# CVE-2026-99052: selinux: preserve NATIVE_LABELS on already-initialized sb in set_mnt_opts CVE-2026-99052 is fixed in 19 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-99052, released October 24, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-99052 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: 6.0 (Moderate) - EPSS: 0.0018 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Oct 23, 2026 - Vendor advisory: https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-99052 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: selinux: preserve NATIVE_LABELS on already-initialized sb in set_mnt_opts When an NFSv4 filesystem exported with security_label is mounted a second time, sget_fc() returns the existing superblock and nfs_get_root() calls security_sb_set_mnt_opts() again on it. Since the superblock is already SB_INITIALIZED, selinux_set_mnt_opts() takes an early exit without setting SECURITY_LSM_NATIVE_LABELS in *set_kern_flags. nfs_get_root() then sees kflags without SECURITY_LSM_NATIVE_LABELS set and clears NFS_CAP_SECURITY_LABEL on the shared nfs_server, silently disabling per-file labeling for both the new and the original mount. Commit 3815a245b501 ("security/selinux: fix SECURITY_LSM_NATIVE_LABELS on reused superblock") fixed the same problem in selinux_sb_clone_mnt_opts(). The reused-superblock path for a plain second mount now goes through sb_set_mnt_opts rather than sb_clone_mnt_opts, so it needs the same treatment: on both SE_SBINITIALIZED early exits, set SECURITY_LSM_NATIVE_LABELS in *set_kern_flags when the superblock was already using SECURITY_FS_USE_NATVE. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | bpftool6.12 amzn 2023 | 1:6.12.113-138.209.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | | Linux | bpftool6.12-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.12.113-138.209.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | | Linux | kernel-livepatch-6.12.113-138.209 amzn 2023 | 1:1.0-0.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.12 amzn 2023 | 1:6.12.113-138.209.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.12-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.12.113-138.209.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.12-debuginfo-common-aarch64 amzn 2023 | 1:6.12.113-138.209.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.12-debuginfo-common-x86_64 amzn 2023 | 1:6.12.113-138.209.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.12-devel amzn 2023 | 1:6.12.113-138.209.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.12-headers amzn 2023 | 1:6.12.113-138.209.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.12-modules-extra amzn 2023 | 1:6.12.113-138.209.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.12-modules-extra-common amzn 2023 | 1:6.12.113-138.209.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.12-tools amzn 2023 | 1:6.12.113-138.209.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.12-tools-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.12.113-138.209.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | | Linux | kernel6.12-tools-devel amzn 2023 | 1:6.12.113-138.209.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | | Linux | linux Debian 13.5 (trixie) | 6.12.113-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2026-99052](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2026-99052.md) | Oct 24, 2026 | | Linux | linux Debian 14 | 7.2.11-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2026-99052](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2026-99052.md) | Oct 24, 2026 | | Linux | perf6.12 amzn 2023 | 1:6.12.113-138.209.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | | Linux | perf6.12-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.12.113-138.209.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | | Linux | python3-perf6.12 amzn 2023 | 1:6.12.113-138.209.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | | Linux | python3-perf6.12-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 1:6.12.113-138.209.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2026-3335](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-3335.md) | Nov 7, 2026 | --- Data as of 2026-11-08T06:59:42Z UTC.
