CVE-2026-16313 is a control-character injection vulnerability in sg3_utils. When invoked with the --export option, sg_inq emits device identification data without sanitizing control characters in SCSI name string fields. Embedded newlines in attacker-controlled device names can inject arbitrary properties into the udev device database. An attacker able to present a crafted SCSI device could thereby cause arbitrary commands to execute as root when the device is disconnected.

A flaw in sg3_utils allows an attacker who can present a crafted SCSI device to inject arbitrary udev properties through unsanitized device identification strings exported by sg_inq. This can lead to arbitrary command execution as root when the device is disconnected. The advisory reports a high-severity CVSS v3 score of 7.6. Nessus detects affected installations using self-reported package versions rather than testing exploitation.
A flaw in sg3_utils allows an attacker who can present a crafted SCSI device to inject arbitrary udev properties through unsanitized device identification strings. This can lead to arbitrary command execution as root when the device is disconnected. The advisory covers EulerOS 2.0 SP13 and reports a CVSS v3 base score of 7.6. Nessus detects affected package versions rather than testing exploitation.
A vulnerability in sg3_utils allows an attacker who can present a crafted SCSI device to inject arbitrary properties into the udev device database through unsanitized sg_inq --export output. This can lead to arbitrary command execution as root when the device is disconnected. The advisory identifies affected packages in EulerOS 2.0 SP11 and reports a CVSS v3 base score of 7.6. Nessus detects affected package versions rather than testing exploitation.
A high-severity vulnerability affecting sg3_utils packages on Oracle Linux 7. The reference reports a CVSS v3 base score of 7.6 but does not describe the underlying flaw. Oracle published a security update on October 7, 2026. Nessus identifies affected installations using self-reported package versions rather than testing exploitation.
