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-2026-89831 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-2026-89831/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89831/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-89831","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89831/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-89831","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-89831","GHSA-gh89-f7g4-6qgp","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-89831"],"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":"high_privilege","summary":"A race condition in the Linux kernel f2fs filesystem allows local attackers to cause a denial of service by racing sysfs writes with thread teardown.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nf2fs: protect critical_task_priority updates with s_umount\n\nThe sysfs store path already takes s_umount for GC thread control\nentries, and ckpt_thread_ioprio is covered as well.\n\ncritical_task_priority also updates checkpoint or GC kthread scheduling\nstate, but it is not covered by that serialization.
