Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-89834)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-89834). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to migrate all curseg types during free_segment_range
In free_segment_range(), the curseg evacuation loop only iterates up to
NR_CURSEG_PERSIST_TYPE (0..5), missing non-persistent in-memory curseg
types such as CURSEG_COLD_DATA_PINNED and CURSEG_ALL_DATA_ATGC.
Even though these in-memory curseg types are not saved in the on-disk
checkpoint header, they still occupy active physical segments at runtime.
If an active in-memory curseg happens to be allocated within the segment
range being truncated during filesystem shrink, failing to evacuate it
will cause subsequent writes to the curseg attempting out-of-bounds I/O
on the truncated storage range.
Fix this by expanding the curseg evacuation loop upper bound to
NR_CURSEG_TYPE to ensure all active curseg types are safely migrated
out of the target range.

CVE-2026-89834 (Linux kernel)
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: ?. Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
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.
