Jun 2026: Monthly Security Bytes

Welcome to our LGA Monthly Security Bytes!

Here, you’ll find bite-sized security developments and practical insights to help you stay ahead of day-to-day security operations.

Infrastructure Security Gaps Are Creating New Entry Points

In the past month, newly disclosed vulnerabilities affecting Palo Alto PAN-OS, Apache HTTP Server and Linux kernel environments have heightened the risks of unauthorized access, remote code execution, privilege escalation and operational disruption.

These exposures impact core enterprise firewall, web server and Linux systems, potentially creating direct pathways into critical infrastructure if left unaddressed.

With LGA, organizations can proactively strengthen infrastructure visibility, monitor for suspicious activity and support timely remediation before threats impact operations.

Key Security Updates

1. Palo Alto PAN-OS Flaw Enables Unauthenticated Root Access

A critical PAN-OS vulnerability has allowed remote unauthenticated attackers to execute code as root, potentially leading to firewall compromise.

Critical Vulnerabilities were identified in the following:

 • PAN-OS 12.1: Versions prior to 12.1.4-h5, or 12.1.7
 • PAN-OS 11.2: Versions prior to 11.2.4-h17, 11.2.7-h13, 11.2.10-h6, or 11.2.12
 • PAN-OS 11.1: Versions prior to 11.1.4-h33, 11.1.6-h32, 11.1.7-h6, 11.1.10-h25, 11.1.13-h5, or 11.1.15
 • PAN-OS 10.2: Versions prior to 10.2.7-h34, 10.2.10-h36, 10.2.13-h21, 10.2.16-h7, or 10.2.18-h6

2. Critical Vulnerabilities in Apache and Linux Expose Core Systems

Newly disclosed security risks in Apache and Linux environments are exposing core infrastructure to system compromise, privilege escalation and operational disruption.

Critical Vulnerabilities were identified in the following:

 • Apache HTTP Server (Version 2.4.66)
 • Apache HTTP Server (CVE-2026-23918):
A high severity vulnerability in HTTP/2 handling may allow unauthenticated attackers to trigger denial-of-service or, under certain conditions, execute arbitrary code on affected systems.
 • Linux kernel (Kernels from 2017 onwards across major distributions)
 • Linux Kernel (CVE-2026-31431):
An actively exploited privilege escalation vulnerability enables attackers to gain root access. In containerised environments, this may lead to container escape and impact other workloads on the same host.
