CVE-2026-89994
HIGH
Published Sep 16, 2026
Modified Sep 16, 2026
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: fsl-edma: tracing: no ptr dereference during log output The fsl edma events store a pointer to a struct fsl_edma_engine in the ringbuffer and dereference it when a log entry is printed. At this time, the pointer may no longer be valid. Event injection can be used to trigger a crash: $ cd /sys/kernel/tracing $ echo 'value = 0' > events/fsl_edma/edma_writeb/inject $ cat trace The log output needs only edma->membase. Add a membase field at the end of the event and use the new field for log output. Keep the existing fields for backward compatibility.

The fsl edma events store a pointer to a struct fsl_edma_engine in the
ringbuffer and dereference it when a log entry is printed. At this time,
the pointer may no longer be valid.
Event injection can be used to trigger a crash:
$ cd /sys/kernel/tracing
$ echo 'value = 0' > events/fsl_edma/edma_writeb/inject
$ cat trace
The log output needs only edma->membase. Add a membase field at the end
of the event and use the new field for log output. Keep the existing
fields for backward compatibility. It has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).
