CVE-2026-93106

EUVD-2026-82214
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crash_dump: release keyring reference at the correct time

restore_dm_crypt_keys_to_thread_keyring() gets a reference to the user
keyring before restoring the saved dm-crypt keys.

The same keyring reference is then passed to add_key_to_keyring() for each
saved key, but add_key_to_keyring() drops that reference on every call.
This is only balanced when exactly one key is restored. With multiple
keys, the keyring reference is dropped too many times and may trigger a
refcount underflow or use-after-free.

When more than five keys are restored, a refcount underflow/use-after-free
warning can be triggered.

The early error paths after lookup_user_key() also return without dropping
the keyring reference.

Keep ownership of the keyring reference in
restore_dm_crypt_keys_to_thread_keyring(), drop it once on all exit paths,
and make add_key_to_keyring() only use the reference without consuming it.
