| CVE-2026-16743 | Med | 0.36 | 5.5 | 0.00 | Jul 24, 2026 | A flaw was found in accountsservice. The systemd-homed code path for SetIconFile opens a user-supplied filename as root without the validation and privilege drop performed by the classic handler. A local attacker with a systemd-homed-managed account can read arbitrary files… | ||
| CVE-2020-16126 | Low | 0.21 | 3.3 | 0.01 | Nov 11, 2020 | An Ubuntu-specific modification to AccountsService in versions before 0.6.55-0ubuntu13.2, among other earlier versions, improperly dropped the ruid, allowing untrusted users to send signals to AccountService, thus stopping it from handling D-Bus messages in a timely fashion. | ||
| CVE-2020-16127 | Low | 0.18 | 2.8 | 0.00 | Nov 11, 2020 | An Ubuntu-specific modification to AccountsService in versions before 0.6.55-0ubuntu13.2, among other earlier versions, would perform unbounded read operations on user-controlled ~/.pam_environment files, allowing an infinite loop if /dev/zero is symlinked to this location. | ||
| CVE-2018-14036 | Med | 0.00 | 6.5 | 0.03 | Jul 13, 2018 | Directory Traversal with ../ sequences occurs in AccountsService before 0.6.50 because of an insufficient path check in user_change_icon_file_authorized_cb() in user.c. | ||
| CVE-2012-2737 | 0.00 | — | 0.00 | Jul 22, 2012 | The user_change_icon_file_authorized_cb function in /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon in AccountsService before 0.6.22 does not properly check the UID when copying an icon file to the system cache directory, which allows local users to read arbitrary files via a race condition. |
