Fragnesia is 3rd serious Linux root vulnerability in 2 weeks

Fragnesia patches may arrive May 14
Fragnesia is especially risky for cloud setups where lots of users share the same Linux kernel: it can let hackers break out of containers and mess with host systems.
Red Hat gives it a CVSS score of 7.8, which makes it a high-level security bug.
Developers are racing to fix things, but an upstream patch is already available; temporary workarounds exist but could disrupt VPNs or containers.
Patched Linux kernels may be available by May 14, so users should patch up as soon as possible to stay safe.
