Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-89545)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
CVSSv4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local user to trigger a use-after-free.
The vulnerability exists due to improper RCU synchronization in the SunRPC service request cleanup routine when RCU readers traverse the thread list after a service request is removed. A local user can cause RCU readers to dereference freed request argument memory to trigger a use-after-free.
The issue affects request data accessed by readers such as nfsd_nl_rpc_status_get_dumpit().
