* glibc: glibc DNS stub resolver: Denial of Service via long search domain in configuration (CVE-2026-8674)
* glibc: glibc: Privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution via TOCTOU race condition in dynamic loader (CVE-2026-86805)
* glibc: glibc: Local attacker can cause denial of service and information disclosure via stack-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2026-95818)
