Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: psp: require admin permission for dev-set and key-rotate
The dev-set and key-rotate netlink operations modify shared device
state (PSP version configuration and cryptographic key material,
respectively) but do not require CAP_NET_ADMIN. The only access
control is psp_dev_check_access() which merely verifies netns
membership.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-52978 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
