That fix guards only the final path component (os.chown with follow_symlinks=False and O_NOFOLLOW in _safe_open_write()). When an unprivileged local user replaces their ~/.ssh directory with a symlink to a directory they do not own, and an operator subsequently runs the authorized_key task as root (a common provisioning pattern), the module resolves its path operations through the symlink: atomic_move() writes the temporary file in the symlink target and renames it to <target>/authorized_keys, creating or overwriting a file in the attacker-chosen directory, and os.chmod(sshdir, 0o700) follows the symlink and changes the target directory's permissions. The written file is chowned to the unprivileged user, so this is not a privilege escalation, but it allows an attacker to create or overwrite files (for example in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/, which APT reads regardless of file ownership) to cause integrity and availability impacts.\nhttps://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-126644https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-126644https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2571732#RedHat #RedHatEnterpriseLinux10 #RedHatEnterpriseLinux9#CVE_2026_126644#bot", "url": "https://infosec.exchange/users/cve/statuses/117603117716038782"}], "metrics": {"as_of": "2026-11-12T13:17:05.367Z", "anchors": {"origin": {"timestamp": "2026-11-11T14:33:28.109Z", "date_only": false, "value": "2026-11-11T14:33:28.109Z", "kind": "other", "label": "Made public", "source": "cvelistv5 / redhat", "record": "CVE-2026-126644", "field": "containers.cna.datePublic", "metric_role": "disclosure", "metric_basis": "recorded_event"}, "discovery": null, "report": null, "acknowledgement": null, "disclosure": {"timestamp": "2026-11-11T14:33:28.109Z", "date_only": false, "value": "2026-11-11T14:33:28.109Z", "kind": "other", "label": "Made public", "source": "cvelistv5 / redhat", "record": "CVE-2026-126644", "field": "containers.cna.datePublic", "metric_role": "disclosure", "metric_basis": "recorded_event"}, "exploit_publication": null, "exploitation": null, "patch": null}, "vendor_response_time": {"available": false, "missing": ["start", "end"]}, "time_to_exploit": {"available": false, "missing": ["end"]}, "disclosure_to_exploit": {"available": false, "missing": ["end"]}, "disclosure_to_exploit_publication": {"available": false, "missing": ["end"]}, "time_to_patch": {"available": false, "missing": ["start", "end"]}, "total_time_to_patch": {"available": false, "missing": ["start", "end"]}, "disclosure_to_patch": {"available": false, "missing": ["end"]}, "time_unpatched": {"available": true, "seconds": 81817.258513, "hours": 22.727016253611108, "days": 0.9469590105671295, "min_seconds": 81817.258513, "max_seconds": 81817.258513, "approximate": false, "ongoing": true, "order_known": true, "batch_listing": false, "end_before_start": false, "start": {"timestamp": "2026-11-11T14:33:28.109Z", "date_only": false, "value": "2026-11-11T14:33:28.109Z", "kind": "other", "label": "Made public", "source": "cvelistv5 / redhat", "record": "CVE-2026-126644", "field": "containers.cna.datePublic", "metric_role": "disclosure", "metric_basis": "recorded_event"}, "end": {"timestamp": "2026-11-12T13:17:05.367Z", "date_only": false, "label": "As of", "source": "Calculation clock"}}, "exploitation_to_patch": {"available": false, "missing": ["start"]}, "exploit_publication_to_patch": {"available": false, "missing": ["start"]}}}
