EUVD-2026-37936

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. In versions prior to 0.9.2, a symlink race condition exists in per-device and per-user pad directory creation. pamusb uses a check-then-act pattern: it calls lstat to test for existence and then calls mkdir separate...

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. In versions prior to 0.9.2, when updating a one-time pad file, a temporary file is created using open without the OEXCL flag. Without OEXCL, the create operation is not atomic: two concurrent processes racing to...

CVE-2026-48985

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. In versions 0.9.1 and below, pusbisloginctllocal can cause a NULL dereference crash when parsing loginctl output. The function calls popen and reads the result; if the Remote field is only a newline, fgets succeeds...

CVE-2026-48984

pam_usb for Linux (affected: v0.9.1 and earlier) has a memory handling flaw where xfree() frees buffers without zeroing contents, potentially leaving sensitive data (including one-time pad bytes) in freed heap memory. On systems with use-after-free or heap inspection capabilities, this could perm...

CVE-2026-44711

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.8.7, symlink attacks on pad directory and pad files enable authentication bypass and root file corruption. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.8.7...

CVE-2026-44710

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.8.7, src/device.c passed the return values of udisksdrivegetserial, udisksdrivegetvendor, and udisksdrivegetmodel directly to strcmp without NULL checks. The GIO/UDisks API documentation states these...

EUVD-2026-32656

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.9.0, pamusb's denyremote feature checks utmpx utaddrv6 to detect whether an authentication request originates from a remote session. The outer guard was if utent-utaddrv60 != 0, which only tests the first...
