Summary

In the Linux kernel, the netfs_read_folio() function fails to wait for ongoing writeback to complete. This can lead to data corruption because the function trusts the dirty flag and folio->private data, which may be cleaned up before the writeback flag is cleared.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of potential data corruption or loss during file read operations via the netfs filesystem when writeback is in progress. This may cause unpredictable application behavior and compromise data integrity.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix for CVE-2026-64058. Monitor official Linux distribution security advisories for the patch.
