CVE-2026-89857
CriticalCVSS 9.8Summary
In the Linux kernel, the scsi qla2xxx driver's qla_nvme_ls_reject_iocb() function lacks qpair locking when allocating and sending NVMe LS reject, potentially leading to concurrent access and corruption of the request ring state, causing duplicated or dropped commands.
Risk Assessment
May lead to command loss or duplication, affecting data integrity and system stability. In NVMe-FC environments, may cause I/O errors.
Recommendation
Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that takes qp_lock_ptr around the two unlocked callers. Monitor I/O errors in NVMe-FC systems.
Other vulnerabilities in Linux kernel
See all- CVE-2026-90046High
In the Linux kernel, free_pages_nolock() uses spin_trylock() in NMI context on uniprocessor (UP) systems, which is unsafe. The bug affects the page freeing path and can crash the kernel. It is likely exploitable by local attackers for privilege escalation.
- CVE-2026-90045High
In the Linux kernel USB gadget ffs driver, the io_data structure stores a pointer to the submitting task's mm_struct but does not hold a reference while async requests are pending. This can cause a use-after-free if the task exits before completion handling finishes. The fix takes a reference with mmgrab() when queuing and releases it with mmdrop() on completion.
- CVE-2026-90044High
In the Linux kernel USB gadget f_fs driver, a use-after-free exists in the AIO error path. When ffs_epfile_io() fails with an error other than -EIOCBQUEUED, the io_data structure is freed, but the kiocb cancel function remains armed and points to the freed pointer. A concurrent cancel (e.g., sys_io_cancel()) can cause a use-after-free. The fix safely disarms the cancellation via kiocb->ki_complete() and returns -EIOCBQUEUED.
- CVE-2026-90043High
In the Linux kernel zram module, the slot lock bit is set in the wrong position on 64-bit big-endian systems. Instead of landing in the flags field, it lands in ac_time, so with ZRAM_TRACK_ENTRY_ACTIME enabled, storing the access time wipes out the held lock bit and lets another CPU take the same slot lock. An access time value with that bit set can make the slot appear locked forever. The fix shifts the lock bit into the flags half on big-endian 64-bit.
- CVE-2026-90041High
In the Linux kernel, the HID sony driver fails to remove a controller from the device list when HID core input device registration fails. The devres-managed sony_sc is freed while its list node remains linked, leading to use-after-free when the next matching controller is handled.
- CVE-2026-90039Unknown
In the Linux kernel, NFSD admin state-revocation handlers (unlock_filesystem, NFSD_CMD_UNLOCK_FILESYSTEM, NFSD_CMD_UNLOCK_EXPORT) only check nn->nfsd_serv, which is set before nn->conf_id_hashtbl is allocated. This leads to a NULL dereference when the server has not yet started.
- CVE-2026-90035Unknown
In the Linux kernel, get_estimated_bw() in the drm/amd/display driver divides by bw_granularity, which is zeroed and only populated after DP_TUNNELING_BW_ALLOC_CAP_CHANGED is handled. If a USB4/DPIA device reports an estimated-bandwidth change before a capability change, the DPCD interrupt handler triggers a division by zero.
- CVE-2026-90034Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the usb image mdc800 driver uses kmalloc() for irq_urb_buffer and download_urb_buffer in usb_mdc800_init(). If a shorter message is received in mdc800_usb_irq() or mdc800_usb_download_notify(), stack data may leak.
- CVE-2026-90033Unknown
In the Linux kernel, snd_usbmidi_us122l_output() in ALSA usb-audio picks a count of 2 for anything slower than high speed without relating it to ep->max_transfer. With a device declaring a one-byte bulk endpoint, the memset computes 1 - 2 in int and wraps to SIZE_MAX, causing an out-of-bounds write.
- CVE-2026-90024Unknown
A null-pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's USB gadget MIDI 2.0 function, specifically in f_midi2_free_ep_reqs(). When configuring a MIDI 2.0 gadget via configfs with block direction set to SNDRV_UMP_DIR_INPUT, the midi1_ep_out endpoint is not initialized, leaving usb_ep->card as NULL. When the host later sets the alternate setting, f_midi2_free_ep_reqs() is called for the uninitialized endpoint, causing a kernel crash.
Original NVD description (English source)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: qla2xxx: Hold qpair lock when sending NVMe LS reject qla_nvme_ls_reject_iocb() allocates from and advances the request ring through __qla2x00_alloc_iocbs() (which assumes the hardware_lock is held) and qla2x00_start_iocbs() (which advances the ring and rings the request-in doorbell), but takes no lock itself. Two of its callers invoke it without the producer lock held: - qla_nvme_xmt_ls_rsp(), the NVMe-FC .xmt_ls_rsp transport callback, on its error path, and - qla2xxx_process_purls_pkt(), run from the purex work/DPC context. Both use ha->base_qpair, whose qp_lock_ptr is hardware_lock, so they can run concurrently with normal I/O submission on the base ring and corrupt the ring producer state, leading to duplicated or dropped commands. The third caller, qla2xxx_process_purls_iocb(), runs inside qla24xx_process_response_queue() with the qpair lock already held and is safe; that is also why the lock cannot be taken inside the helper itself (it would recursively re-acquire hardware_lock on the response path). Take qp_lock_ptr around the two unlocked callers and document the helper as caller-locked. Both run in process context, so spin_lock_irqsave() is used and nothing in the locked region sleeps.
