CVE-2026-47187

Prior to sshfs 3.7.6, the transform_symlink() mitigation returns early at sshfs.c:2181 without handling relative symlink targets, while sshfs_readlink() (sshfs.c:2234–2236) copies server-supplied targets to the kernel. A rogue SFTP server can thus direct local tools (cp, rsync, editors) to read o...
