{"id":"AZL-100316","summary":"CVE-2026-89643 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\naudit: avoid dropping live tree ref on fsnotify rule autoremove\n\naudit_del_rule() is used for both netlink deletion templates and internal\nfsnotify autoremove.  The former passes a parsed template which owns a\ntemporary tree reference; the latter passes the installed entry itself.\n\nThe unconditional audit_put_tree() at the end of audit_del_rule() assumes\nthe template case.  For mixed AUDIT_DIR plus AUDIT_EXE rules, an fsnotify\nautoremove event therefore drops the installed rule's live tree reference.\nRepeating this across rules sharing the same tree can free the tree while\nanother rule still references it, and a later autoremove dereferences the\nfreed pathname while comparing rules.\n\nMove the temporary-tree put to audit_rule_change(), the caller that owns\ndeletion templates.  Keep it in the AUDIT_DEL_RULE cleanup so both\nsuccessful deletion and -ENOENT still release the parser-owned tree.\n\n[PM: dropped unnecessary comment for line length reasons]","modified":"2026-09-14T05:26:59Z","published":"2026-09-11T20:19:50Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-89643"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-89643"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.150.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-100316.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
