{"id":"CVE-2026-72460","summary":"apparmor: check label build before no_new_privs test","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\napparmor: check label build before no_new_privs test\n\naa_change_profile() builds a replacement label with\nfn_label_build_in_scope() before the no_new_privs subset check. The build\nhelper can fail and return NULL or an ERR_PTR, but the result was passed\nto aa_label_is_unconfined_subset() before the existing IS_ERR_OR_NULL()\ncheck.\n\nReuse the existing target-label build failure handling immediately after\nthe build. This preserves the current audit handling while preventing the\nsubset helper from dereferencing an invalid label.","modified":"2026-08-16T03:48:42.679114741Z","published":"2026-08-15T05:57:05.404Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"Linux","osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/72xxx/CVE-2026-72460.json"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/31cb109db5e6322ed22304fd5c0dedbaa438d6d3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a29f06db44b4c94597ded58f639eed3e21781ac3"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a58cafd38b46fb1a2220e2fbbcfe291ea75fa147"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b7c45c05a396a017c49ac7949de240a0dfc0ac4e"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cfc224866530a6842b6c2d2d30ef6a9b0e64bb9c"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d82160132345688a09cbaa648cfdd16bb32e8ea2"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d84bb195d208adbf77f012ca2a96e11163f6def1"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ec926b2a351eeeb31e6c9aee02e0c32f94b5588f"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/72xxx/CVE-2026-72460.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72460"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"e00b02bb6ac2a1893227ce8014b649028d6425d2"},{"fixed":"a29f06db44b4c94597ded58f639eed3e21781ac3"},{"fixed":"cfc224866530a6842b6c2d2d30ef6a9b0e64bb9c"},{"fixed":"31cb109db5e6322ed22304fd5c0dedbaa438d6d3"},{"fixed":"b7c45c05a396a017c49ac7949de240a0dfc0ac4e"},{"fixed":"d84bb195d208adbf77f012ca2a96e11163f6def1"},{"fixed":"d82160132345688a09cbaa648cfdd16bb32e8ea2"},{"fixed":"ec926b2a351eeeb31e6c9aee02e0c32f94b5588f"},{"fixed":"a58cafd38b46fb1a2220e2fbbcfe291ea75fa147"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-72460.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"4.13.0"},{"fixed":"5.10.261"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.11.0"},{"fixed":"5.15.212"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"5.16.0"},{"fixed":"6.1.178"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.2.0"},{"fixed":"6.6.145"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.7.0"},{"fixed":"6.12.97"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.13.0"},{"fixed":"6.18.40"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.19.0"},{"fixed":"7.1.5"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-72460.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
