A critical stack buffer overflow (CVE-2026-41565) in the perl-CryptX package used by Fedora 43 and 44 allows arbitrary code execution via a crafted authentication tag; Fedora has released advisories and dnf updates (FEDORA-2026-2ef4c0c642 and FEDORA-2026-2158c96917) and users are urged to apply patches immediately, with no active exploitation reported as of publication.
