Akamai has completed patching Compute hypervisors for the known vulnerabilities related to CVE-2026-99999, also referred to as “PwnEscape”, and we have not identified any exploitation on the Akamai platform. We recommend that customers upgrade Linode guest VMs using kernels from upstream OS vendors as those become available, especially for cases where less trusted workloads are being run within containers or nested virtualization.
