--- title: "CVE-2026-97478\n | Ubuntu" description: Ubuntu is an open source software operating system that runs from the desktop, to the cloud, to all your internet connected things. url: https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-97478?format=md keywords: index, follow --- # CVE-2026-97478 Publication date 24 September 2026 Last updated 24 September 2026 --- Ubuntu priority **Medium** [Why this priority?](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#priority ) Toggle side navigation ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virt: acrn: Fix irqfd use-after-free during eventfd shutdown acrn\_irqfd\_deassign() and the eventfd EPOLLHUP wakeup can race and free the same struct hsm\_irqfd: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- eventfd\_release() wake\_up\_poll(EPOLLHUP) hsm\_irqfd\_wakeup() queue\_work(&irqfd->shutdown) acrn\_irqfd\_deassign() hsm\_irqfd\_shutdown() list\_del\_init() eventfd\_ctx\_remove\_wait\_queue() eventfd\_ctx\_put() kfree(irqfd) hsm\_irqfd\_shutdown\_work() container\_of(work, ..., shutdown) irqfd->vm <-- use-after-free The deassign path freed the irqfd while a shutdown work item was already queued by EPOLLHUP (or vice versa), so the work item could resurrect a dangling pointer through container\_of(). Switch to the lifetime model used by KVM irqfds: - Deassign/deinit only deactivate the irqfd: remove it from vm->irqfds under irqfds\_lock and queue the cleanup work. - hsm\_irqfd\_shutdown\_work() becomes the sole owner that unhooks the eventfd waitqueue entry, drops the eventfd reference and frees the irqfd. - A new HSM\_IRQFD\_FLAG\_SHUTDOWN bit guarded by test\_and\_set\_bit() ensures the cleanup work is queued at most once, no matter how many of {EPOLLHUP, deassign, deinit} fire concurrently. This is safe to call from the waitqueue callback, which runs with wqh->lock held and IRQs disabled and therefore cannot take irqfds\_lock. - acrn\_irqfd\_deassign() flushes vm->irqfd\_wq before returning so the eventfd is fully detached on return. acrn\_irqfd\_deinit() deactivates every irqfd, flushes the workqueue and only then destroys it, so no path can queue\_work() onto a torn-down workqueue. - acrn\_irqfd\_assign() now installs the eventfd waitqueue entry and publishes the irqfd to vm->irqfds under irqfds\_lock, so the irqfd is never visible to deassign/deinit before its waitqueue entry is in place, and any EPOLLHUP that fires in the assign window queues cleanup work that blocks on irqfds\_lock until publication is done. ## Status Show unmaintained releases | Package
