{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-9640","details":"A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in LXD from 6.0 before 6.9, 5.21.0 before 5.21.5, and 5.0.0 before 5.0.7 regarding the handling of project-restriction policies during snapshot restoration.. An authenticated project operator in a restricted multi-tenant environment can bypass policy restrictions by importing a maliciously crafted instance backup containing restricted configuration keys within a snapshot. When the snapshot is restored, these restricted keys are applied to the live instance without policy validation. Starting the modified instance grants the operator unauthorized host root access.","modified":"2026-09-14T17:03:37.977953673Z","published":"2026-06-26T16:16:37.250Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-9640"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-9640"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"lxd","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/lxd?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-1","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-2","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-3","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-4","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-5","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-6","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-7","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-8","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9","5.0.2-5","5.0.2-5+deb12u1","5.0.2-5+deb12u2","5.0.2-5+deb12u3","5.0.2-5+deb12u4","5.0.2-5+deb12u5","5.0.2-5+deb12u6","5.0.2-6"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"end-of-life"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-9640.json"}},{"package":{"name":"lxd","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/lxd?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9+deb13u7"}]}],"versions":["5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9+deb13u1","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9+deb13u2","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9+deb13u3","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9+deb13u4","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9+deb13u5","5.0.2+git20231211.1364ae4-9+deb13u6"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-9640.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
