CVE-2026-89609
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ecryptfs: hold msg ctx list lock when cleaning daemon queue
ecryptfs_exorcise_daemon() drops queued messages from a dying daemon without holding ecryptfs_msg_ctx_lists_mux, but ecryptfs_msg_ctx_alloc_to_free() requires that lock.
Take the list lock while moving the queued contexts back to the free list to avoid racing with other global msg ctx list users.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.18%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 6
- Fecha de la puntuación: 4/10/2026
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).
