Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-97619)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-97619). 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:
io_uring/rw: end write accounting from ->ki_complete
Commit b000145e9907 moved both the fsnotify calls and the write
accounting out of the kiocb completion handler and into the
io_req_rw_complete() task_work. However, only the fsnotify part actually
needed to move as it may sleep. Ending the write accounting is just a
percpu_up_read() on the superblock writers sem.
Deferring it is a problem, because it makes dropping SB_FREEZE_WRITE
protection depend on the ring owner getting to running task_work. But
the task may be blocked in freeze_super(), causing it to never get to
that:
task io-wq worker
io_write()
io_kiocb_start_write() (takes sb_writers, hidden from
lockdep by __sb_writers_release)
write_iter() -> -EIOCBQUEUED
ioctl(FS_IOC_SHUTDOWN)
bdev_freeze()
freeze_super()
percpu_down_write() <- waits for the reader above
io_write()
kiocb_start_write()
percpu_down_read() <- queued
behind the
writer
io_complete_rw()
queues io_req_rw_complete() <- never runs, task is in D state
End the write…

CVE-2026-97619 (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.
