Bulletin ID: 2026-029-AWS Scope: AWS Content Type: Important (requires attention) Publication Date: 05/13/2026 18:45 PM PDT This is an ongoing issue. Information is subject to change. Please refer to our Security Bulletin (ID: 2026-030-AWS) for the most updated patching information. Description: Amazon is aware of CVE-2026-46300, a report of an additional privilege escalation issue in the Linux kernel related to the DirtyFrag, copy.fail class of issues (CVE-2026-43284). The proof of concept uses a vector via the loadable module espintcp. Amazon Linux does not provide this module, and is not affected. As defense in depth we will include a correctness patch to the core networking code to harden against possible similar issues in network protocol implementations that rely on this behavior.

libbabl 0.1.62 contains a broken double free detection vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass memory safety checks by exploiting signature overwriting in freed chunks. Attackers can call babl_free() twice on the same pointer without triggering detection, as libc's malloc metadata overwrites babl's signature field upon freeing, enabling potential memory corruption and code execution.
