Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-89640

medium Nessus Plugin ID 345413

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.

 - cifs: fix loff_t underflow in cifs_remap_file_range() when len == 0 With len == 0 (clone to EOF), the effective length is computed as: len = src_inode->i_size - off; If off > i_size, this is a negative loff_t, corrupting the ByteCount in the FSCTL_DUPLICATE_EXTENTS_TO_FILE request and inverting the range in filemap_write_and_wait_range(). The existing off >= i_size check fires only after the ioctl has already been sent. Snapshot i_size_read() once for both the bounds check and the length calculation, eliminating the TOCTOU and 32-bit torn-read risk. Reject off > src_size with -EINVAL. Treat off == src_size as a no- op, consistent with __generic_remap_file_range_prep(). (CVE-2026-89640)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
