AI-suggested
Security updates fixing this vulnerability are available from Red Hat and Ubuntu. Red Hat users should apply the update to udisks2 version 2.11.0-2.el10_2.1 or later as per RHSA-2026:53435. Ubuntu users should update to udisks2 versions 2.10.91-1ubuntu2.1 (26.04 LTS) or 2.10.1-6ubuntu1.5 (24.04 LTS). After applying updates, a system reboot is recommended to ensure all changes take effect.
Description
CVE-2026-7867 is a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the udisks2 component of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ubuntu. The flaw arises from improper validation of the caller identity when handling the 'as-user' option in the org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Filesystem.Mount() D-Bus method. This allows a local attacker with an active console session to mount filesystems on behalf of arbitrary users, including privileged accounts, potentially escalating their privileges. Security updates addressing this issue have been released by both Red Hat and Ubuntu.
