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-2026-48980

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using removable media. In versions prior to 0.9.2, getenv environment variables XRDPSESSION, DISPLAY and TMUX allow environment variable injection into local-check logic. These environment variables influence whether a current session is local or...

CVE-2026-48980

The PAM module pam_usb is affected by a local-access vulnerability in earlier releases (pre-0.9.2) where getenv() in a PAM context returns attacker-controlled values for XRDP_SESSION, DISPLAY, and TMUX when the environment is manipulated by a local user. These values influence local-vs-remote ses...

CVE-2026-48980 pam_usb: getenv() used in PAM context allows environment variable injection into local-check logic

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using removable media. In versions prior to 0.9.2, getenv environment variables XRDPSESSION, DISPLAY and TMUX allow environment variable injection into local-check logic. These environment variables influence whether a current session is local or...

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-2026-48983 pam_usb: TOCTOU race condition in pad directory creation allows symlink substitution

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-2026-48982

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-2026-48981

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. In versions prior to 0.9.2, pamusb calls xmlReadFile with flags=0 when loading the configuration file, allowing libxml2 to process external entity references XXE, potentially making outbound network connections or...

CVE-2026-48981

The CVE-2026-48981 issue affects pam_usb for Linux, where in versions prior to 0.9.2 the module loads its configuration via xmlReadFile() with flags=0. This allows libxml2 to process external entity references (XXE) during XML parsing, potentially causing outbound network connections or local fil...

CVE-2026-48981 pam_usb: xmlReadFile flags=0 permits XXE network entity fetching in conf.c

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. In versions prior to 0.9.2, pamusb calls xmlReadFile with flags=0 when loading the configuration file, allowing libxml2 to process external entity references XXE, potentially making outbound network connections or...

CVE-2026-48984

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-2026-48986

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using removable media. In pamusb 0.9.1 and earlier, usbgetprocessparentid can cause an infinite loop DoS because it does not initialize ppid on failure. In pusblocallogin, the same variable is reused as input and output in a process-tree while loo...

CVE-2026-48985 pam_usb: NULL Dereference Crash in pusb_is_loginctl_local when loginctl Returns Empty Remote Field

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-2026-48985

pam_usb (Linux hardware authentication) contains a NULL dereference in pusb_is_loginctl_local() when parsing loginctl output in versions ≤ 0.9.1. If the Remote field is just a newline, strtok_r(...) returns NULL and a subsequent strcmp(is_remote, "no") dereferences NULL, causing undefined behavio...

CVE-2026-48986 pam_usb: Infinite loop DoS in process-tree walk when parent process exits during authentication

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using removable media. In pamusb 0.9.1 and earlier, usbgetprocessparentid can cause an infinite loop DoS because it does not initialize ppid on failure. In pusblocallogin, the same variable is reused as input and output in a process-tree while loo...

CVE-2026-47273

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.9.0, pamusb builds XPath expressions from user-supplied identifiers PAM username, service name and device-supplied identifiers USB device serial, model, vendor to query /etc/pamusb.conf. These identifiers...

CVE-2026-48065

pamusb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.9.1, src/conf.c allocates heap memory proportional to ndevices, a count derived from libxml2 XPath evaluation of the config file, without first enforcing an upper bound. On 32-bit targets armv7l, i686 --...
