CVE-2026-43499 Even works on android

woinokiz

It does even work on android (K90 Pro max , idk exact versions),

Why's there's new exploit on Linux kernel every other day?

That's seriously crazy. A Linux exploit that works on Linux.

Why's there's new exploit on Linux kernel every other day?

This shit is from May and doesn't do a whole lot in most environments/on it's own.

Exploits were always there - hopefully unintentional/ non malicious intent

Just surfaced recently thanks to AI

Lots of attack surface and lots of energy (human and AI) being spent trying to break it.

Use iOS. All Chinese phones contain malware, including Xiaomi.

Well, Android does use the Linux kernel, and this vulnerability applies to the futex() system call that is pretty universal.

LLMs.

A vulnerability is not malware, and iOS is not free of vulnerabilities either.

No system is free of vulnerabilities, but all Chinese ones have backdoors and pre-installed malware.

You can cherry-pick kernel common from grapheneos, they patched it 1 months ago if you phone vendor have moral to given kernel source code.

I'm certainly not saying that this never happened or won't happen in the future but as a blanket statement it's kinda questionable in my opinion. I fully agree in regards to the risk though. If you are conscious about your security you better don't use any kind of black box device at all - no matter who built them where.

Many chinese phone user stopped update their phone and finding the method to root their phone.
For now almost all chinese phone can't unlock Bootloader except Oneplus(But they want to close it)

I unlocked my Xiaomi phone shortly after receiving it, years ago, and run LineageOS on it.

And as a bonus get lots of problems with NFC. Oh, yes as a cherry on the cake if maintainer lost interest, you stuck with this shit on your phone, today, when CVE publish every day and goverment want know about you more and more, it's bad way, I believe. I did the same, but after few months of playing with that switched to Pixel and happy with that. An now f*king xiaomi and vivo makes more and more troubles with bootloader. I don't understand why I can't install AOSP on my phone and have full functionality. Why google decide is my device safety for my usage or not in ultimate form, instead just warn me.
