    CVE-2026-23118: RxRPC Kernel Data-Race Fix and Affected Receive Path

    In February 2026, the Linux kernel’s RxRPC subsystem received a small-looking but technically important correction: a data-race warning was eliminated, and a possible load/store tearing problem on 32-bit systems was removed at the same time. The issue landed as CVE-2026-23118, and while it is...
