{"cve":"CVE-2026-89665","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-11T20:19:52.917","modified":"2026-10-19T09:18:04.497","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnfsd: reject out-of-range useconds in NFSv2 SETATTR/CREATE\n\nThe NFSv2 sattr decoder converts the wire useconds to nanoseconds in\nsvcxdr_decode_sattr():\n\n\tiap->ia_atime.tv_nsec = tmp2 * NSEC_PER_USEC;\n\ntmp2 is a u32 and NSEC_PER_USEC is 1000, so the product is computed in\nunsigned long. On ILP32 that is 32 bits, and an out-of-range useconds\nvalue such as 4294968 wraps to tv_nsec == 704. The corruption therefore\nhappens during decode, before any proc function can inspect the value,\nand a later range check on tv_nsec would see an in-range result and\naccept it. Rejecting in the decoder yields an RPC GARBAGE_ARGS reply.\nNFSv2 defines no NFSERR_INVAL, so there is no NFS-level status to return\nfor a malformed time argument, and the check cannot move to the proc\nfunction the way the v3/v4 nsec range checks do.\n\nGuard the raw useconds before the multiplication and reject values\ngreater than 1000000. useconds == 1000000 is kept: it is the Sun\nconvention for \"set to the current server time\", and the in-tree Linux\nNFSv2 client emits it in both the atime and the mtime field for a plain\ntouch / utimes(file, NULL) (see encode_sattr() and\nxdr_encode_current_server_time() in fs/nfs/nfs2xdr.c). Rejecting 1000000\nwould turn that common operation into a hard decode failure for both\nSETATTR and CREATE. 1000000 * NSEC_PER_USEC is 10^9, which does not wrap\non ILP32, so the Sun convention value passes through safely. Only\ngenuinely out-of-range values (> 1000000) are rejected. The atime and\nmtime guards are therefore symmetric.\n\nThe decoder only applied the Sun convention in the mtime block, which\nclears ATTR_ATIME_SET|ATTR_MTIME_SET when mtime useconds == 1000000. If a\nclient puts 1000000 in the atime field but not in the mtime field, the\natime block stored an out-of-range tv_nsec (10^9) and left ATTR_ATIME_SET\nset, so the bogus value reached the filesystem. Apply the convention in\nthe atime block as well, clearing ATTR_ATIME_SET so the server uses its\ncurrent time and ignores the value. Only ATTR_ATIME_SET is cleared there.\nThe mtime block keeps its existing behavior, where 1000000 means \"set\nboth atime and mtime to now\".\n\n[ cel: various tweaks, addenda, and clean-ups ]","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:L","score":8.2},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/09a79d9ab35a39603c834e8f6333603292f9c816","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1195483965a5f63d2dde18054ec7e50a23b9071c","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1db456ffc22e045f49f7b9e62415a26b3f33f200","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/26709c8ffe73772eb69e68d553ac71d91228dccc","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5296a2442d12d45d6eea7b4d3ec3ffecc1821cac"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:53:43.293028046+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-89665","score":0.00621,"percentile":0.49454,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
