CVE-2026-46333 – Linux Kernel

This patch addresses CVE-2026-46333 in the Linux kernel, a High severity vulnerability that can allow attackers to escalate privileges on affected systems. The CVSS score is 7.1, which is High severity. The update corrects improper handling within kernel operations that could be abused by a local user to gain elevated access.

Proof-of-concept code is available, confirming that exploitation is achievable under the right conditions. Systems that allow untrusted local access or run shared workloads face increased risk, as attackers could move from limited access to full administrative control.
