  • Engineer — Plan: Unauthenticated remote RCE via use-after-free in the IPv4 TCP stack is serious, but EPSS 0.01 and no KEV listing temper urgency despite the public PoC. Patch RHEL 8/9/10 systems this sprint; for Ubuntu LTS, enable the testing channel or monitor for the stable backport before it reaches your standard update window.
