AI-suggested
Red Hat has released an official security update for udisks2 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 to address this vulnerability. Users should apply the update udisks2-2.11.0-2.el10_2.1 or later as provided in Red Hat Security Advisory RHSA-2026:53435. No additional mitigations are specified by the vendor. Patch status is confirmed as fixed in this update.
Description
A flaw was found in udisks2. A local attacker with an active console session can exploit insufficient authorization checking on the 'as-user' option in the org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem.Mount() D-Bus method. This allows the attacker to spoof the 'as-user' parameter, mounting filesystems on behalf of arbitrary users, including privileged accounts. This can lead to local privilege escalation through mount point injection and manipulation of the mount namespace visible to privileged users.
