Recent Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop Security Vulnerabilities
Heap buffer overflow in libXfont2 fs_read_glyphs()
CVE-2026-44950
9 - Critical
- September 10, 2026
fs_read_glyphs() in the libXfont2 font-server client (src/fc/fserve.c) copies each glyph's bitmap into a single buffer. Existing checks validates only that the source slice (position, length) lies within the source bitmap buffer. It does not check whether the running destination cursor has exceeded the allocation. A malicious font server can send overlapping source offsets -- for example 1000 glyphs each referencing {position:0, length:64} with nbytes=64. Each individual source range passes the existing validation, but the cumulative writes total 64000 bytes into a 64-byte destination buffer. This is a heap buffer overflow with attacker-controlled content.
OOB Heap Read in libXfont2 query glyphs (CVE-2026-59679)
CVE-2026-59679
9 - Critical
- September 10, 2026
fs_read_glyphs() in the libXfont2 font-server client (src/fc/fserve.c) indexes the per-character encoding[] array using num_chars from the FS_QueryXBitmaps16 reply, but that array was allocated with a size derived from num_extents in the separate FS_QueryXExtents16 reply. The two CARD32 fields are never cross-checked. A malicious or compromised font server can send a small num_extents (e.g. 1) in the extents reply, then a large num_chars (e.g. 100000) in the bitmaps reply. This causes attacker-controlled out-of-bounds heap read and writes.
Memory Corruption
Local Privilege Escalation via haveged UNIX Socket on SUSE
CVE-2026-41054
7.8 - High
- May 20, 2026
In `src/havegecmd.c`, the `socket_handler` function performs a credential check on the abstract UNIX socket (`\0/sys/entropy/haveged`). However, while it detects if the connecting user is not root (`cred.uid != 0`) and prepares a negative acknowledgement (`ASCII_NAK`), it **fails to stop execution**. The code proceeds to the `switch` statement, allowing any local unprivileged user to execute privileged commands such as `MAGIC_CHROOT`.
Authentication Bypass by Primary Weakness
Sudo <1.9.17p1 LPE via chroot /etc/nsswitch.conf
CVE-2025-32463
9.3 - Critical
- June 30, 2025
Sudo before 1.9.17p1 allows local users to obtain root access because /etc/nsswitch.conf from a user-controlled directory is used with the --chroot option.
Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere
In cifs-utils through 6.14
CVE-2022-27239
7.8 - High
- April 27, 2022
In cifs-utils through 6.14, a stack-based buffer overflow when parsing the mount.cifs ip= command-line argument could lead to local attackers gaining root privileges.
Memory Corruption
A local privilege escalation vulnerability was found on polkit's pkexec utility
CVE-2021-4034
7.8 - High
- January 28, 2022
A local privilege escalation vulnerability was found on polkit's pkexec utility. The pkexec application is a setuid tool designed to allow unprivileged users to run commands as privileged users according predefined policies. The current version of pkexec doesn't handle the calling parameters count correctly and ends trying to execute environment variables as commands. An attacker can leverage this by crafting environment variables in such a way it'll induce pkexec to execute arbitrary code. When successfully executed the attack can cause a local privilege escalation given unprivileged users administrative rights on the target machine.
Memory Corruption
lrzsz before version 0.12.21~rc can leak information to the receiving side due to an incorrect length check in the function zsdata
CVE-2018-10195
- June 02, 2021
lrzsz before version 0.12.21~rc can leak information to the receiving side due to an incorrect length check in the function zsdata that causes a size_t to wrap around.

- May 04, 2020
A Incorrect Default Permissions vulnerability in the SLES15-SP1-CHOST-BYOS and SLES15-SP1-CAP-Deployment-BYOS images of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP1 allows local attackers with the UID 1000 to escalate to root due to a /etc directory owned by the user This issue affects: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP1 SLES15-SP1-CAP-Deployment-BYOS version 1.0.1 and prior versions; SLES15-SP1-CHOST-BYOS versions prior to 1.0.3 and prior versions;
