CVE-2026-89567

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's jbd2 shrinker. This component, which manages journal buffers, does not correctly account for busy checkpoint buffers. This oversight can cause the shrinker to hold a critical system lock for an extended period when processing many busy buffers. The prolonged...

CVE-2026-89566

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's jbd2 component. When the kernel's journaling block device jbd2 processes busy checkpoint buffers, it can skip a crucial rescheduling check. This oversight can lead to prolonged holding of a critical lock, causing other central processing units CPUs to wait...
