Investigating - Linode VM Migration Delays (All Regions)
Scheduled for Friday May 15, 2026

May 15, 03:51 UTC
Resolved - We have identified the root cause of the migration delays affecting all regions. An unexpected reboot of several internal infrastructure components at approximately 22:10 UTC on May 14 resulted in incomplete reinitialization, causing the migration queue to stall.The affected components have now been reinitialized and migrations are processing normally. The pending queue has cleared and both cold and warm migrations as well as resize jobs are confirmed moving.

May 15, 02:24 UTC
Investigating - We are currently investigating an issue causing delays to both cold and live migrations globally. A number of migrations are stuck, and additional migrations are queued and pending across all regions.
Customer Impact: Cold and live migrations along with linode resize may be delayed or unresponsive. We recommend avoiding initiating new migrations and resizes until this is resolved.

We are actively investigating the root cause and will provide an update shortly.

[Fragnesia] Linux Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Scheduled for Friday May 15, 2026

May 15, 17:30 UTC
Update - We are responding to the publication of the most recent variation of the CopyFail[1] adjacent vulnerabilities “DirtyFrag” and “Fragnesia” with additional updates while we wait for upstream OS providers to release patches. Please see our detailed advisory[2] for more information on the current status, possible mitigation mechanisms, and our recommended actions.

We will provide another update when more OS images have been updated and/or additional attack vectors are discovered.

May 13, 21:02 UTC
Investigating - Akamai is aware of the recently disclosed “Fragnesia”[1] vulnerability, following the “DirtyFrag”[2] and “CopyFail”[3] disclosures. This vulnerability is very similar in nature and has a similar impact, exploit path, and mitigation approach. We have not observed any related malicious exploits targeting our infrastructure and are continuing to address the vulnerability across our product portfolio and internal systems.

As with “CopyFail” and “DirtyFrag”, we are advising customers to consider most Linux distributions to be at-risk until patched. Since the “Fragnesia” vulnerability was disclosed prior to upstream patches having been made available, we are forced to wait for the different OS providers to create new releases or patches before we can integrate them into the versions we make available to customers.

As this is a rapidly developing incident, we will provide further information regarding recommended actions, possible mitigations, and OS updates for all customers who may be affected.
