{"cve":"CVE-2026-89712","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-11T20:19:58.620","modified":"2026-10-19T09:18:10.103","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nNFSD: restart ssc_expire_umount walk after dropping nfsd_ssc_lock\n\nnfsd4_ssc_expire_umount() walks nn->nfsd_ssc_mount_list with\nlist_for_each_entry_safe(ni, tmp, ...).  For each expired entry it\nsets nsui_busy = true, drops nfsd_ssc_lock to run mntput() on the\nsource vfsmount, then reacquires the lock to list_del + kfree the\nentry and continue iterating via the macro's saved tmp pointer.\n\nThe nsui_busy flag protects the current ni from concurrent\nnfsd4_ssc_setup_dul() finders during the lock-drop window, but it\ndoes not pin tmp.  Another nfsd RPC thread that fails its source-\nserver mount and reaches nfsd4_ssc_cancel_dul() will, during that\nsame window, take nfsd_ssc_lock, list_del + kfree its own ssc_umount\nitem, and release the lock.  If that item is the saved tmp of the\nexpire walk, the next iteration dereferences a freed\nnfsd4_ssc_umount_item.\n\nRestart the walk from the head after the mntput() unlock window so\nno saved next pointer survives the lock-drop.  The list is bounded\nby the number of active inter-server source mounts (typically small)\nand the expire delayed-work runs periodically rather than per-IO,\nso the restart is cheap.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/036c1b182f4da65363e79ec0ac276edc6b7296e5","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2b59029b8f24a99b5d844af2da3950d39d36eeea","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4ed8d2317aef21cc2a9e5a55d6b59860b4b151a8","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/60680ae7243b22de3d09be990d8e23bcfc4af837","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/659ee3da073164e1e6e40dfcbc26eeed85845f93"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:53:43.293028046+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-89712","score":0.00714,"percentile":0.53399,"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).
