CVE-2026-89994 in Linux
Riassunto
di MITRE • 16/09/2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: fsl-edma: tracing: no ptr dereference during log output
The fsl edma events store a pointer to a struct fsl_edma_engine in the ringbuffer and dereference it when a log entry is printed. At this time, the pointer may no longer be valid.
Event injection can be used to trigger a crash:
$ cd /sys/kernel/tracing $ echo 'value = 0' > events/fsl_edma/edma_writeb/inject $ cat trace
The log output needs only edma->membase. Add a membase field at the end of the event and use the new field for log output. Keep the existing fields for backward compatibility.
Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
