Linux admins: CVE-2026-23111 is a local root bug in the kernel's nf_tables code. Patch through your distro, confirm the running kernel with uname -r, and reboot into the fixed kernel; container and shared hosts deserve extra attention.

Apple's iOS 27 preview is here: Siri AI, Apple Intelligence upgrades, Photos and Passwords improvements, child safety tools, and a fall 2026 release window. Our take: don't install beta on your main work phone; plan, backup, and wait.
