Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-93095)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-93095). 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:
hfsplus: validate thread record before delete key rebuild
hfsplus_delete_cat() is called with str == NULL when the last open
reference to an unlinked HFS+ hardlink backing inode is closed. In that
case, the function finds the catalog thread by CNID and rebuilds the
catalog key from thread.nodeName.
That reconstruction path reads thread.nodeName.length directly from the
catalog B-tree into fd.search_key and then copies length * 2 bytes into
fd.search_key->cat.name.unicode. It does not first check that the found
record is a thread record or that its size matches the thread name.
A corrupted image can therefore provide an oversized thread name length
and make hfs_bnode_read() write past the catalog search-key allocation.
Read the CNID record through hfsplus_brec_read_cat(), which bounds the
record read to sizeof(hfsplus_cat_entry) and verifies that a thread
record's size exactly matches nodeName.length. Together, these checks
ensure an accepted thread name fits HFSPLUS_MAX_STRLEN. Reject non-thread
records before building the delete key from the validated thread name.
Share the thread-record-type helper between hfsplus_find_cat() and
hfsplus_delete_cat().

CVE-2026-93095 (Linux kernel) — CVSS v3 7.8
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 7.8/10). 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.
