Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-53282 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: 5.5 (medium) - EPSS: 0.0016 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Jun 22, 2026 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/kexec: Push kjump return address even for non-kjump kexec The version of purgatory code shipped by kexec-tools attempts to look above the top of its stack to find a return address for a kjump, even in a non-kjump kexec. After the commit in Fixes: the word above the stack might not be there, leading to a fault (which is at least now caught by my exception-handling code in kexec). That commit fixed things for the actual kjump path, but no longer "gratuitously" pushes the unused return address to the stack in the non-kjump path. Put that *back* in the non-kjump path, to prevent purgatory from crashing when trying to access it. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | bpftool6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | bpftool6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-livepatch-6.18.33-63.124 amzn 2023 | 1:1.0-0.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo-common-aarch64 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo-common-x86_64 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-devel amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-headers amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-modules-extra amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-modules-extra-common amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools-devel amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | linux Debian 14 | 7.0.10-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53282](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2026-53282.md) | Jun 27, 2026 | | Linux | perf6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | perf6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | python3-perf6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | | Linux | python3-perf6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.33-63.124.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-1866](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1866.md) | Jun 22, 2026 | --- Data as of 2026-11-08T06:59:42Z UTC.
