MEDIUM 6.4

Description

In udev in systemd before 260, local root execution can occur via malicious hardware devices and unsanitized kernel output.

Analysis

Local root code execution in systemd's udev subsystem before version 260 allows attackers with physical access to craft malicious hardware devices that exploit unsanitized kernel output, achieving privilege escalation from local user context to root. The attack requires physical device insertion but no user interaction; CVSS 6.4 reflects the physical attack vector constraint, though successful exploitation grants complete system compromise. …
