CVE-2026-90302
UnknownSummary
In the Linux kernel, a race condition in the OCFS2 filesystem during o2net teardown was found. Heartbeat callbacks may remain registered while the teardown destroys the o2net_wq workqueue, leading to a use-after-free in __queue_work(). The issue was detected by KASAN.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a kernel panic or potentially execute arbitrary code in the kernel, compromising system integrity and availability.
Recommendation
Apply the patch from the official Linux kernel source that synchronizes heartbeat callbacks with o2net teardown. Update the system to a kernel version containing the fix.
Other vulnerabilities in Linux kernel
See all- CVE-2026-98162Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the smb2_tree_connect() function of the SMB server (ksmbd) leaks a tree connection. When ksmbd_iov_pin_rsp() fails, the newly created tree connection is not disconnected, leading to a resource leak.
- CVE-2026-98161Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the nvdimm (pmem) pmem_submit_bio() function records a REQ_PREFLUSH error but continues to copy bio data and can later overwrite the error with a successful REQ_FUA flush. This allows data writes to run after a failed preflush and can complete the bio successfully despite the failed ordering barrier.
- CVE-2026-98160Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the staging rtl8723bs driver's rtw_sdio_if1_init() function frees padapter->HalData with kfree(), even though it was allocated via vzalloc(). Using kfree() to release a vmalloc-backed buffer can lead to memory corruption.
- CVE-2026-100079Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the USB Type-C (ucsi) subsystem's ucsi_register() creates per-instance debugfs entries, but ucsi_unregister() keeps them until ucsi_destroy(). Drivers like ucsi_glink that unregister/register the same UCSI instance across remoteproc restart then try to create an already existing debugfs directory.
- CVE-2026-100078Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the iwlwifi (mei) driver's iwl_mei_write_cyclic_buf() function receives an incorrect first argument — the q_head pointer is passed instead of cldev. The bug has been fixed.
- CVE-2026-100077Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the drm/msm driver does not safely retire a hung submit before GPU recovery completes. Retiring the submit triggers BO free, which can result in GPU pagefaults since the GPU may be actively accessing those BOs.
- CVE-2026-100074Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a bug was fixed where the BPF_REFCOUNT field was not marked as unique, although it should be. The fix addresses this oversight.
- CVE-2026-100073Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a bug in the ext4 filesystem related to transaction overflow during writeback was fixed. A previous fix was too eager in reducing reserved transaction credits, leading to insufficient reservation in some corner cases. The fix uses ext4_meta_trans_blocks() for a correct upper bound estimate.
- CVE-2026-100072Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a problem in the ACPI subsystem was fixed where the use of acpi_get_first_physical_node() in acpi_platform_fill_resource() and acpi_create_platform_device() was unsafe because the returned device could be freed at any time. The fix replaces it with acpi_bus_get_primary_device() and adjusts the code to call it only once.
- CVE-2026-100071Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a memory leak in the HSR (High-availability Seamless Redundancy) module was fixed. When hsr_dev_finalize() fails after registering an RX handler, dynamic nodes learned in that window are not released. The fix frees both dynamic databases in the error unwind path.
Original NVD description (English source)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: synchronize heartbeat callbacks with o2net teardown Patch series "ocfs2: harden heartbeat teardown races". This series fixes two OCFS2 heartbeat/o2net teardown races found by KASAN. This patch (of 2): Heartbeat callbacks stay registered while configfs local-node teardown enters o2net_stop_listening(). A node-down event can still run through o2net_disconnect_node() and o2net_set_nn_state() while teardown is destroying o2net_wq, so the later queue/flush operations can hit a dead workqueue. KASAN has caught this as a slab-use-after-free in __queue_work() with the call chain: KASAN slab-use-after-free in __queue_work+0x56/0xa90 Read of size 4 Call trace: dump_stack_lvl+0x66/0xa0 print_report+0xce/0x630 __queue_work+0x56/0xa90 srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5 __virt_addr_valid+0x19f/0x330 kasan_report+0xe0/0x110 __queue_delayed_work+0x58/0x1e0 queue_delayed_work_on+0xb4/0xc0 o2net_set_nn_state+0x467/0x840 o2net_disconnect_node+0x7b/0xe0 o2net_hb_node_down_cb+0x54/0x60 o2hb_run_event_list+0x236/0x2d0 o2hb_check_slot+0xad4/0xbc0 lock_release+0xc8/0x290 o2hb_check_slot+0x9ea/0xbc0 trace_hardirqs_on+0x18/0x130 o2hb_do_disk_heartbeat+0x646/0xb30 (fs/ocfs2/cluster/heartbeat.c:1079) __lock_acquire+0x466/0x2260 lockdep_hardirqs_on_prepare+0xea/0x1a0 ktime_get_with_offset+0xe9/0x230 o2hb_thread+0x14e/0x770 kthread+0x1ad/0x1f0 ret_from_fork+0x3c9/0x540 __switch_to+0x2e9/0x730 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 Allocated by task stack: kasan_save_stack+0x33/0x60 kasan_save_track+0x14/0x30 __kasan_kmalloc+0xaa/0xb0 __kmalloc_noprof+0x292/0x760 __alloc_workqueue+0x736/0xc60 alloc_workqueue_noprof+0xb1/0x110 o2net_start_listening+0xe5/0x430 o2nm_node_local_store+0x184/0x310 configfs_write_iter+0x18a/0x210 vfs_write+0x469/0x810 ksys_write+0xd2/0x170 do_syscall_64+0x115/0x6a0 (arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c:87) entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Freed by task stack: kasan_save_stack+0x33/0x60 kasan_save_track+0x14/0x30 kasan_save_free_info+0x3b/0x60 __kasan_slab_free+0x5f/0x80 kfree+0x313/0x590 rcu_core+0x4f4/0x1320 handle_softirqs+0x156/0x660 queue_delayed_work_on o2net_set_nn_state o2net_disconnect_node o2net_hb_node_down_cb o2hb_run_event_list Keep heartbeat callbacks registered so quorum state still tracks node state, but stop them from driving o2net reconnect/disconnect work once local teardown starts. Mark the transport offline before destroying o2net_wq, wait for any in-flight heartbeat callback to finish, and delay bring-up replay until the new local node is published through o2nm_this_node(). The replay also has to stay serialized with heartbeat callback delivery. Otherwise a live-node snapshot can be copied, a real hb_down callback can install -ENOTCONN for a peer, and the stale replay can call o2net_hb_node_up() for that same peer and queue reconnect work even though heartbeat is already down. The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path: local-node teardown: heartbeat node-down callback: 1. configfs local-off enters 1. o2hb_run_event_list() invokes o2net_stop_listening(). o2net_hb_node_down_cb(). 2. teardown heads for 2. the callback reaches destroy_workqueue(o2net_wq). o2net_disconnect_node() and o2net_set_nn_state(). 3. teardown destroys and NULLs 3. the callback flushes or queues o2net_wq. work through o2net_wq.
