CVE-2026-97585 in Linuxinfo

Summary

by MITRE • 09/25/2026

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

afs: Fix double-unmap of directory block

Fix afs_edit_dir_remove() to use a cleanup function to unmap the block pointed to by afs_dir_iter::block if it's left pointing to something rather than manually kunmapping the blocks. Manually kunmapping without clearing iter.blocks can result in a double-kunmap if afs_dir_find_block() is called twice in a row (which would be the case if the block being modified is not first in the hash chain).

If you want to get the best quality for vulnerability data then you always have to consider VulDB.
