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-2026-89670 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-2026-89670/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89670/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-89670","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89670/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-89670","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-89670","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-89670","GHSA-86jr-9j73-5pc8","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-89670"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel NFS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel NFS server allows attackers to trigger a use-after-free, potentially leading to code execution or privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"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\nnfsd: hold rcu across localio cmpxchg retry\n\nnfsd_file objects are freed via call_rcu (filecache.c:296), and\nnfsd_file_slab is created without SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU\n(KMEM_CACHE(nfsd_file, 0) at filecache.c:789), so the slab page\nbacking a freed nfsd_file becomes freely reclaimable once the RCU\ngrace period elapses.\n\nThe again: retry block in nfsd_open_local_fh() loads a pointer with\ncmpxchg and then calls nfsd_file_get(new) (which is\nrefcount_inc_not_zero) without holding rcu_read_lock.
