Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-89911)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-89911). 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:
KVM: arm64: Correctly cap TLBI Range to the architural limit
TLB Invalidation by Range has a fairly powerful way of encoding pretty
large ranges in a small number of bits. This range can be based on an
arbitrary VA, which means it is pretty easy for a guest to generate an
overflow should the hypervisor be naive enough to add the range to the
base...
Make sure the range is capped to the limit dictated by the address bit
that determines the VA range. For an IPA invalidation, this is further
corrected down the line to ignore the upper range.

CVE-2026-89911 (Linux kernel) — CVSS v3 7.9
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 7.9/10). 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.
