CVE-2026-89639 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.1/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cifs: use cifs_invalidate_cache() in cifs_do_truncate() for O_TRUNC cifs_do_truncate() is invoked from cifs_open() without i_rwsem, so it cannot use cifs_resize_file_locked() to perform a proper fscache cookie resize. Instead, add cifs_invalidate_cache() after cifs_setsize(). cifs_invalidate_cache() calls fscache_invalidate(), which works without holding i_rwsem: it unconditionally increments inval_counter and sets FSCACHE_COOKIE_NO_DATA_TO_READ, ensuring that stale cached data is not served once the cookie is later activated by fscache_use_cookie(). Truncation to zero leaves no valid cached data, making invalidation the correct semantic here.. EPSS estimates a 0.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
