CVE-2026-89609info

Summary

by MITRE • 09/11/2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ecryptfs: hold msg ctx list lock when cleaning daemon queue

ecryptfs_exorcise_daemon() drops queued messages from a dying daemon without holding ecryptfs_msg_ctx_lists_mux, but ecryptfs_msg_ctx_alloc_to_free() requires that lock.

Take the list lock while moving the queued contexts back to the free list to avoid racing with other global msg ctx list users.

Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
