It's a logic flaw in the kernel's crypto code (authencesn via AF_ALG and splice()) that allows a small write into the page cache, which can be used to tamper with a setuid binary like /usr/bin/su.
Think how bad this is going to be for shared environments like Kubernetes, CI runners, and cloud sandboxes, where it enables container escape and tenant-to-host compromise.
Found by Theori's Xint Code scanner, patched in the mainline kernel, and publicly disclosed on April 29, 2026; if you can't patch right away, the recommended workaround is to disable the algif_aead module.
Already five years, Time flies so quickly... At the end of 2021, I developed #fastfinder to simplify triage using #YARA. 2026 is an opportunity to reinvest time in this project with a V3 featuring tons of new features #DFIR#CERT#threathunting

I analyzed 250 PingCastle Reports, grouping the findings along the categories I used for my 10 AD Commandments series.
The number of affected domains is stated within each finding, i.e., in how many domains we found the misconfiguration or the vulnerability.
Many missed this on #BadSuccessor: it’s also a credential dumper.
I wrote a simple PowerShell script that uses Rubeus to dump Kerberos keys and NTLM hashes for every principal-krbtgt, users, machines. no DCSync required, no code execution on DC.
And here's a little project
to monitor network traffic and logging directly over endpoints interfaces. First proof-of-concept with local pcap and HTTP API forwarder (fully tested on #SEKOIA plaftform).

Kudos to @DragosInc for sharing details of a recent event. The adversary compromised a new employee's personal email address and impersonated them to get access. How would you protect against that?
I remember a time when people here in Europe still had issues storing their corporate emails on US mail servers - nowadays you store the master keys to your company on their servers

Unable to extract credentials via DPAPI or Mimikatz? Don't worry. Microsoft got your back. Just use 'rundll32 keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr' to extract all the stored passwords on the host, be it a target server, FTP or chrome's HTTP creds, microsoft has you covered. #redteam
