{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-63298","details":"An improper neutralization of special elements vulnerability in LXD's NVIDIA instance configuration handling allows an authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary configuration directives. By supplying newline characters within the 'nvidia.driver.capabilities' or 'nvidia.require.*' configuration values, an attacker can manipulate the generated lxc.conf file. This flaw enables the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the host system with the privileges of the LXD daemon.","modified":"2026-09-12T08:47:35.104962871Z","published":"2026-08-12T20:17:47.713Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-63298"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-63298"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"lxd","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/lxd?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-1","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-2","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-3","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-4","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-5","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-6","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-7","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-8","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9","5.0.2-5","5.0.2-5+deb12u1","5.0.2-5+deb12u2","5.0.2-5+deb12u3","5.0.2-5+deb12u4","5.0.2-5+deb12u5","5.0.2-5+deb12u6","5.0.2-6"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"end-of-life"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-63298.json"}},{"package":{"name":"lxd","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/lxd?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9+deb13u1","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9+deb13u2","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9+deb13u3","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9+deb13u4","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9+deb13u5","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9+deb13u6","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9+deb13u7"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-63298.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
