UBUNTU-CVE-2026-97568: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

Published Sep 25, 2026
·
Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mptcp: syncookies: remember the request backup flag Instead of using an uninitialised bit when copying the info in subflowulpclone(). To fix this, no need to extend the joinentry structure: backup is coming from struct mptcpsubflowrequestsock, only one bit. Do the same here by using one bit for both.
