Red Hat has released security updates for udisks2 that fix this missing authorization check vulnerability. Users should apply the official patches provided in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 versions 10.2 and later, including Extended Update Support releases. Refer to Red Hat advisory RHSA-2026:3476 and RHSA-2026:5831 and the update instructions at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 for detailed remediation steps. Applying these updates mitigates the vulnerability. No additional mitigation is required beyond installing the official fixes.
Description
A flaw was found in the udisks storage management daemon that exposes a privileged D-Bus API for restoring LUKS encryption headers without proper authorization checks. The issue allows a local unprivileged user to instruct the root-owned udisks daemon to overwrite encryption metadata on block devices. This can permanently invalidate encryption keys and render encrypted volumes inaccessible. Successful exploitation results in a denial-of-service condition through irreversible data loss.
