dracut: dracut: root code execution via unescaped error message written to sourced emergency hook script in die()

A flaw was found in dracut. The die error-handling function writes its message into a shell script under the initramfs emergency-hook directory without properly shell-quoting it. When the message contains data derived from the DHCP ROOTPATH option, an attacker on the adjacent network who controls...

Oracle Linux 9 : dracut (ELSA-2026-54571)

The remote Oracle Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2026-54571 advisory. 057-120.git20260728.0.1 - Skip the default FIPS logic on special UEK kernels where the FIPS module is linked directly into the kernel. Orabug: 38705580 - Ship...

OESA-2026-3300 dracut security update

dracut contains tools to create bootable initramfses for the Linux kernel. Unlike previous implementations, dracut hard-codes as little as possible into the initramfs. dracut contains various modules which are driven by the event-based udev. Having root on MD, DM, LVM2, LUKS is supported as well ...

CVE-2026-16445

A flaw was found in dracut. A remote attacker on the adjacent network can exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted DHCP options, such as a malicious root-path, next-server, or bootfile name, to a system using dracut's NetworkManager-based initrd network module. These options are...

CVE-2026-16445

CVE-2026-16445 affects dracut’s NetworkManager-based initrd network module. A remote attacker on the adjacent network can craft DHCP options (root-path/next-server/bootfile) that are written into a temporary shell script without proper escaping, enabling command injection and root code execution ...

SUSE CVE-2026-6893

A flaw was found in dracut. A remote attacker on the adjacent network can exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol options, such as a malicious hostname, to a system using dracut's legacy DHCP path. These options are improperly handled and...

CVE-2026-6893 Dracut: dracut: root code execution via dhcp options command injection

A flaw was found in dracut. A remote attacker on the adjacent network can exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol options, such as a malicious hostname, to a system using dracut's legacy DHCP path. These options are improperly handled and...

Constellation allows Emergency shell access during initramfs boot phase

Impact An active attacker could let the boot fail on purpose in the initramfs, dropping the serial console into an emergency shell. This gives attackers with access to the serial console full control over the VM. Patches The issue has been patched in v2.6.0. Workarounds none...
