The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security issued multiple advisories urging organizations to apply vendor patches released between February 16–22, 2026, including updates addressing Linux kernel vulnerabilities impacting Ubuntu (16.04 LTS through 25.10) and Red Hat platforms (including RHEL and related offerings). The advisories emphasize routine but potentially high-impact exposure from unpatched kernel flaws across widely deployed enterprise and server environments, and direct administrators to review upstream vendor notices and deploy the corresponding updates.
Separate Cyber Centre advisories also flagged patch requirements outside the Linux kernel: Microsoft released an update for Microsoft Edge Stable to remediate vulnerabilities in versions prior to 145.0.3800.70, IBM published security advisories covering multiple products (including Aspera Enterprise WebApps, Cloud Pak System, Storage Defender, and others), and CISA issued ICS advisories for vulnerabilities across several industrial and IoT/OT products (including Delta Electronics, GE Vernova, Honeywell CCTV, Siemens Simcenter, and others) with recommended mitigations and updates where available. A Linux 7.0 release-candidate feature article is not a security advisory and does not materially relate to the patch/vulnerability notices in the other items.
