CVE-2026-89989
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ima: Check for ERR_PTR from dentry_path() in validate_hash_algo()
dentry_path() returns ERR_PTR(-ENAMETOOLONG) when the path exceeds the buffer. validate_hash_algo() passes the result straight to integrity_audit_msg() without checking. ERR_PTR is not NULL, so integrity_audit_message() sees a valid pointer and calls strlen() on it, which faults:
Check for IS_ERR() and use NULL instead, which makes the audit message skip the name= field instead of crashing.
