CVE-2026-46040

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's inotify subsystem. When the fsnotifyaddinodemarklocked function fails during the creation of a new watch, the system does not properly decrement the watch count. This oversight can lead to a watch count leak, where repeated failures exhaust the maximum user...

kernel: inotify: Avoid reporting event with invalid wd

A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's inotify subsystem. When inotifyfreeingmark races with inotifyhandleinodeevent, the event handler may read imark-wd after it has been reset to -1. This causes an invalid watch descriptor value of -1 to be reported to userspace applications,...
