High · 7.1 Public exploit CVE-2026-49413 EUVD-2026-39965

Flaw in Linuxulator execution of setugid binaries

Published Jun 27, 2026 · Updated Jun 29, 2026 · Assigned by freebsd

Description

The Linuxulator determined whether a binary was set-user-ID or set-group-ID by checking the P_SUGID process flag. During execve(2), this flag is not yet set at the point where the auxiliary vector is constructed, so AT_SECURE was incorrectly set to zero for set-user-ID and set-group-ID executables.

An unprivileged local user can inject a shared library via LD_PRELOAD into a set-user-ID or set-group-ID Linux binary, gaining the privileges of that binary.
