critical vulnerability</a> (<a
href="https://www.cve.org/CVERecord/?id=CVE-2026-99999">CVE-2026-99999</a>). The
flaw in <a

would allow an IPv4 packet with bad checksum metadata to "<q>corrupt the network
header and cause a bunch of mischief</q>" in the words of patch author Michael
S. Tsirkin. As usual, all users are advised to upgrade.</p>
