--- title: "CVE-2026-97992\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-2026-97992?format=md keywords: index, follow --- # CVE-2026-97992 Publication date 25 September 2026 Last updated 25 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: vhost-vdpa: protect config\_ctx from being freed under the config callback vhost\_vdpa\_config\_cb() loads v->config\_ctx and signals it without taking a reference and without holding any lock: struct eventfd\_ctx \*config\_ctx = v->config\_ctx; if (config\_ctx) eventfd\_signal(config\_ctx); VHOST\_VDPA\_SET\_CONFIG\_CALL replaces that field and drops what is normally the last reference to the old context: swap(ctx, v->config\_ctx); if (ctx) eventfd\_ctx\_put(ctx); eventfd\_ctx\_put() drops the last kref and frees the context immediately, with no RCU grace period, so a callback that has already loaded the pointer goes on to dereference freed memory. The two sides share no lock: the ioctl runs under vhost\_dev.mutex, while the parent invokes the callback from its own interrupt or workqueue context. This is not the reopen refcount underflow fixed by commit f6bbf0010ba0 ("vhost-vdpa: fix use-after-free of v->config\_ctx"), which was about vhost\_vdpa\_config\_put() leaving a stale pointer behind. Here the pointer is maintained correctly and it is the read side that is unprotected. With VDUSE as the parent this is reachable from userspace with access to /dev/vduse (root by default). VDUSE\_DEV\_INJECT\_CONFIG\_IRQ queues dev->inject, and vduse\_dev\_irq\_inject() runs the callback under VDUSE's own dev->irq\_lock, which vhost does not hold. vduse\_dev\_reset() does flush\_work(&dev->inject), but VHOST\_VDPA\_SET\_CONFIG\_CALL never goes through reset, so an inject already in flight is not waited for. A process that injects config interrupts on the VDUSE fd while another thread swaps the call fd on the vhost-vdpa fd hits it in seconds: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in native\_queued\_spin\_lock\_slowpath Read of size 4 at addr ffff888107d21808 by task kworker/u17:1/2993 Workqueue: vduse-irq vduse\_dev\_irq\_inject Call Trace: native\_queued\_spin\_lock\_slowpath+0x97/0x5b0 \_raw\_spin\_lock\_irqsave+0xd4/0xe0 eventfd\_signal\_mask+0x69/0x120 vhost\_vdpa\_config\_cb+0x34/0x50 vduse\_dev\_irq\_inject+0x46/0x60 process\_one\_work+0x468/0x950 Allocated by task 2992: do\_eventfd+0x50/0x200 \_\_x64\_sys\_eventfd2+0x2e/0x40 Freed by task 2992: eventfd\_ctx\_put+0xb9/0xc0 vhost\_vdpa\_unlocked\_ioctl+0x116c/0x2190 Add a spinlock covering every access to config\_ctx, so the callback either signals a context that is still alive or observes NULL, and the put happens only once no callback can reach the old value. Clearing the parent's callback before the put would not be enough: of the in-tree set\_config\_cb() implementations only VDUSE takes a lock, the rest store the pointer unlocked, so that would not order against an in-flight invocation. ## Status Show unmaintained releases | Package | Ubuntu Release | Status | | --- | --- | --- | | linux | 26.04 LTS resolute | Needs evaluation | | 24.04 LTS
