CVE-2026-89711
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: remove flawed WARN_ON_ONCE from nfsd_mode_check
The header for commit e75b23f9e323 ("nfsd: check d_can_lookup in fh_verify of directories") details the assumption that justified adding the WARN_ON_ONCE to nfsd_mode_check(), that assumption is invalid (in the case of NFS reexport).
When NFSD exports an NFS filesystem it is very possible for nfsd_mode_check() to encounter a @dentry that doesn't have i_op->lookup (see nfs_fhget()'s NFS_ATTR_FATTR_MOUNTPOINT and NFS_ATTR_FATTR_V4_REFERRAL handling, and d_flags_for_inode()).
So remove nfsd_mode_check()'s WARN_ON_ONCE(). The nfserr_notdir return on that branch must stay.

It guards the subsequent lookup_one_unlocked() -> __lookup_slow() path, which calls inode->i_op->lookup() with no NULL check, so returning nfserr_notdir is what keeps a client LOOKUP into such a @dentry from dereferencing a NULL method pointer.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H
- Puntuación base: 8.2
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.44%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 36
- Fecha de la puntuación: 5/10/2026
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).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1190Exploit Public-Facing Applicationinitial access75 % - Impacto principal
T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact70 % - Impacto secundario
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation60 %
Vector CVSS AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N indica explotación remota sin privilegios previos (T1190). NULL pointer dereference permite DoS o escalada local en kernel Linux; impactos: denegación de servicio y potencial ejecución de código en contexto del kernel.
