CVE-2026-44073 MEDIUM PATCH This Month

Privilege retention in Netatalk 1.5.0 through 4.4.2 results from auth modules silently ignoring failures of the seteuid() system call, allowing an authenticated network attacker to operate with unintended elevated privileges. When seteuid() fails-due to resource exhaustion, OS limits, or specific system configurations-the process continues execution under its original (higher) UID rather than the intended reduced privilege level, exposing file system objects or operations the user should not access. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but the vendor has confirmed the flaw and released a fix in version 4.5.0.

CVE-2026-32107 HIGH PATCH This Week

Privilege escalation to root in xrdp 0.10.5 and earlier allows authenticated local attackers to execute arbitrary code due to improper error handling during privilege drop in the session execution component. The flaw requires low attack complexity and no user interaction (CVSS 8.8, AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N). Vendor-released patch available in xrdp v0.10.6. No public exploit or active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis, though CVSS scope change (S:C) indicates potential container/VM escape scenarios.
