From CISA
Linux Kernel contains an integer overflow vulnerability in the create_elf_tables() function which could allow an unprivileged local user with access to SUID (or otherwise privileged) binary to escalate their privileges on the system.
This vulnerability affects a common open-source component, third-party library, or a protocol used by different products. Please check with specific vendors for information on patching status.

Check your domain's public posture
Scorifya doesn't test for specific CVEs, but if patching Linux changed your headers or TLS, a fresh hardening scan helps confirm nothing regressed externally.
