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-2026-89769 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-2026-89769/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89769/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-89769","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89769/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-89769","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-89769","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-89769","GHSA-8vp9-2h56-3438","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-89769"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the NXP PIT clocksource driver allows attackers to potentially execute code or cause a denial of service via an IRQ leak.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/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\nclocksource/drivers/nxp-pit: Fix IRQ leak on cpuhp_setup_state error path\n\nWhen cpuhp_setup_state fails after pit_clockevent_per_cpu_init has\nsuccessfully called request_irq, the error handling jumps directly to\nout_pit_clocksource_unregister without freeing the registered IRQ.\n\nThis leaks the IRQ line and, since kfree(pit) follows, leaves a\ndangling pointer registered as the interrupt handler's dev_id,\npotentially leading to a use-after-free if the IRQ fires afterwards.\n\nFix it by calling pit_clockevent_per_cpu_exit to properly release the\nIRQ before falling through to the existing cleanup chain.","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":"clocksource/drivers/nxp-pit: Fix IRQ leak on cpuhp_setup_state error path","id":"CVE-2026-89769","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"iomap: don't free integrity payload that doesn't exist","id":"CVE-2026-89770"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"fs: fix user path of nested backing files","id":"CVE-2026-89768"},"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 use-after-free vulnerability in the NXP PIT clocksource driver allows attackers to potentially execute code or cause a denial of service via an IRQ leak.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89769/"}
