An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-89672 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-2026-89672/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89672/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-89672","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89672/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-89672","record":{"aliases":["AZL-100368","BELL-CVE-2026-89672","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-89672","GHSA-cpgj-m749-r929","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-89672"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel NFS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can silently delete directory default ACLs via NFSv2 SETACL requests due to missing mask validation in the Linux kernel.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnfsd: gate nfs2 setacl by argp-\u003emask\n\nThe NFSACL v2 SETACL path shares the decoder convention used by its\nv3 sibling: nfsaclsvc_decode_setaclargs() fills in argp-\u003eacl_access\nonly when NFS_ACL is set in the request mask and argp-\u003eacl_default\nonly when NFS_DFACL is set, leaving the other pointer NULL because\nthe argument buffer is zeroed up to pc_argzero before decode.\n\nnfsacld_proc_setacl() then hands both pointers to set_posix_acl()\nunconditionally. set_posix_acl(idmap, dentry, type, NULL) is the VFS\n\"remove this ACL type\" operation, so an omitted arm is\nindistinguishable from an explicit request to delete that ACL.
