Description

1) Missing Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-89694)
CWE-ID: CWE-862 - Missing Authorization
CVSSv4: 5.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in the NFS server copy-notify state management function when processing OFFLOAD_CANCEL requests. A remote user can send an OFFLOAD_CANCEL request for another client's copy-notify stateid to cause a denial of service.
Copy-notify stateid object identifiers are allocated cyclically and are guessable.
