> Numerous kernel flaws in SUSE Linux Enterprise allow code execution, privilege escalation, denial of service, and security bypass.

CERT-FR has published a security advisory documenting multiple vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel affecting SUSE products. The affected systems include SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP7, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 15 SP7, SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time 15 SP7, SUSE Linux Enterprise Live Patching 15-SP7, SUSE Linux Micro 6.0, SUSE Linux Micro 6.1, and SUSE Linux Micro Extras 6.0, plus the SUSE Real Time Module 15-SP7.

The vulnerabilities collectively enable attackers to execute arbitrary code, escalate privileges, bypass security policies, cause remote denial of service, compromise data integrity and confidentiality. Patches are available through multiple SUSE security bulletins issued between 31 August and 10 September 2026. Defenders running affected SUSE distributions must apply the kernel updates immediately to mitigate risk.
