CVE-2026-89990

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ceph: lock mutex in ceph_mds_check_access() MDS session OPEN handling replaces mdsc->s_cap_auths under mdsc->mutex, freeing the previous array and its strings. ceph_mds_check_access() traverses this array without holding the mutex. A concurrent session reopen can therefore free the array while it is being inspected, resulting in a use-after-free like this: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 003aaad64b2c8bb9 [...] Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000004 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 56 UID: 2953037534 PID: 1253231 Comm: php-cgi8.4 Not tainted 6.18.45-i2-ampere #1146 NONE [..] pc : ceph_mds_check_access+0xd4/0x550 lr : ceph_mds_check_access+0xc8/0x550 [...] Call trace: ceph_mds_check_access+0xd4/0x550 (P) ceph_atomic_open+0x138/0xbe8 path_openat+0xa24/0xfa8 do_filp_open+0x94/0x158 do_sys_openat2+0x88/0xf8
