Dirty Frag (CVE-2026-43284, CVE-2026-43500): The Page-Cache Write Class Skips algif_aead and Lands Back at Root
Hyunwoo Kim’s Dirty Frag chain extends the Dirty Pipe / Copy Fail class to skb paged fragments. The xfrm ESP receive path provides a deterministic 4-byte page-cache store (CVE-2026-43284); the rxrpc receive path provides a namespace-free trigger (CVE-2026-43500). One PoC, no race, root on Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux, Fedora, and openSUSE — including hosts that already blocklisted algif_aead for Copy Fail.
