AI-suggested

Red Hat currently states that no mitigation is available or that existing options do not meet their criteria for deployment and stability. Standard installations restrict xfs_admin usage to administrative accounts, which limits exposure. Users should avoid passing untrusted input to xfs_admin and monitor Red Hat advisories for future patches or mitigations. Customers with a Red Hat Technical Account Manager (TAM) can seek direct guidance. Upgrading to a fixed version when available is recommended.

Description

CVE-2026-108472 is a vulnerability in the xfs_admin utility of xfsprogs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10. The utility improperly validates user-supplied parameters, allowing local attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands. This can lead to local privilege escalation depending on how xfs_admin is executed. The vulnerability is rated high severity with a CVSS score of 7.8. On standard installations, only administrative accounts can access xfs_admin, limiting exposure. However, environments that pass untrusted inputs to xfs_admin without validation are at risk. Currently, no effective mitigation or fix meeting Red Hat's criteria is available.
