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-2026-89841 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-2026-89841/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89841/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-89841","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-89841/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-89841","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-89841","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-89841","GHSA-9c6f-r39g-mhg4","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-89841"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel f2fs","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A reference counting error in the f2fs filesystem can cause a use-after-free condition, leading to kernel crashes and denial of service.","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\nf2fs: only redirty pinned folios in redirty_blocks\n\nredirty_blocks() pins folios with read_cache_folio() and then walks the\nsame range again with filemap_lock_folio() to redirty them and drop the\nreferences it took.\n\nCommit 5951fee46bef (\"f2fs: Use a folio in redirty_blocks()\") changed\nthe second pass to a do/while loop.
