CVE-2026-89448: Linux kernel could disable device isolation with tboot
CVE-2026-89448 · published 1 month ago
Summary
When the tboot secure‑boot helper is used, the Linux kernel could leave a setting that separates devices (called ACS) turned off, letting one device see data from another. This misconfiguration could expose sensitive information if a device is compromised. Updating to the latest kernel version resolves the issue.
What to do
- Update debian linux to version 7.2.6-1.
- Update linux kernel to version 7.2.4.
- Update bellsoft linux-lts to version 6.18.53-r0.
- Update debian linux to version 6.12.111-1.
- Update bellsoft linux-lts to version 6.12.111-r0.
- Update debian linux-6.12 to version 6.12.111-1~deb12u1.
- Update linux linux to version aaeb81241e802c86be69394f72d49fde3f861fbb or later.

Original advisory text
iommu/vt-d: Force requesting ACS when tboot is enabled
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Force requesting ACS when tboot is enabled
Currently the conditions of requesting ACS in detect_intel_iommu()
don't include tboot, leading to a possible misconfiguration with ACS
disabled (e.g. due to user opts) while iommu is later forced on by
tboot_force_iommu().
Fix it by checking tboot in detect_intel_iommu().
