Recent AccountsService vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-61897 and CVE-2026-61898) allow local attackers to execute arbitrary commands as administrators on Ubuntu 14.04, 16.04, 18.04, and 20.04 LTS. The flaws derive from improper handling of privileges and configuration (SetLanguage patch and helpers); Ubuntu published USN-8580-2 with updates and advises users to update and reboot to mitigate these critical issues.
