rxrpc security

About this tag
The rxrpc security tag covers Linux kernel vulnerabilities in the RxRPC networking subsystem, specifically related to authentication and resource management. Recent discussions include CVE-2026-31634, a reference count leak in rxrpc_server_keyring() that affects mixed Windows, Linux, cloud, or container infrastructure, and CVE-2026-31637, a flaw in the rxkad authentication code where failed decryption of response tickets could lead to parsing errors. These issues highlight the importance of patch management for cross-platform environments, even when CVSS scores are pending. The tag is relevant for IT administrators and security teams managing heterogeneous systems.
