CVE-2026-79619 Aug 26, 12:50 HIGH PATCH This Week

Privilege escalation in OpenZFS on Linux allows any unprivileged local user to perform root-restricted ZFS pool operations - including pool creation, import, destruction, event log access, and fault injection via zinject - by exploiting a flaw in ioctl authorization that incorrectly treats CAP_SYS_ADMIN held within a user-created unprivileged namespace as equivalent to real host-level root privilege. The vulnerability requires only that the user can open /dev/zfs and that the kernel permits unprivileged user namespace creation, a configuration that is enabled by default on most modern Linux distributions. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the OpenZFS project has released patched versions 2.2.11, 2.3.9, and 2.4.4 addressing all affected branches.
