CVE-2026-85092

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions LiME versions prior to 1.12.1

Description LiME fails to validate the disk acquisition output path and does not use the O NOFOLLOW flag when opening the operator-supplied path parameter. This allows unprivileged local users to overwrite arbitrary root-owned files. An attacker with control over the output directory can create a symbolic link with the expected filename pointing to any root-owned file; when the acquisition runs in kernel context, LiME follows the link and truncates the target file with the memory acquisition stream.

Recommendations Update LiME to a version newer than 1.12.0.
