    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-88924:
    A flaw was found in the admin backend of gvfs. The privileged gvfsd-admin daemon changes the ownership of
    newly created private D-Bus sockets by calling the link-following chown() function on a pathname inside a
    user-controlled directory. A local attacker can exploit this via a Time-of-Check Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race
    condition and exchange the socket pathname with a symbolic link pointing to an arbitrary root-owned file
    (such as /etc/pam.d/su). The daemon subsequently follows the symlink and changes the ownership of the
    targeted root-owned file to the attacker's user ID. This allows an authenticated local attacker to modify
    critical system files, leading to a full local privilege escalation to root.

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.");
