CISA Flags Three Linux Kernel Vulnerabilities Exploited in the Wild
CISA has added three Linux kernel flaws — including CVE-2025-39682 at CVSS 9.8 — to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue, confirming active in-the-wild exploitation and triggering mandatory federal patching deadlines that European organisations should mirror as a risk benchmark.
Summary written by editorial AI · Source link below
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Friday added three security flaws impacting the Linux kernel to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation.
The vulnerabilities are listed below -
CVE-2025-39682 (CVSS score: 9.8) - An improper check for unusual or exceptional conditions vulnerability in the TLS receive path
Editorial Analysis
KEV listing confirms real-world attacks using these kernel flaws; European enterprises subject to NIS2 should treat CISA's KEV as an early-warning proxy for their own patching obligations.
Patch all Linux systems against these three CVEs immediately and document remediation timelines for regulatory audit readiness.
Three Linux kernel vulnerabilities are confirmed under active attack — immediate patching is required to prevent full system compromise.
