How severe is CVE-2026-64058?

CVE-2026-64058 has a CVSS score of 7.8/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-64058?

CVE-2026-64058 affects the following packages: Kernel (Linux). Ecosystems affected: Linux.

How do I fix CVE-2026-64058?

Update Kernel to 6.18.34 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-64058 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-64058 in my Linux dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for Kernel. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-64058 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-64058?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-64058 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2026-64058 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-64058 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

Description

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

netfs: Fix netfs_read_folio() to wait on writeback

Fix netfs_read_folio() to wait for an ongoing writeback to complete so that it can trust the dirty flag and whatever is attached to folio->private (folio->private may get cleaned up by the collector before it clears the writeback flag).
