Overview

CVE-2026-89745 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 11, 2026.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

debugfs: Fix lockdown check for mmap_prepare

Commit 651fdda8406d ("relay: update relay to use mmap_prepare")

changed the `mmap` file operation to `mmap_prepare` for relayfs, but

the lockdown check in debugfs was not updated accordingly.

This prevents debugfs from being locked down when the kernel is in

integrity mode if a file uses `mmap_prepare` but not `mmap`.

Since the conversion to `mmap_prepare` across the kernel is not yet

complete, update the lockdown check to look for both `mmap` and

`mmap_prepare` to ensure comprehensive coverage.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-89745?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-89745 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
