CVE-2026-53050

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A race condition exists between the dquot scan active() function and quota deactivation within quota release workfn(). This occurs when dquot scan active() acquires a reference to a dquot that is simultaneously being processed for release. Under memory pressure, this can lead to a situation where the caller of dquot scan active() operates on a freed dquot, potentially causing system instability.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
