CVE-2026-89640info

Summary

by MITRE • 09/11/2026

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

cifs: fix loff_t underflow in cifs_remap_file_range() when len == 0

With len == 0 (clone to EOF), the effective length is computed as:

len = src_inode->i_size - off;

If off > i_size, this is a negative loff_t, corrupting the ByteCount in the FSCTL_DUPLICATE_EXTENTS_TO_FILE request and inverting the range in filemap_write_and_wait_range(). The existing off >= i_size check fires only after the ioctl has already been sent.

Snapshot i_size_read() once for both the bounds check and the length calculation, eliminating the TOCTOU and 32-bit torn-read risk. Reject off > src_size with -EINVAL. Treat off == src_size as a no-op, consistent with __generic_remap_file_range_prep().

Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
