CVE-2026-31453

About vulnerability

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: avoid dereferencing log items after push callbacks After xfsaild_push_item() calls iop_push(), the log item may have been freed if the AIL lock was dropped during the push. Background inode reclaim or the dquot shrinker can free the log item while the AIL lock is not held, and the tracepoints in the switch statement dereference the log item after iop_push() returns. Fix this by capturing the log item type, flags, and LSN before calling xfsaild_push_item(), and introducing a new xfs_ail_push_class trace event class that takes these pre-captured values and the ailp pointer instead of the log item pointer. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s XFS filesystem. This vulnerability arises when log items are accessed after their memory has been freed, specifically during certain push callbacks if the Allocation Information List (AIL) lock is released. This memory corruption can lead to a system crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
