Technical details
A time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition exists in the APR/Native connector's Unix domain socket creation. An unprivileged local attacker can exploit the window between socket creation and permission setting to gain unauthorized access. The vulnerability requires local network access and does not affect the NIO connector, which was addressed in a prior fix (CVE-2026-65183).
