{"id":"AZL-101379","summary":"CVE-2026-89835 affecting package kernel 6.6.150.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nf2fs: avoid NULL checkpoint thread access in sysfs\n\ncheckpoint_merge can be enabled even when no checkpoint merge thread is\nrunning. A read-only mount is one case: f2fs does not start\nf2fs_issue_ckpt there, but ckpt_thread_ioprio is still writable through\nsysfs.\n\nThe ckpt_thread_ioprio store path updates the saved ioprio value and,\nwhen checkpoint_merge is enabled, calls set_task_ioprio() for the\ncheckpoint thread. If cprc-\u003ef2fs_issue_ckpt is NULL, that dereferences a\nNULL task pointer.\n\nProtect ckpt_thread_ioprio sysfs writes with s_umount as well, so the\ncheckpoint thread cannot disappear under the store path while updating\nits ioprio.","modified":"2026-09-18T05:37:08Z","published":"2026-09-16T11:16:50Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-89835"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-89835"}],"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-101379.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
