WTF Ubuntu?
WTF Ubuntu?
Brief overview
Anthropic has developed an exploit that can remotely exploit the CVE-2026-98432 vulnerability to gain server root privileges. The Linux kernel TCP vulnerability has existed since 2016, Debian has fixed it since October 16, but Ubuntu has not released a patch until November 2. All supported Ubuntu versions (including LTS) are listed as vulnerable, and its official website promises to fix critical vulnerabilities in a timely manner, but the actual response is severely delayed.
