U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) adds Red Hat, Linux Kernel, Ajax.NET Professional, Microsoft SQL Server, and Citrix NetScaler flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added the following vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog:
- CVE-2015-3246 Red Hat Libuser Race Condition Vulnerability
- CVE-2015-5287 Red Hat Automatic Bug Reporting Tool Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
- CVE-2019-1068 Microsoft SQL Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
- CVE-2021-23758 Ajax.NET Professional Deserialization of Untrusted Data Vulnerability
- CVE-2022-0995 Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write Vulnerability
- CVE-2026-8452 Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer Vulnerability
CVE-2015-3246 is a race condition in Red Hat libuser that could let an authenticated local user corrupt /etc/passwd to cause denial of service or escalate privileges.
CVE-2015-5287 is a privilege escalation bug in Red Hat Automatic Bug Reporting Tool that could allow local users with certain permissions to gain higher privileges via a symlink attack on a predictable file.
CVE-2019-1068 is a remote code execution flaw in Microsoft SQL Server that could allow an attacker to execute code in the context of the SQL Server Database Engine service account.
CVE-2021-23758 (CVSS score not specified in the KEV notice) is a deserialization of untrusted data vulnerability in Ajax.NET Professional that could allow for remote code execution via arbitrary .NET classes.
CVE-2022-0995 (CVSS score not specified in the KEV notice) is an out-of-bounds memory write vulnerability in Linux Kernel that could allow a local user to gain privileged access or cause a denial of service on the system.
CVE-2026-8452 (CVSS score not specified in the KEV notice) is an improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway that could lead to denial-of-service and has been observed under active exploitation in the wild.
According to Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities, FCEB agencies have to address the identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect their networks against attacks exploiting the flaws in the catalog.
Experts also recommend that private organizations review the Catalog and address the vulnerabilities in their infrastructure.
CISA orders federal agencies to fix the flaws CVE-2019-1068 and CVE-2026-8452 by August 29, 2026, while the remaining must be addressed by September 9, 2026.
