CVE-2026-78410 | BDVDB-2026-367354 Detail
Red HatRed Hat Enterprise Linux 10
Description#
A flaw was found in util-linux. Restricted bind mounts take the source path from fstab but do not pin that source before the privileged mount. A local unprivileged user who can replace the authorized source or a writable ancestor can redirect SUID mount(8) to bind another host directory. If the fstab entry also sets X-mount.owner, X-mount.group, or X-mount.mode, root then changes ownership or mode on that redirected inode.
Impact#
Per CVSS v3.1: confidentiality impact high, integrity impact high, availability impact high. Attack vector: local.
