CVE-2026-80862
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme-tcp: fix usage of page_frag_cache nvme uses page_frag_cache to preallocate PDU for each preallocated request of block device.
Overview
CVE-2026-80862 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 4, 2026.
Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-tcp: fix usage of page_frag_cache
nvme uses page_frag_cache to preallocate PDU for each preallocated request
of block device. Block devices are created in parallel threads,
consequently page_frag_cache is used in not thread-safe manner.
That leads to incorrect refcounting of backstore pages and premature free.
That can be catched by !sendpage_ok inside network stack:
WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 467 at ../net/core/skbuff.c:6931 skb_splice_from_iter+0xfa/0x310.
tcp_sendmsg_locked+0x782/0xce0
tcp_sendmsg+0x27/0x40
sock_sendmsg+0x8b/0xa0
nvme_tcp_try_send_cmd_pdu+0x149/0x2a0
Then random panic may occur.
Fix that by serializing the usage of page_frag_cache.
