Linux Kernel TCP Flaw With 9.8 CVSS Score Affects Ubuntu, Red Hat and Other Distributions
https://thehackernews.com/2026/10/li...h-98-cvss.html
Ordinary desktop use is considerably different from the internet-facing servers targeted in the demonstrated exploit. Nevertheless, the underlying kernel vulnerability is real, and I'd install Canonical's fix as soon as it becomes available.
Keep an eye on this one, but no need to lose sleep over it.
Canonical's advisory:https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-98432?utm
