# CVE-2026-89672: linux: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: gate nfs2 setacl by argp->mask The NFSACL... CVE-2026-89672 is fixed in 17 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-89672, released September 23, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Urgent. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-89672 - Priority: Urgent - CVSS: 9.1 (critical) - EPSS: 0.0060 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Sep 11, 2026 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: gate nfs2 setacl by argp->mask The NFSACL v2 SETACL path shares the decoder convention used by its v3 sibling: nfsaclsvc_decode_setaclargs() fills in argp->acl_access only when NFS_ACL is set in the request mask and argp->acl_default only when NFS_DFACL is set, leaving the other pointer NULL because the argument buffer is zeroed up to pc_argzero before decode. nfsacld_proc_setacl() then hands both pointers to set_posix_acl() unconditionally. set_posix_acl(idmap, dentry, type, NULL) is the VFS "remove this ACL type" operation, so an omitted arm is indistinguishable from an explicit request to delete that ACL. A SETACL carrying only NFS_ACL silently strips the directory's default ACL; mask=0 strips both. This is the same defect just fixed in nfsd3_proc_setacl(); apply the same remedy. Gate each set_posix_acl() call on its mask bit and initialize error to 0 so that a request with neither bit set leaves the on-disk ACLs untouched and returns success. The out_drop_lock path and the unconditional posix_acl_release() in nfsaclsvc_release_setacl() already tolerate the skipped arms. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released |
