The GETALL and SETALL commands in semctl(2) recorded the number of semaphores in the target set, dropped the lock protecting the set, allocated a buffer sized for that count, and reacquired the lock. A sequence-number check was used to verify that the set had not been replaced in the interim, but the sequence number wraps after 0x8000 create/destroy cycles. By rapidly destroying and recreating semaphore sets at the same index, another process can cause the sequence number to wrap, allowing a set with a different number of semaphores to pass validation. The subsequent copy then reads or writes past the end of the allocated buffer. An unprivileged local user can trigger out-of-bounds reads and writes on kernel heap memory, potentially leading to privilege escalation.
Casky was already ahead
This CVE exploits attack patterns that Casky's 277matched skills already investigate — long before this vulnerability was disclosed. Claude's reasoning model maps these techniques to MITRE ATT&CK, so practitioners who ran these skills have already seen the threat behaviour in their findings.
CVE-2026-58087 is a critical race condition vulnerability in the semctl(2) system call that affects the handling of GETALL and SETALL commands on semaphore sets. The vulnerability stems from a Time-of-Check-Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) flaw where a sequence number intended to detect semaphore set replacement wraps after only 0x8000 cycles, enabling attackers to rapidly destroy and recreate semaphore sets to cause the sequence check to fail. This allows an attacker to exploit a buffer overflow (CWE-787) combined with integer underflow (CWE-191) and out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) conditions. Any Linux system running vulnerable kernel versions is affected, particularly those with multi-user access or containerized environments where process isolation is weak, potentially allowing local privilege escalation or denial of service.
Casky's 277 mapped skills leverage Claude's extended reasoning to identify this vulnerability pattern across TA0002 (Execution) and TA0003 (Persistence) attack phases. Practitioners would observe detection patterns flagging suspicious semctl sequences showing rapid create/destroy cycles on semaphore sets, followed by GETALL/SETALL operations with mismatched buffer allocations. The platform would correlate process behavior indicating attempts to trigger sequence number wraparound, cross-reference system call arguments for integer inconsistencies, and identify memory access patterns consistent with buffer overflow exploitation. Security teams would receive findings highlighting the temporal relationship between semaphore set manipulation and kernel memory operations, enabling them to detect both in-development exploits and actual post-compromise activities leveraging this technique before successful exploitation occurs.
