Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6: out-of-bounds write
Medium4.0CVE-2026-102474 · Published Sep 29, 2026
A flaw was found in dash. The printf builtin reserves four bytes before converting a Unicode \u or \U escape, but the multi-byte token can need five or six bytes. A local user who can supply such an escape to dash printf or echo %b, including through dash -c and a positional argument, can write one or two bytes past that reservation.
