CVE-2026-93191 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-93191: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: smack: fix incorrect task context in smack_msg_queue_msgrcv The smack_msg_queue_msgrcv() function incorrectly checks the permissions of the 'current' task instead of the 'target' task. In the msgsnd() syscall path, if a receiver is already waiting, the pipelined_send() optimization is used to push the message directly to the receiver task: ipc/msg.c`pipelined_send(): ` smp_store_release(&msr->r_msg, msg) In this case, the 'sender' (current) task performs the check on behalf of the 'receiver' task (msr->r_tsk, passed as the 'target' parameter): ipc/msg.c`pipelined_send(): ` security_msg_queue_msgrcv(,, target := msr->r_tsk,,) However, smack_msg_queue_msgrcv() ignores the 'target' and checks 'current': smack_msg_queue_msgrcv(…) ` smk_curacc_msq(isp, MAY_READWRITE); // current task 'current' MAY satisfy smack_msg_queue_msgrcv r/w requirement, but 'target' (the receiver task) might NOT; as a result, an unauthorized receiver gets the message, violating MAC policy. Test: 1) create a sysv message queue with label “foo” 2) echo "bar foo r" >/smack/load2 3) msgrcv(,,,0,MSG_NOERROR) in "bar"-labeled task. The task is waiting for the messages ... 4) msgsnd() from a "foo"-labeled task: "bar"-labeled task gets the message. This patch fixes the issue by checking permission on the 'target' task instead of 'current'. (2008-02-04, Casey Schaufler)

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-93191

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-93191 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-93191

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-93191.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-93191, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
