It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-89609 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89609/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89609/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-89609","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89609/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-89609","record":{"aliases":["AZL-100740","BELL-CVE-2026-89609","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-89609","GHSA-c77f-5fp9-7h2f","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-89609"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel ecryptfs module can cause a denial of service due to missing lock protection during daemon queue cleanup.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\necryptfs: hold msg ctx list lock when cleaning daemon queue\n\necryptfs_exorcise_daemon() drops queued messages from a dying daemon\nwithout holding ecryptfs_msg_ctx_lists_mux, but\necryptfs_msg_ctx_alloc_to_free() requires that lock.\n\nTake the list lock while moving the queued contexts back to the free\nlist to avoid racing with other global msg ctx list users.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"ecryptfs: hold msg ctx list lock when cleaning daemon queue","id":"CVE-2026-89609","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"ntfs: verify run length exceeding volume boundary","id":"CVE-2026-89610"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ecryptfs: pass packet set buffer size to parser","id":"CVE-2026-89608"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-09-11","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel ecryptfs module can cause a denial of service due to missing lock protection during daemon queue cleanup.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89609/"}
