{"id":"AZL-100697","summary":"CVE-2026-89489 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nopenrisc: fix arbitrary kernel memory access via or1k_atomic syscall\n\nsys_or1k_atomic() (syscall 244 in the \"or1k\" ABI) takes two user\npointers, v1 and v2, and swaps the words they point to in hand-written\nassembly.\n\n    l.lwz   r29,0(r4)\n    l.lwz   r27,0(r5)\n    l.sw    0(r4),r27\n    l.sw    0(r5),r29\n\nThe pointers are not checked with access_ok(). The four memory\naccesses also have no exception table entries.\n\nA caller passes a kernel address as either pointer, and the syscall\nreads from and writes to it directly.\n\nThis gives an unprivileged process a kernel read/write primitive. It\noverwrites kernel data such as the sys_call_table, gaining code\nexecution in kernel context.\n\nCheck both pointers before entering the critical section. Add fixups\nfor the four memory accesses so faults on valid but unmapped user\naddresses return -EFAULT.\n\n[shorne@gmail.com: fix comment style]","modified":"2026-09-13T06:06:36Z","published":"2026-09-11T20:19:30Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-89489"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-89489"}],"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-100697.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
