Vulnerability in Linux

CVE-2026-89745

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: debugfs: Fix lockdown check for mmap_prepare Commit 651fdda8406d ("relay: update relay to use mmap_prepare") changed the `mmap` file operation to `mmap_prepare` for relayfs, but the lockdown check in debugfs was not updated accordingly. This prevents debugfs from being locked down when the kernel is in integrity mode if a file uses `mmap_prepare` but not `mmap`. Since the conversion to `mmap_prepare` across the kernel is not yet complete, update the lockdown check to look for both `mmap` and `mmap_prepare` to ensure comprehensive coverage.
