Description Ganesh 2026-07-29 16:00:20 UTC 
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

An Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in open-iscsi allows remote MITM attackers  to create root-owned files outside the database and inject lines into the record.






This issue affects open-iscsi: from through 668ca1df9c9a1e9bdd5c999ae1d67c9c8909237e.
