CVE-2026-89494: Linux kernel can be forced to crash or corrupt memory
CVE-2026-89494 · published 1 month ago
Summary
A flaw in the Linux kernel's OCFS2 cluster file system lets a compromised node send specially crafted messages that can make other nodes read or write outside of allowed memory. This can cause the system to freeze or be hijacked. Update the kernel to the latest version provided by your Linux distribution to apply the fix.
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 bellsoft linux-lts to version 6.1.189-r0.
- Update linux linux to version f33041906885f96e190cde54e61ddc69de39e3ee or later.

Original advisory text
BELL-CVE-2026-89494
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: validate lengths in dlm_mig_lockres_handler A node receiving a DLM_MIG_LOCKRES message trusts several fields of the peer-supplied dlm_migratable_lockres without validation. num_locks and lockname_len are bounded only on the sending side, and the message is never checked to actually carry num_locks migratable_lock entries. As a result dlm_process_recovery_data() walks mres->ml[0..num_locks) past the kmalloc(data_len) copy of the message (an out-of-bounds read that ends in a BUG_ON panic), and dlm_init_lockres() copies lockname_len bytes into the fixed 32-byte o2dlm_lockname slab object (a heap out-of-bounds write). Both are reachable by any node in the domain. Validate these fields right after dlm_grab(), before anything uses them -- including the not-joined error path, which already prints mres->lockname with the unbounded lockname_len as a %.*s precision. Reject the message unless lockname_len <= DLM_LOCKID_NAME_MAX, num_locks <= DLM_MAX_MIGRATABLE_LOCKS (the bound the sender already asserts), and the payload is large enough to hold the claimed locks. Conforming recovery and migration messages are unaffected.
