CVE-2026-89636
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: clear ce->tgthint in free_tgts()
When free_tgts() frees all structures in ce->tlist, ce->tgthint is left pointing to one of the freed cache_dfs_tgt structures.
If ce->tgthint is not reset before it is used later, it results in a use-after-free.
Set ce->tgthint to NULL in free_tgts() after the elements are freed to reflect that no elements remain.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 9.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.66%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 50
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
