Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-90302)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-90302). 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:
ocfs2: synchronize heartbeat callbacks with o2net teardown
Patch series "ocfs2: harden heartbeat teardown races".
This series fixes two OCFS2 heartbeat/o2net teardown races found by
KASAN.
This patch (of 2):
Heartbeat callbacks stay registered while configfs local-node teardown
enters o2net_stop_listening(). A node-down event can still run through
o2net_disconnect_node() and o2net_set_nn_state() while teardown is
destroying o2net_wq, so the later queue/flush operations can hit a dead
workqueue. KASAN has caught this as a slab-use-after-free in
__queue_work() with the call chain:
