CVE-2026-89750

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's tracing/user_events component. This vulnerability arises when a child process, created via fork, exits and frees memory that the parent process still references. This creates a Use-After-Free (UAF) condition, where the parent process attempts to access freed memory. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to cause memory corruption, potentially leading to a denial of service or privilege escalation.
