Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-89952

critical Nessus Plugin ID 346489

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.

 - mtd: rawnand: validate ONFI extended parameter page sections nand_flash_detect_ext_param_page() allocates the length declared by the ONFI parameter page, then treats the data as a fixed header followed by variable-length sections. It reads that header and advances over sections without first proving that the fixed page and each current section fit in the allocation. Reject pages shorter than the fixed header, track the remaining variable area while walking sections, and require the ECC section to contain every field read from struct onfi_ext_ecc_info. Use device-scoped diagnostics that identify the malformed ONFI section. (CVE-2026-89952)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
