Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use of Uninitialized Variable (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-98413)

CWE-ID: CWE-457 - Use of Uninitialized Variable

CVSSv4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause SELinux to use uninitialized access-decision data.

The vulnerability exists due to use of an uninitialized stack variable in the SELinux avc_has_perm_noaudit() function when handling an empty requested permission set. A local user can trigger a permission check with an empty requested permission set to cause SELinux to use uninitialized access-decision data.

Callers pass the resulting decision to avc_audit(), and the inode hook also stores it in the per-task decision cache.
