CVE-2026-23250
개요
A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's XFS filesystem scrub code. The xchk_scrub_create_subord() function returns a mangled ENOMEM error code instead of NULL on memory allocation failure. Callers do not properly check for null pointers before using the returned value, leading to NULL pointer dereferences when memory allocation fails during scrub operations.
내용
This flaw affects XFS filesystems using the online scrub functionality (xfs_scrub). The issue exists in code merged between kernel versions 6.2 and 6.10. Triggering this vulnerability requires invoking XFS scrub operations while the system is under memory pressure, causing allocation failures. The scrub functionality requires privileged access to execute.

Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
