CVE-2026-74595
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fscrypt: use the mount idmap for the owner check in fscrypt_ioctl_set_policy()
fscrypt_ioctl_set_policy() calls inode_owner_or_capable() with &nop_mnt_idmap before allowing an encryption policy to be set, instead of the idmap of the mount the ioctl was issued on.
fscrypt is used by filesystems that support idmapped mounts (e.g. ext4, f2fs), so on such a mount this compares the caller's fsuid against the unmapped on-disk owner rather than the mapped owner: the actual owner can be wrongly denied with -EACCES and an unrelated caller wrongly allowed. Use file_mnt_idmap(filp) instead.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.12%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 2
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
