CISA adds Linux kernel Fragnesia and VMware ESX flaws to KEV catalog
What happened.CISA added the Linux kernel Fragnesia privilege escalation flaw and a VMware ESX logging defect to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog following active in-the-wild exploitation.
Why it matters.Container environments and service sandboxes rely entirely on kernel memory boundaries. When network socket handling allows unprivileged processes to alter file-backed memory caches directly, local access controls fail completely. Systems administrators must upgrade host kernels and virtualized infrastructure nodes immediately. Engineering teams should audit system logs for unauthorized TCP encapsulation activity.
