Last modified

CVE-2026-101306 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.8/10 on the CVSS scale. SCM_RIGHTS file descriptor passing did not preserve FD_RESOLVE_BENEATH when a descriptor was transferred. A process could clear the restriction by sending the descriptor to itself over a Unix domain socket. A process in a jail that has received a directory file descriptor from another jail can use these techniques to escape the jail's filesystem root restriction.. EPSS estimates a 0.27% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
