CVE-2026-78410 Util-linux: util-linux: restricted bind mounts do not pin the source, allowing x-mount.owner/group/mode redirection

A flaw was found in util-linux. Restricted bind mounts take the source path from fstab but do not pin that source before the privileged mount. A local unprivileged user who can replace the authorized source or a writable ancestor can redirect SUID mount8 to bind another host directory. If the fst...

CVE-2026-78409

The X-mount.subdir option uses a detached-tree fast path on Linux 6.15 and later and passes the configured subdirectory to opentree with ATSYMLINKNOFOLLOW. That flag does not stop intermediate symlink traversal or keep resolution inside the newly mounted filesystem. A local unprivileged user with...
