CVE-2026-89990 in Linux
Summary
by MITRE • 09/17/2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: lock mutex in ceph_mds_check_access()
MDS session OPEN handling replaces mdsc->s_cap_auths under mdsc->mutex, freeing the previous array and its strings.
ceph_mds_check_access() traverses this array without holding the mutex. A concurrent session reopen can therefore free the array while it is being inspected, resulting in a use-after-free like this:
