{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53614","details":"util-linux is a random collection of Linux utilities. In util-linux 2.39.1 through 2.41.4 and 2.42 through 2.42.1, the SUID `mount` utility reads the attacker-controlled `LIBMOUNT_FORCE_MOUNT2` environment variable with `getenv()`, allowing a local low-privileged user to force the non-atomic legacy bind-mount path. With an `/etc/fstab` bind mount authorized by `user` or `users` and protected by `nosuid`, `noexec`, or `nodev`, an attacker can race the window between the initial bind mount and the remount that applies those security flags and execute a SUID program from the temporarily unprotected mount, potentially gaining root privileges. This issue is fixed in 2.41.5 and 2.42.2.","modified":"2026-10-23T15:47:31.032150119Z","published":"2026-10-14T16:17:45.930Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-53614"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-53614"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"util-linux","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/util-linux?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.41.5-0+deb13u1"}]}],"versions":["2.41-5","2.41.1-1","2.41.1-2","2.41.1-3","2.41.1-4","2.41.2-1","2.41.2-2","2.41.2-3","2.41.2-4","2.41.3-1","2.41.3-2","2.41.3-3","2.41.3-4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53614.json"}},{"package":{"name":"util-linux","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/util-linux?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2.42.2-1"}]}],"versions":["2.41-5","2.41.1-1","2.41.1-2","2.41.1-3","2.41.1-4","2.41.2-1","2.41.2-2","2.41.2-3","2.41.2-4","2.41.3-1","2.41.3-2","2.41.3-3","2.41.3-4","2.42-1","2.42-2","2.42-3","2.42-4","2.42-5","2.42-6","2.42.1-1","2.42.1-2","2.42.1-3","2.42.1-4","2.42.1-5","2.42.1-6","2.42~rc1-1","2.42~rc1-2","2.42~rc1-3","2.42~rc2-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-53614.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.2","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
