CVE-2026-73584

Sblim-sfcb: sblim-sfcb: privileged file corruption and denial of service via insecure temporary file handling

Published Aug 13, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A flaw was found in sblim-sfcb. A local, low-privileged attacker can exploit a race condition during privileged instance migration by manipulating a temporary file in the `/tmp` directory. By repeatedly recreating a symbolic link, the attacker can redirect privileged output to an arbitrary file. This can lead to privileged file corruption or a denial of service (DoS) on the system.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

To mitigate this issue, if instance migration is not required, run the `sfcbrepos` command with the `-i` option to disable the vulnerable migration path. For example: `sudo sfcbrepos -f -i`. Alternatively, avoid running `sfcbrepos` with elevated privileges on systems where untrusted local users can concurrently write to the `/tmp` directory. A service restart or reload may be required for changes to take effect if `sfcbrepos` is managed by a service.
