CVE-2026-112906— filelock: SoftFileLock evicts a fresh lock file whose watched age another local user's pre-dated file passed on through inode reuse

Quick assessment

Affected
tox-dev filelock
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

filelock 是一个跨平台的 Python 文件锁工具。在 4.1.0 至 4.2.1 版本中，SoftFileLock 存在一个漏洞：当攻击者预先创建并删除自己的标记文件，且至少有两个锁使用者进程处于等待状态，同时文件的修改时间（无论是粗略匹配还是精确匹配）保留了旧观测结果时，若一个诚实的竞争者在被复用的 inode 上创建新的标记，该新标记可能被误判为陈旧标记而被删除。此问题已在 4.2.1 版本中修复。

Vulnerability Title
filelock: SoftFileLock evicts a fresh lock file whose watched age another local user's pre-dated file passed on through inode reuse
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
filelock is a platform-independent file lock for Python. From 4.1.0 until 4.2.1, SoftFileLock versions from 4.1.0 can reuse a stale observation when an attacker pre-dates and removes its own marker, at least two lock-user processes are waiting, coarse or matching modification times preserve the observation, and an honest contender creates a fresh marker on the reused inode, causing that live marker to be removed as stale. This issue is fixed in version 4.2.1.
