CVE-2026-90259 in Linux
Riassunto
di MITRE • 17/09/2026
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: qgroup: fix a wrong length calculation in qgroup_free_reserved_data()
In that function, we round down the start position and round up the ending position.
But during the calculation of @len, we use "round_up(start + len, sectorsize)", which is the rounded up end position, not the rounded up length.
Which results a much larger length, and later we are still using "start + len", which is completely incorrect.
Fix it by declaring a local @aligned_start and @aligned_len and use them instead.
Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
