CVE-2026-45259 – sigqueue(2) missing capability mode restriction

CVE ID :CVE-2026-45259

Published : June 27, 2026, 8:59 a.m. | 46 minutes ago

Description :sigqueue(2) was marked as permitted in capability mode with the introduction of Capsicum in 2011, but the implementation of kern_sigqueue did not include a capability mode check restricting signal delivery to the calling process’s own PID.

A process in capability mode can use sigqueue(2) to send signals to any process it could signal following standard Unix permissions, bypassing the Capsicum sandbox restriction. A compromised sandboxed process could interfere with other processes, for example by sending SIGKILL or SIGSTOP. This could be any process running as the same user, or any process, for a superuser sandboxed process.

Severity: 0.0 | NA
