CVE-2026-68151
Detail
Received This CVE record has recently been published to the CVE List and has been included within the NVD dataset.
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binfmt_elf_fdpic: only honour the first PT_INTERP
The program header scan handles PT_INTERP from a switch nested in the
scan loop, so its break leaves the switch and not the loop. A binary
carrying more than one PT_INTERP runs the case again and overwrites both
interpreter_name and interpreter. The previous name allocation leaks and
so does the previous interpreter reference, along with the write denial
open_exec() took on it. The denial is never released, so the file stays
unwritable for as long as the system runs.
An unprivileged caller reaches this with a crafted binary and repeats it
at will. binfmt_elf stops at the first PT_INTERP. Do the same here.
The flaw dates back to the driver's introduction in the pre-git history
tree introduced in v2.6.11 by 91808d6ebe39 ("[PATCH] FRV: Add FDPIC ELF
binary format driver").
