Improper locking in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-80534

Vulnerability identifier: #VU145957

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-80534

CWE-ID: CWE-667

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper lock release in xfs_dq_get_next_id when handling an error from xfs_iread_extents. A local user can trigger the error condition during quota operations to cause a denial of service.

The issue can leave the quota inode locked, causing subsequent quota operations to hang.
