Integer overflow in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-89840
Published: September 17, 2026
Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause data corruption and a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to an integer overflow in the F2FS F2FS_IOC_MOVE_RANGE operation when moving a range with unchecked destination offsets. A local user can invoke the operation with crafted range offsets to cause data corruption and a denial of service.
A source hole can cause the block-cloning operation to succeed while extending the destination inode using an unchecked destination end position.
