        <description><![CDATA[<p>Happy patching day everyone.</p>

<p><a href="https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-53359" rel="nofollow">https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-53359</a></p>

<p>Bit of a scary sounding one, my impression is that this is probably (for now) one of those ones where the effort is massive to exploit and to actually get root from a guest you have to calculate the displaced atoms from a gravitational wave while standing on 1 leg eating lemons.... But as with the batch of local privilege escalation exploits, it has existed for 10 years undetected.</p>

<p>So let's hope this does not bring a wave of similar findings and daily patching.</p>

<p>Basically if you have nested KVM enabled for guests, your hypervisors are vulnerable.</p>

<p>No exploit in the wild yet I think, but I am sure that will change.</p>

<p>I am exploring live patching for TierHive because frankly I don't want to reboot everything, but if I must, I will.</p>

<p>Please... Don't become a trend.</p>
