CVE-2026-90246 Sep 17, 16:07 HIGH PATCH This Week

An integer overflow in the Linux kernel's AppArmor verify_tags() bounds check allows an authenticated local attacker with low privileges to trigger an out-of-bounds read by loading a crafted AppArmor policy blob, primarily causing a kernel crash and limited potential information disclosure. Reachability requires the ability to manage AppArmor policy; under the default unprivileged_userns_apparmor_policy=1 setting an unprivileged user in a matched-level nested user namespace can reach the path, otherwise CAP_MAC_ADMIN in the initial user namespace is required. The assessed vector is AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H, no public exploit was identified at time of analysis, and vendor patches exist.

CVE-2026-90231 Sep 17, 16:07 HIGH PATCH This Week

AppArmor confinement escape in the Linux kernel allows a local user who is already confined by a profile stack to pass through an unconfined profile and break out of the enforced AppArmor security boundary, yielding high confidentiality and integrity impact with changed scope (CVSS 8.4, CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N). The defect is that the unprivileged-transition restriction on unconfined is not applied when a task is already stacked, so the escape succeeds if two transitions through an unconfined profile can be executed; exploitation is local only, requires an existing confined/stacked context plus policy that permits such transitions, and therefore concentrates on hosts that deploy AppArmor with these restrictions (primarily Ubuntu and SUSE). Vendor-released patches exist for 6.18.52, 7.2.6 and 7.3-rc1, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
