The version of libinput installed on the remote host is prior to 1.8.4-2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2026-3370 advisory.

    A flaw was found in libinput. A local attacker with access to /dev/uinput can inject arbitrary udev     properties through the libinput-device-group helper. This injection can lead to root code execution, for     example, by exploiting REMOVE_CMD properties that are executed when a device is removed. This     vulnerability allows an attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system. (CVE-2026-50265)

    Two vulnerabilities were found in libinput, an input device management     and event handling library.

    CVE-2022-1215

        libinput did not properly handled evdev devices, which may potentially be         exploited by malicious local users in specific setup to execute arbitrary         code. Reported by Albin Eldstl-Ahrens and Lukas Lamster.

    CVE-2026-50292

        A udev helper provided by libinput performed insufficient sanitising of         device properties, which can result in local privilege escalation in         some setups. Reported by Csome.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     1.16.4-3+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libinput packages.
