Security Bulletin SSB-2026-002

This PR adds the security bulletin for the Dirty Frag and Fragnesia Linux kernel local privilege escalation vulnerabilities.

Vulnerabilities covered

  • Dirty Frag (CVE-2026-43284, CVE-2026-43500) — disclosed May 7th 2026. LPE via write-what-where primitives in the xfrm-ESP and RxRPC kernel subsystems exploiting the shared page cache.
  • Fragnesia — disclosed May 13th 2026. Separate bug in the same XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem, same vulnerability class and same mitigation.

Scalingo response

  • Mitigation applied May 8th: esp4, esp6, rxrpc modules disabled across all hosting nodes by 10:02, covering both vulnerabilities.
  • Exploit path is additionally blocked by Docker's default seccomp profile, which prevents CLONE_NEWUSER in containers without CAP_SYS_ADMIN.
  • No customer impact. No evidence of exploitation.

References

  • SECINC-157 (Dirty Frag)
  • SECINC-158 (Fragnesia)

Add security bulletin SSB-2026-002 covering:
- Dirty Frag (CVE-2026-43284 and CVE-2026-43500): Linux kernel LPE
  via page cache write primitives in xfrm-ESP and RxRPC subsystems,
  publicly disclosed May 7th 2026.
- Fragnesia: related LPE in the same XFRM ESP-in-TCP subsystem,
  publicly disclosed May 13th 2026.

Mitigation: esp4, esp6, rxrpc kernel modules disabled across all
hosting nodes on May 8th at 10:02, covering both vulnerabilities.
Exploit path is additionally blocked by Docker's default seccomp
