{"cve":"CVE-2026-89667","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-11T20:19:53.177","modified":"2026-10-19T09:18:04.767","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnfsd: close shrinker/GC/fsnotify vs per-net shutdown race in filecache\n\nThe shrinker, GC worker, and fsnotify/lease callbacks can unhash an\nnfsd_file from the rhashtable and then call\nnfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed() to move it to the per-net dispose list.\nIf nfsd_file_cache_shutdown_net() runs concurrently, its rhashtable walk\nmisses the already-unhashed file, and its drain of the per-net dispose\nlist can run before the file has been queued.  The file then sits on\nthe per-net list with no thread to drain it, leaking both the file and\nits associated state.\n\nThe GC worker and shrinker already hold nfsd_gc_lock while walking the\nLRU, but in the original code they release it before calling\nnfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed().  The fsnotify/lease path\n(nfsd_file_close_inode) has no synchronization at all.\n\nFix this by:\n\n  1. Widening nfsd_gc_lock in both nfsd_file_gc() and nfsd_file_lru_scan()\n     to cover the nfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed() call.\n\n  2. Wrapping nfsd_file_close_inode() in nfsd_gc_lock so that all three\n     callers of nfsd_file_dispose_list_delayed() hold the lock.\n\n  3. Adding a spin_lock/unlock(nfsd_gc_lock) barrier in\n     nfsd_file_cache_shutdown_net() after the purge, so that any\n     in-progress disposal has fully completed before the per-net list\n     is drained.\n\nAll operations inside the lock are non-sleeping (rhashtable lookups,\natomic bit/refcount ops, list moves, svc_wake_up), so the spinlock is\nappropriate.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":8.1},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/08af9593e2b472fd98c00faf1bf03bdbb7203477","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/40162cfea79b9510380decfdd1795b754dc9f972","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6d6b9f6a75c3767250e9c23ace4e384ab8f7843e","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b15997b53b61c74fb4d083f7261d19f389ff854f"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:53:43.293028046+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-89667","score":0.00537,"percentile":0.44969,"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).
