Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-89715

high Nessus Plugin ID 345357

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - NFS/localio: fix ref leak on nfs_uuid_add_file failure When nfs_uuid_add_file() races with nfs_uuid_put() tearing down uuid->net, it returns -ENXIO without publishing nfl->nfs_uuid via rcu_assign_pointer().
 nfs_open_local_fh() then enters its error branch and only releases the slot's file ref and its paired net ref plus its own entry-time net ref, while the close path is a no-op: nfs_close_local_fh() nfs_uuid = rcu_dereference(nfl->nfs_uuid); if (!nfs_uuid) { rcu_read_unlock(); return; } /* always */ nfsd_open_local_fh() returns localio holding a caller-owned +1 nfsd_file reference (from nfsd_file_get() after nfsd_file_acquire_local()) and an entry-time nfsd_net reference (from its first nfsd_net_try_get()) embedded as nf->nf_net. Both are leaked on the failure path, pinning one nfsd_file (and the underlying struct file, dentry, inode) and one nfsd_net_ref per occurrence, which blocks nfsd_net and netns teardown.
 Fix by releasing the caller-owned file ref and its net ref through the existing helper, using a stack- local RCU pointer so the helper can xchg it out, then returning -ENXIO so callers do not dereference a localio whose slot has been cleared: struct nfsd_file __rcu *tmp = RCU_INITIALIZER(localio);
 nfs_to_nfsd_file_put_local(pnf); nfs_to_nfsd_file_put_local(&tmp); localio = ERR_PTR(-ENXIO); The trailing nfs_to_nfsd_net_put(net) continues to release the outer net ref, so all three nfsd_net_try_get() increments are balanced on the error branch. (CVE-2026-89715)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
