Overview

CVE-2026-93211 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 24, 2026.

Technical description

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

nfsd: initialize DRC hash table before registering shrinker

shrinker_register() precedes the INIT_LIST_HEAD loop and the

drc_hashsize store. On weakly-ordered architectures (arm64, ppc),

a shrinker scan can observe drc_hashsize before the bucket list

heads are initialized, causing a NULL deref in the DRC shrinker

callback.

Move bucket initialization and the drc_hashsize store before

shrinker_register() so the hash table is fully initialized before

it becomes visible to the shrinker.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-93211?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-93211 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.
