Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-73584

medium Nessus Plugin ID 335208

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - A flaw was found in sblim-sfcb. A local, low-privileged attacker can exploit a race condition during privileged instance migration by manipulating a temporary file in the `/tmp` directory. By repeatedly recreating a symbolic link, the attacker can redirect privileged output to an arbitrary file. This can lead to privileged file corruption or a denial of service (DoS) on the system. (CVE-2026-73584)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
