In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_event: call disconnect callback before deleting conn
In hci_cs_disconnect, we do hci_conn_del even if disconnection failed.
ISO, L2CAP and SCO connections refer to the hci_conn without
hci_conn_get, so disconn_cfm must be called so they can clean up their
conn, otherwise use-after-free occurs.

CVE-2026-23206 [HIGH] Linux kernel (Xilinx ZynqMP) vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel (Xilinx ZynqMP) vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
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)
It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly handle shared page
fragments during socket buffer operations, collectively known as Dirty
Frag. A logic flaw existed in the XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem and in the
RxRPC networking subsystem when processing paged fragments. A local
attacker could use this to escalate privileges, or possibly escape a
container. (CVE-2026-43284, CVE-2026-43500)
