tcp_ses_lock was used to protect many objects, which has been improved by introducing dedicated locks for server, session, and tcon.
Risk Assessment
Improper lock management may lead to synchronization issues and potential data leaks. Organizations should be aware that unpatched versions may be vulnerable to attacks related to improper access to resources.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to the latest version to benefit from the fixes related to lock management in the CIFS module. Regular monitoring and updating of systems is crucial for maintaining security.

A flaw in Foreman allows an authenticated user with low-level Viewer permissions to cause unauthorized information disclosure by submitting requests to template preview endpoints. The user can access sensitive data such as host root passwords. Under insecure configurations with Safemode disabled, the flaw may also allow arbitrary command execution as the Foreman system account.
- CVE-2026-96658Critical
A flaw in Foreman allows an authenticated attacker with low-level permissions to achieve remote code execution (RCE) by bypassing the Safemode sandbox within the templating engine. Due to improper handling of delegated methods, the attacker can append unauthorized functions to the allowed execution list, enabling arbitrary command execution on the hosting server.
- CVE-2026-13043Critical
The Kernel Memory Access Driver (PSKMAD) used by WatchGuard endpoint security products does not properly enforce authentication. A local, authenticated attacker can bypass the driver's access-control handshake and issue arbitrary privileged commands to the driver, resulting in disclosure of kernel and process memory.

Classroom 50 prior to version 1.11.0, when running `gh teacher download`, clones each student's assignment repository and then writes autograde artifacts (`result.json` and `results.json`) into the just-cloned working tree. The write followed symlinks, so a student who committed `result.json` or `results.json` as a symlink could redirect the teacher's write to an arbitrary path (e.g. `~/.zshrc`, `~/.ssh/authorized_keys`, a cron file, or an in-clone `.git/hooks/*` file), with attacker-controlled bytes. This is an arbitrary file write leading to code execution as the teacher, whose `gh` token carries `admin:org`, `repo`, and `workflow` across the entire classroom organization.

In deployments using BoKS keytab management, affected versions of boks_keytabmd generate Active Directory service-account passwords from a predictable pseudo-random sequence seeded with the current Unix timestamp. An attacker who knows the service principal and can estimate the password-change time can reproduce a limited candidate set and verify candidates offline.

Fleet versions before 4.87.0 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the device API that accepts hostnames and hardware serials as authentication tokens in addition to device UUIDs. Unauthenticated attackers who know or guess these non-secret identifiers can authenticate as iOS/iPadOS hosts to read device data and trigger device-scoped actions including software installation and MDM migration.
