UBUNTU-CVE-2026-89584: High severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: validate user space vectors during extraction The bio-based drivers don't necessarily check the alignment split, and stacking block drivers don't always handle a misalignment detected after submitting the bio. Validate user vectors against the device's dmaalignment as the bio is built from the ioviter, rejecting misaligned early with -EINVAL.

Frequently Asked Questions
What level of access does an attacker need?
Exploitation requires local access and low privileges; no user interaction is required. The reported impact includes high confidentiality, integrity, and availability effects.
What I/O path is implicated?
The issue concerns user-space I/O vectors that are misaligned for a device's dma_alignment. Bio-based drivers that do not check alignment splits and stacking block drivers that do not handle misalignment after bio submission are relevant.
Which Ubuntu kernel packages are listed as affected?
The listed packages are ubuntu/linux-riscv, ubuntu/linux-realtime, ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-gcp, ubuntu/linux-azure-fde, ubuntu/linux-gke, and ubuntu/linux-aws-5.0.
