Dirty Frag — kernel page-cache write tracking site

Source for the Dirty Frag patch-status tracker: a single-page site recording which distributions have shipped a fix for the paired page-cache write privilege-escalation chain in the Linux kernel.

Where the facts live

Everything about the bug — CVE IDs, affected and fixed versions, upstream fix commits, discovery and disclosure credit, and final per-distribution patch status — belongs to the tracker page, not to this README:

Rendered: https://kimmo.cloud/CVE-2026-43284/
Source: site/content/_index.md

Edit that file; everything else in this repo is build infrastructure.

None of it is restated here on purpose. A second copy in this README would only rot as the tracker page is revised — as it already did, by naming just one of the chain's two CVEs. Resist re-adding a summary.

Deployment plan and current setup state live in WEBSITE.md.

Local development

Requires Hugo extended (≥ 0.146.0) and Go (for Hugo Modules to fetch the PaperMod theme).

With Nix (recommended)

nix develop          # shell with hugo + go + git (pinned by flake.lock once generated)
cd site
hugo server          # local preview at http://localhost:1313/CVE-2026-43284/

If you use direnv, direnv allow once and the dev shell auto-activates whenever you cd into the repo.

Without Nix

Install Hugo extended ≥ 0.146.0 and Go ≥ 1.24 yourself, then:

cd site
hugo server          # http://localhost:1313/CVE-2026-43284/

Build and publish

make build       # local build into site/public/
make dist        # build, then rsync to haig:.www/sites/kimmo.cloud/htdocs/CVE-2026-43284/

make dist runs make build first.
