Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-89450)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-89450). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Reject a vSID wider than the SID_MATCH field
tegra241_vintf_init_vsid() programs the guest-provided vSID into SID_MATCH,
whose VIRT_SID field spans bits [20:1] with bit 0 as the match-enable flag.
The HW therefore matches only a 20-bit Stream ID.
The bound check rejects only virt_sid > UINT_MAX, which admits a value far
wider than the field. The write "virt_sid << 1 | 0x1" then drops every bit
above 20: a virt_sid of 0x80000000 lands as SID_MATCH = 0x1, a valid match
on vSID 0, so the entry aliases the wrong Stream ID. Because vdev->virt_id
is guest-controlled, a VMM can trigger it.
Validate virt_sid against the field width with FIELD_MAX(), and program the
register with FIELD_PREP() so the value and the field stay consistent.

CVE-2026-89450 (Linux kernel) — CVSS v3 8.8
Attack vector: local / no user interaction
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.8/10). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.
