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-2026-89699 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-2026-89699/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89699/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-89699","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89699/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-89699","record":{"aliases":["AZL-100310","BELL-CVE-2026-89699","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-89699","GHSA-864v-pq9r-vg9w","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-89699"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel NFS server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A remote attacker can cause memory exhaustion in the Linux kernel NFS server by sending oversized symlink targets, leading to denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnfsd: validate symlink target length in NFSv4 CREATE\n\nnfsd4_decode_create() accepts an unbounded cr_datalen from the wire for\nNF4LNK symlink targets, allowing a client to force a kmalloc of up to\nthe maximum RPC payload size (several MiB) per COMPOUND op that persists\nuntil compound teardown.
