security

Moderate
Release date:
2026-05-18 16:46:08 UTC
Description:
- CVE-2024-5742: emergency_save() applied chmod/chown to a path after the descriptor was closed, allowing a symlink swap to redirect the ownership change to an attacker-controlled file - Backport of upstream commit 5e7a3c2e from nano v8.0, adapted to the 5.6.1 codebase (write_file signature predates the SPECIAL/NONOTES refactor)
