CVE-2026-82457

HIGH CVSS: 7.8 Published: 2026-08-29 Modified: 2026-09-01

Description

su-exec through 0.3 fails to validate numeric user and group identifiers parsed with strtol before assigning to uid_t and gid_t, allowing truncation of out-of-range values to zero. Attackers can supply large numeric identifiers that truncate to root's identifier, causing su-exec to execute target programs with root privileges instead of intended unprivileged accounts.
