CVE-2026-89698
Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's nfsd component. When an IPv6 NFS client is connected, the nfsd_genl_rpc_status_compose_msg() function incorrectly handles address fields, leading to an out-of-bounds read. A local unprivileged attacker can exploit this vulnerability to disclose sensitive kernel memory information, specifically 8 bytes of truncated IPv6 address and 8 bytes of kernel stack data, to userspace.

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).
Les mesures et les scores CVSS suivants sont préliminaires et sujets à révision.

Comprendre la Défaillance (CWE)
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Read Memory
An attacker could get secret values such as cryptographic keys, PII, memory addresses, or other information that could be used in additional attacks.
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Bypass Protection Mechanism
Out-of-bounds memory could contain memory addresses or other information that can be used to bypass ASLR and other protection mechanisms in order to improve the reliability of exploiting a separate weakness for code execution.
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart
An attacker could cause a segmentation fault or crash by causing memory to be read outside of the bounds of the buffer. This is especially likely when the code reads a variable amount of data and assumes that a sentinel exists to stop the read operation, such as a NUL in a string.
Other
Technical Impact: Varies by Context
The read operation could produce other undefined or unexpected results.
