CVE-2026-41991
CVE-2026-41991 affects GNU gzip’s gzexe utility, where insecure temporary file handling creates a TOCTOU vulnerability. If mktemp is unavailable in PATH, gzexe constructs a PID-based temporary path without exclusive access or existence checks. A local attacker can pre-create the predicted path as...
CVE-2026-41991
GNU gzip contains a vulnerability in the gzexe utility related to insecure temporary file handling. When the mktemp utility is not available in the user’s PATH, gzexe falls back to constructing a temporary file path based solely on the process ID PID. This predictable filename is created without...
