CVE-2026-48982

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-2026-48983

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...

CVE-2026-48983

CVE-2026-48983 affects pam_usb prior to version 0.9.2, where a TOCTOU race in per-device and per-user pad directory creation can be exploited via a symlink substitution. pam_usb performs a check-then-act using lstat() followed by mkdir(), allowing a local attacker to replace the target path with ...

CVE-2026-48982

CVE-2026-48982 affects pam_usb prior to version 0.9.2, where updating a one-time pad file creates a temporary file with open() lacking O_EXCL, enabling a race between concurrent processes to update the same pad. This non-atomicity can cause the stored pad to diverge from expectations, potentially...

CVE-2026-48982

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-2026-48982 pam_usb: Missing O_EXCL on pad temp file creation allows concurrent update race

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-2026-48984 pam_usb: xfree() does not call explicit_bzero — sensitive cryptographic material may linger in freed heap

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. In versions 0.9.1 and below, the xfree memory release helper in calls free without first zeroing the buffer contents, releasing heap-allocated buffers containing sensitive data — including one-time pad bytes read fr...

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...
