CVE-2026-10037  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:26.04 mailcap to version 3.75ubuntu1.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mailcap package and not the mailcap package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:26.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

A sandbox escape vulnerability exists in the OpenJDK packages provided in Ubuntu. The .jar MIME handlers installed by these packages execute files marked as executable when the mailcap package is installed. A compromised or malicious sandboxed application with access to the OpenURI portal via xdg-desktop-portal-gtk can write a malicious .jar file to the host file system, set its executable bit, and trigger the handler to execute arbitrary code outside of the sandbox environment.
