"The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2026:0868 advisory.
Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2026-72693:
`openvt -u` is intended to identify the owner of the current VT and then execute `login` as that user from
a privileged context. In the documented `kbrequest`/init usage, the ownership test in
`authenticate_user()` relies on `stat(/proc/<pid>/fd/0)`. `stat()` on `/proc/<pid>/fd/0` follows the
symlink to the underlying TTY device node. As a result, `buf.st_uid` reflects the owner of the TTY node
rather than the owner of the process holding the file descriptor. If the TTY owner returns to `root` or
the getty owner after logout while an unprivileged process still has `fd 0` attached to that TTY, the
check can incorrectly treat that process as belonging to the privileged console owner. Once that check
succeeds, the `-u` path executes a passwordless login as the selected user. In the documented
`kbrequest`/init deployment using `openvt -us`, this can result in passwordless `login -f root` on the
spawned VT. This report establishes that privilege escalation path for that documented deployment; it does
not claim equivalent reachability for deployments that do not use `openvt -u` from a privileged
`kbrequest`/init path.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
