CVE-2026-80724 is fixed in 20 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-80724, released September 4, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-80724 - Priority: High - CVSS: 8.8 (high) - EPSS: 0.0018 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Aug 28, 2026 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ptp: vmclock: prevent read-only mappings from becoming writable vmclock_miscdev_mmap() rejects writable mappings of the shared vmclock ABI page with -EROFS, but leaves VM_MAYWRITE set. Userspace can map the page read-only and then upgrade it to writable with mprotect(), after which the guest can corrupt the host-written timekeeping data (sequence counter, UTC time, TSC offset) that the vmclock ABI defines as read-only. Clear VM_MAYWRITE on the read-only path so the mapping cannot be upgraded, as i915 does for its read-only objects and as fixed in drm/vc4 (CVE-2026-68445) and drm/panthor (CVE-2024-53071). ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | bpftool6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | bpftool6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-livepatch-6.18.48-107.148 amzn 2023 | 1:1.0-0.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo-common-aarch64 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-debuginfo-common-x86_64 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-devel amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-headers amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-modules-extra amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-modules-extra-common amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.18-tools-devel amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | linux Debian 14 | 7.1.12-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2026-80724](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2026-80724.md) | Sep 4, 2026 | | Linux | microvm-kernel6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | perf6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | perf6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | python3-perf6.18 amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | | Linux | python3-perf6.18-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.18.48-107.148.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3139](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3139.md) | Sep 28, 2026 | --- Data as of 2026-11-08T19:12:23Z UTC.
