It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-88924 exists.\n\nAffected product: GNOME Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-88924/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-88924/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-88924","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-88924/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-88924","record":{"aliases":["CLSA-2026-1792166468","CLSA-2026-1792212029","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-88924","GHSA-8w8m-36rw-gg63","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-88924"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux virtual filesystem","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can exploit a race condition in gvfs-admin to change ownership of root-owned files, achieving full privilege escalation to root.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-367","name":"Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition"}],"description":"A flaw was found in the admin backend of gvfs. The privileged gvfsd-admin daemon changes the ownership of newly created private D-Bus sockets by calling the link-following chown() function on a pathname inside a user-controlled directory. A local attacker can exploit this via a Time-of-Check Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition and exchange the socket pathname with a symbolic link pointing to an arbitrary root-owned file (such as /etc/pam.d/su). The daemon subsequently follows the symlink and changes the ownership of the targeted root-owned file to the attacker's user ID. This allows an authenticated local attacker to modify critical system files, leading to a full local privilege escalation to root.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Gvfs: gvfs-admin socket ownership race permits local root","id":"CVE-2026-88924","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"VikRentItems Flexible Rental Management System \u003c 1.2.4 - Unauthenticated SQLi","id":"CVE-2026-88926"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Go-getter vulnerable to a privilege escalation issue in its archive decompression handling","id":"CVE-2026-88922"},"products":["Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0 Extended Update Support","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 Update Services for SAP Solutions","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 Update Services for SAP Solutions","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.6 Extended Update Support","gvfs"],"published":"2026-09-10","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-20","vendors":["GNOME","Red Hat"]},"summary":"A local attacker can exploit a race condition in gvfs-admin to change ownership of root-owned files, achieving full privilege escalation to root.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-88924/"}
