Summary

In the Linux kernel, the SELinux module had a bug in the avdcache auditing mechanism. It incorrectly saved and reused the audit vector instead of recomputing it based on current permissions, causing some access checks (e.g., directory write after a cached search check) to be missed.

Risk Assessment

The organization may miss audit logs for file and directory operations, hindering detection of unauthorized access attempts and violating security compliance requirements.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix for CVE-2026-53367. Monitor vendor advisories and apply the patch as soon as it is available.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: selinux: fix avdcache auditing The per-task avdcache was incorrectly saving and reusing the audited vector computed by avc_audit_required() rather than recomputing based on the currently requested permissions and distinguishing the denied versus allowed cases. As a result, some permission checks were not being audited, e.g. directory write checks after a previously cached directory search check. [PM: line wrap tweaks]
