Overview

CVE-2026-80538 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 26, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

xfs: propagate errors from xfs_rtginode_load

xfs_rtginode_ensure() treats every xfs_rtginode_load() error other than

-ENOENT as success. This can leave the realtime group inode unset after an

I/O, allocation, or corruption error. Growfs then continues as though the

inode had been loaded.

Only -ENOENT means that the inode needs to be created. Return all other

errors to the growfs caller.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
