{"id":"AZL-101282","summary":"CVE-2026-89913 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nKVM: arm64: vgic-v3: take an LPI reference in vgic_v3_save_pending_tables\n\nvgic_v3_save_pending_tables() iterates dist-\u003elpi_xa using xa_for_each()\nand dereferences the returned struct vgic_irq in the loop body without\nholding a reference on the LPI.\n\nThe xarray iterator only provides temporary RCU coverage while looking up\nthe current entry. That is not sufficient for this loop body, which reads\nfields from struct vgic_irq and performs guest memory accesses before the\niteration completes.\n\nA concurrent path can trigger this race: the irqfd cached injection path\n(vgic_its_inject_cached_translation) obtains a transient LPI reference\nvia vgic_its_check_cache() without holding kvm-\u003elock, vcpu-\u003emutex,\nconfig_lock, or its_lock. If guest ITS DISCARD then drops the cache and\nITE references under its_lock, the transient inject reference may become\nthe final one. When vgic_put_irq() drops it, the LPI is erased from\nlpi_xa and freed via kfree_rcu(). Meanwhile, vgic_v3_save_pending_tables()\nmay still hold a stale pointer obtained from the xarray iterator and\ndereference it after the RCU grace period completes.\n\nFix this by re-fetching each iterated LPI via vgic_get_irq(), which takes\na stable reference, and dropping it with vgic_put_irq() on all paths.\nThis matches the pattern already used by other lpi_xa iterators in the\nvgic ITS code.","modified":"2026-09-18T05:37:08Z","published":"2026-09-16T11:17:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-89913"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-89913"}],"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-101282.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
