AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.
A researcher published an unpatched, pre-authentication remote code execution bug in tgt, the Linux iSCSI target, with no CVE or fix yet, so storage servers should keep port 3260 off untrusted networks. Separately, an attacker went after Alpine Linux's GitLab using critical bug CVE-2026-97229, forcing Alpine to...
Because the tgt bug has no fix yet, storage server operators have limited options beyond restricting access to port 3260. Anyone running GitLab without the patch for CVE-2026-97229 should update now, since the post says the incident required a full rebuild. Watch for a CVE assignment and a vendor fix for the tgt bug.
Security-conscious readers may want to review the source and watch for practical exposure or mitigation details.
