{"identifier":"CVE-2026-99051","cve":{"id":"CVE-2026-99051","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nfsverity: RCU-delay the freeing of struct fsverity_info\n\n__fsverity_get_info() calls rhashtable_lookup_fast(), which just uses\nrcu_read_lock() and doesn't directly synchronize with\nfsverity_remove_info().\n\nFor the same inode this isn't a problem: its fsverity_info is removed\nonly at inode eviction time or upon failure to enable verity, when the\ninode no longer needs its fsverity_info and it will no longer be\naccessed via that inode.\n\nHowever, this is broken and can cause a use-after-free for concurrent\n__fsverity_get_info() for *different* inodes.  Those rely on following\nfsverity_info::rhash_head in the rhashtable under rcu_read_lock() only.\nThey also use fsverity_info::inode to do the key comparison.\n\nFix this by RCU-delaying the freeing of 'struct fsverity_info' after\nit's been removed from the rhashtable.","published":"2026-10-23T13:17:28.633000+00:00","modified":"2026-10-24T14:16:53.773000+00:00","status":"Received","score":7.8,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","cvss_version":"3.1","affected":[],"weaknesses":[],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e58c3805ed325fe2d4ae2dd467c0486cc860b733","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fa84f091a8e7fc46fd29834496fab9739dd4c8dc","source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67"}],"kev":null,"kev_checked":true,"metrics":{"cvssMetricV31":[{"source":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","type":"Secondary","cvssData":{"version":"3.1","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","baseScore":7.8,"baseSeverity":"HIGH","attackVector":"LOCAL","attackComplexity":"LOW","privilegesRequired":"LOW","userInteraction":"NONE","scope":"UNCHANGED","confidentialityImpact":"HIGH","integrityImpact":"HIGH","availabilityImpact":"HIGH"},"exploitabilityScore":1.8,"impactScore":5.9}]},"configurations":[],"source":"nvd","retrieved_at":"2026-10-28T10:20:57.927639+00:00","exploited":false,"kev_stale":false,"products":[],"priority":{"label":"Assess exposure and vendor guidance","reasons":["No higher-priority signal is available in the current stored evidence."]},"epss":{"probability":0.00153,"percentile":0.04388,"date":"2026-10-29","stale":false},"version_assessment":null},"news":[],"campaigns":[],"domains":[{"domain":"git.kernel.org","source_url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e58c3805ed325fe2d4ae2dd467c0486cc860b733","investigate_url":"https://investigate.aeglixmind.com/#git.kernel.org"}],"arsenal_url":"https://arsenal.aeglixmind.com/?cve=CVE-2026-99051","catalog_url":"https://cves.aeglixmind.com/cve/CVE-2026-99051","research_url":"https://investigate.aeglixmind.com/research/cve/CVE-2026-99051","coverage":{"news_candidates_checked":0,"campaign_candidates_checked":0,"bounded":false,"notice":"Exact CVE mentions in stored public excerpts and reviewed campaign content only.
