CVE-2026-43391 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nsfs: tighten permission checks for handle opening Even privileged services should not necessarily be able to see other privileged service's namespaces so they can't leak information to each other. Use may_see_all_namespaces() helper that centralizes this policy until the nstree adapts.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's namespace file system (nsfs) has been addressed by tightening permission checks for opening handles. Previously, even privileged services could access the namespaces of other privileged services, potentially leading to information leaks. The vulnerability has been fixed by implementing a centralized policy that restricts visibility between namespaces, ensuring that services cannot inadvertently share sensitive information. This issue affects Linux kernel versions 6.18 and later.
