CVE-2026-97568 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Amazon-Linux:2023 python3-perf to version 1:6.1.189-236.399.amzn2023 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALAS2023-2026-3336.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python3-perf package and not the python3-perf package as distributed by Amazon-Linux.
See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.
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 subflow_ulp_clone().
To fix this, no need to extend the join_entry structure: backup is coming from struct mptcp_subflow_request_sock, only one bit. Do the same here by using one bit for both.
