These pages track how the distros and operating systems I have deployed are responding to
specific vulnerabilities — which releases are patched, which are still exposed, and
when the fixes shipped. Each tracker is updated twice daily with information from vendor
advisories and other sources. Updates are continued until every tracked release has a fix.
Five Unbound vulnerabilities fixed together on 2026-10-21, headlined by a
DNS-over-QUIC use-after-free, with two DNSSEC trust-island bypasses, a decompression
CPU exhaustion, and a cache side channel. Tracks Unbound in Debian, pkgsrc, and NixOS.
Five nginx core vulnerabilities fixed together on 2026-10-14, headlined by a worker
use-after-free when AIO serves SSI pages. Tracks both nginx tracks in Debian, pkgsrc,
and NixOS.
QEMU 9pfs race between Tlcreate and Twalk that lets a guest with a virtio-9p share
escape the shared directory, reading and writing host files and running code as the
QEMU process. Tracks the upstream stable backports and QEMU packages in Debian,
Proxmox VE, pkgsrc, NixOS, and Rocky Linux.
Unbound DNSSEC validator heap overflow: a DNSKEY whose owner name points into its own
RDATA overruns the digest buffer with attacker-controlled bytes, giving a malicious
zone a crash and possible remote code execution on any validating resolver made to
look it up. Also covers the canonicalisation overflow and the ReTrap complexity
attacks fixed in the same release.
Two critical PHP request-lifecycle flaws, leaked a day early and fixed in PHP 8.5.12,
8.4.27, 8.3.36, and 8.2.35 on 2026-10-21. Tracks every PHP branch in Debian, pkgsrc,
and NixOS.
Linux kernel TUN/TAP out-of-bounds write: an oversized receive headroom propagated
through Open vSwitch underflows the TUN linear-size computation and leaves
skb->data past its page-sized head. An unprivileged local user (via
user namespaces) or a container holding CAP_NET_ADMIN escalates to root,
and a working exploit is public. One of four bugs disclosed together with DirtyAH6,
PPPoEject, and DiagSpill.
PHP 8.5.11, 8.4.26, 8.3.35, and 8.2.34: twelve advisories across SOAP, PHP-FPM,
OpenSSL, the HTTP stream wrapper, Phar, and mysqlnd, including an unauthenticated
crash of any SOAP server and an IPv6 bypass of PHP-FPM's client allowlist. Tracks
which PHP branch each distribution release ships and whether it has that branch's fix.
