Use-after-free in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-89848

Vulnerability identifier: #VU150434

CSH Severity: High

CVSS v4: 9.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-89848

CWE-ID: CWE-416

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the qla2xxx request queue handling when processing response-queue interrupts during queue teardown. A remote attacker can trigger a late response completion during queue teardown to compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
