Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-89683

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available. - nfsd: fix dentry ref leak on V4ROOT export filehandle lookup nfsdsetfhdentry leaks the dentry reference from exportfsdecodefhraw when the NFS3FHSIZE or NFSFHSIZ...

CVE-2026-89683

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's nfsd NFS daemon. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted NFSv3 filehandle targeting a V4ROOT export's file system identifier fsid. This action triggers a dentry reference leak, which can lead to resource exhaustion a...

CVE-2026-64147

The pds_core kernel driver leaks a dentry reference (missing dput()) on every firmware reset recovery, and when CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is disabled, debugfs_lookup() returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) rather than NULL, which the existing check passes, causing a crash. Red Hat confirms this can lead to denial of se...
