The sg_inq command, when invoked with the --export option, outputs device identification data without sanitizing control characters in SCSI name string fields. A newline character embedded in a device-supplied name string can inject arbitrary properties into the udev device database. This could allow an attacker who can present a crafted SCSI device to execute arbitrary commands as root when the device is disconnected. ## Remediation Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges. ## Vendor advisories - **RHSA-2026:63100** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.20 · released 2026-09-08 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:63100) - **RHSA-2026:63041** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.21 · released 2026-09-08 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:63041) - **RHSA-2026:54769** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.22 · released 2026-08-18 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:54769) - **RHSA-2026:50142** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS (v. 10), Red Hat Enterprise Linux CodeReady Linux Builder (v. 10) · released 2026-08-04 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:50142) - **RHSA-2026:56130** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS (v. 8), Red Hat Enterprise Linux CRB (v. 8) · released 2026-08-18 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:56130) - **RHSA-2026:59555** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS AUS (v.8.4), Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS EUS EXTENSION (v.8.4) · released 2026-08-25 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:59555) - **RHSA-2026:59567** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS AUS (v.8.6), Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS EUS EXTENSION (v.8.6) · released 2026-08-25 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:59567) - **RHSA-2026:59568** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS E4S (v.8.8), Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS TUS (v.8.8) · released 2026-08-25 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:59568) - **RHSA-2026:61261** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS E4S (v.9.2) · released 2026-08-31 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:61261) - **RHSA-2026:61260** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS E4S (v.9.4) · released 2026-08-31 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:61260) - **RHSA-2026:59397** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS EUS (v.9.6), Red Hat CodeReady Linux Builder EUS (v.9.6) · released 2026-08-25 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:59397) - **Red Hat VEX** · Important · affected: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 · no fix planned: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4 · updated 2026-09-24 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2026/cve-2026-16313.json) - **RHSA-2026:63044** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.19 · released 2026-09-09 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:63044) - **RHSA-2026:67157** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7 ELS), Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 7 ELS) · released 2026-09-14 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:67157) - **RHSA-2026:65907** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.12 · released 2026-09-17 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:65907) - **RHSA-2026:65851** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.18 · released 2026-09-17 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:65851) - **RHSA-2026:69124** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS EUS (v. 10.0), Red Hat Enterprise Linux CodeReady Linux Builder EUS (v. 10.0) · released 2026-09-21 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:69124) - **RHSA-2026:67935** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.16 · released 2026-09-24 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:67935)
