# CVE-2026-90149: linux: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSv4/flexfiles: fix NULL dereference for NFSv4.... CVE-2026-90149 is fixed in 35 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-90149, released September 23, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-90149 - Priority: High - CVSS: 7.5 (high) - EPSS: 0.0067 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Sep 17, 2026 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSv4/flexfiles: fix NULL dereference for NFSv4.0 data servers flexfiles accepts NFSv4.0 data servers, but two NFSv4 code paths assume the data server client has a session. Unlike NFSv4.1+, an NFSv4.0 client has no session (clp->cl_session is NULL; it uses clp->cl_slot_tbl), so I/O to a v4.0 flexfiles DS oopses: - nfs4_init_ds_session() dereferences clp->cl_session->session_state while seeding the DS lease. It also only seeds cl_lease_time when NFS4_SESSION_INITING is set; without a session that never happens, so cl_lease_time stays 0 and nfs4_renew_state() busy-loops, requeuing every 5 seconds. Seed the lease whenever there is no session and return before touching session state. - ff_layout_async_handle_error_v4() dereferences clp->cl_session->fc_slot_table on every DS I/O error. Fall back to the v4.0 transport slot table (clp->cl_slot_tbl) when there is no session. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux |
