CVE-2026-89600

NameCVE-2026-89600
DescriptionIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fanotify: fix use-after-free of file range info fsnotify_pre_content() builds its file_range on the triggering task's stack. fanotify_alloc_perm_event() saves a pointer to range.pos in the heap-allocated permission event so copy_range_info_to_user() can report the offset later. The event reader can set the event state to FAN_EVENT_REPORTED and then sleep while preparing the file descriptor. If a signal interrupts the triggering task at that point, fanotify_get_response() changes the state to FAN_EVENT_CANCELED and returns. This unwinds the file_range stack frame while the reader still owns the event. The reader then dereferences pevent->ppos and copies the stale stack value to userspace. KASAN reported: BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in fanotify_read+0x293e/0x2970 Read of size 8 at addr ffff88811434fc50 by task fanotify_inotif/95 Call Trace: fanotify_read+0x293e/0x2970 vfs_read+0x177/0xa20 ksys_read+0xf7/0x1c0 do_syscall_64+0xf9/0x540 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f Store the range position directly in the permission event and use FANOTIFY_NO_RANGE when range information is unavailable. The event remains alive until the reader finishes, so the reported offset no longer depends on the triggering task's stack.
