CVSS 10.0; every CE/EE version from 7.0 (2014) is in range. Instances that only applied the Oct 12 regex fix remain vulnerable and must upgrade again.CVE-2026-110264#Dev tools & CI#GitLab#RCEcriticalliveunpatchedsince Oct 21, 2026updated Oct 22, 2026, 16:20 UTCLinux kernel: unpatched ZDI bug reports with repro details leaked to public LKML (ksmbd RCE, CVSS 9.0)› Linux kernel: ksmbd (in-kernel SMB server) and SMB Direct, skbuff/NFQUEUE networking, vmwgfx, nvmetOn Oct 21, Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative sent several unpatched Linux kernel vulnerability reports to [email protected] but Cc'd the public linux-kernel and subsystem lists, so full technical details (code paths, KASAN traces) are now public before fixes ship. The worst are two ksmbd (in-kernel SMB server) remote code execution bugs that ZDI scores CVSS 9.0: an SMB Direct integer underflow (needs an RDMA device and a writable share) and a protocol-dispatch race (needs a guest share). Also leaked: an skb_zerocopy local privilege escalation (CVSS 7.8), a vmwgfx out-of-bounds write LPE, and an nvmet info leak. No CVEs yet and no fixed mainline or stable release; the ksmbd race fix sits in the ksmbd maintainer tree and an SMB Direct fix is in a branch aimed at Linux 7.5.

An attacker who captures a GSS-TSIG signed UDP message (the Kerberos signing used for Active Directory-style dynamic DNS updates) can replay it while the negotiated key is still valid and, combined with crafted queries to a zone they control, may get remote code execution, or at least crash named.

The headline issue is CVE-2026-111497, a high-severity Brotli decoder out-of-bounds write that can enable remote code execution when attacker-controlled Brotli data is decoded. The same release also fixes TLS hostname/IP bypasses and DNS NUL truncation, and refreshes the bundled CA store for the eMudhra incident.CVE-2026-111497CVE-2026-105482CVE-2026-105483CVE-2026-106069+6 more#Node.js#eMudhra#TLS#RCEhighlivepartial fixsince Oct 21, 2026updated Oct 22, 2026, 16:00 UTCRailway discloses unauthorized access to customer environment variables› Railway (hosted platform)On Oct 21 2026 Railway reported anomalous activity on systems storing customer environment variables. An unauthorized third party may have accessed encrypted env vars and, for some, obtained decrypted contents (API keys, DB/registry credentials). Railway says it believes this is part of a series of attacks on platform companies aimed at compromising AI inference providers, and asked upstream providers to revoke keys. Builds were paused platform-wide for ~a day; on Oct 22 they were restored for Enterprise and Pro, with Hobby/Free/Trial still pending.
