Per CNA driver-removal UAF precedent, concurrent rmmod of trusted.ko does not require the attacker to hold CAP_SYS_MODULE.\nUI:N - Exploitation is driven by the attacker's own add_key threads and module-unload timing; no separate victim must mount a filesystem, open a device, or take any other action.\nS:U - The vulnerability is a standard in-kernel slab use-after-free affecting host kernel memory and availability; it does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other distinct security-authority boundary.\nC:H - KASAN shows a slab-use-after-free read of the freed digests array in tpm_pcr_extend, and put_device may free tpm_chip while callbacks still dereference it; per kernel CNA guidance a UAF enables object reuse and arbitrary kernel read, so Confidentiality is High.\nI:H - Seal/unseal after teardown calls tpm_try_get_ops() which mutates chip (get_device, mutex_lock) and PCR extend consumes the UAF'd digest buffer; use-after-free is heap-sprayable into write and control-flow primitives, so Integrity is High.\nA:H - The KASAN report is a kernel slab-use-after-free oops during add_key versus delete_module; any such UAF can panic or hang the kernel, scoring Availability High even when not fully exploited for code execution." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "security/keys/trusted-keys/trusted_tpm1.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "0b6cf6b97b7ef1fa3c7fefab0cac897a1c4a3400", "lessThan": "81dfc6c665547a4e41721b6716f894f263a5e03f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "0b6cf6b97b7ef1fa3c7fefab0cac897a1c4a3400", "lessThan": "3d67b4acbfc7af331d887a8efc04bef6573b8a7a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "0b6cf6b97b7ef1fa3c7fefab0cac897a1c4a3400", "lessThan": "753c978f2400f9783eb524842a975d3ac950d511", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "0b6cf6b97b7ef1fa3c7fefab0cac897a1c4a3400", "lessThan": "2f7541afbc57fe9d26769a22c31d8ce8790c9a19", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "0b6cf6b97b7ef1fa3c7fefab0cac897a1c4a3400", "lessThan": "5e2d672280d97d83de43031d93761b12dadd7b8a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "security/keys/trusted-keys/trusted_tpm1.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.1", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.1", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.160", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.111", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.50", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.1", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.160" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.1", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.111" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.1", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.50" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.1", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.4" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.1", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/81dfc6c665547a4e41721b6716f894f263a5e03f" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3d67b4acbfc7af331d887a8efc04bef6573b8a7a" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/753c978f2400f9783eb524842a975d3ac950d511" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2f7541afbc57fe9d26769a22c31d8ce8790c9a19" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5e2d672280d97d83de43031d93761b12dadd7b8a" } ], "title": "KEYS: trusted: Fix TPM teardown ordering", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2026-89763", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "total" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2026-10-16T19:26:34.436196Z" } } } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2026-10-16T19:36:59.769Z" } } ] } }
