CVE-2026-91203— Cockpit-files: cockpit-files: arbitrary file ownership and permission modification via symlink race condition

Quick assessment

Affected
Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10
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.

在 中发现了缺陷。该漏洞允许本地攻击者利用时间差问题（即符号链接竞态条件，symlink race condition），在特权文件操作（如修改文件所有权或权限）过程中进行利用。通过操纵目录项并赢得该竞态条件，攻击者可以将这些操作重定向到非预期的文件。这可能导致任意文件的所有权和权限发生未授权变更，从而可能通过改变系统或应用状态，或使服务不可用，进而影响系统的完整性和可用性。

Vulnerability Title
Cockpit-files: cockpit-files: arbitrary file ownership and permission modification via symlink race condition
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
A flaw was found in cockpit-files. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to exploit a timing issue, known as a symlink race condition, during privileged file operations such as changing file ownership or permissions. By manipulating directory entries and winning this race, the attacker can redirect these operations to unintended files. This could lead to unauthorized changes in file ownership and permissions on arbitrary files, potentially compromising system integrity and availability by altering system or application states or rendering services unusable.
