Low risk6th percentile - higher than 6% of all known CVEs
Summary
A flaw in the Linux kernel's drm/ttm subsystem occurs when ttm_pool_restore_and_alloc() successfully completes the restore process via ttm_pool_restore_commit(), but fails to drop tt->restore afterward. As a result, subsequent backup/restore flows incorrectly perceive the restore as complete while shmem handles remain installed in tt->pages, leading to a stack trace and potential memory corruption.
Risk Assessment
This can cause system instability, kernel panics, or memory corruption during graphics operations, particularly in environments with Intel GPUs (xe) and heavy GPU usage.
Recommendation
Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that frees and drops tt->restore upon successful restore in ttm_pool_restore_and_alloc(). If immediate update is not possible, consider limiting backup/restore operations or avoiding heavy GPU workloads until the patch is applied.
Other vulnerabilities in Linux kernel
See all- CVE-2026-99259Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the soc/tegra: pmc driver has an uninitialised early_pmc->rate variable for legacy 32-bit Tegra devices. The variable is never configured and remains 0, triggering a warning in tegra_pmc_enter_suspend_mode(). The issue appeared after the PMC driver was changed to create the PMC context dynamically, updating rate only in the new context.
- CVE-2026-99258Unknown
In the Linux kernel, hv_apicid_to_vp_index() uses per-CPU hypercall input and output pages. In an SEV-SNP CoCo VM without a paravisor the output page is not allocated, so the hypervisor stores the resulting VP index into memory not allocated by the guest. The fix uses the input page for both input and output.
- CVE-2026-99257Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the shared GPIO mechanism based on platform lookup tables requires an associated struct device. An fwnode-based lookup with no associated device currently causes a NULL-pointer dereference. The fix adds a check that lets the kernel gracefully handle this situation with an error.
- CVE-2026-99256Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the dm cache module used a rw_semaphore for background_work_lock, although write locks on rw_semaphores have strict owner semantics. The locking process was not always the same as the unlocking one, triggering a warning with CONFIG_DEBUG_RWSEMS during suspend/resume of a cache device. The fix replaces the rw_semaphore with a spinlock and a wait queue.
- CVE-2026-99251Unknown
In the Linux kernel, init_vp_index() contains a retry loop that strips CPUs from a node if they are already in the allocated cpumask or outside the HK_TYPE_MANAGED_IRQ housekeeping cpumask. If the housekeeping cpumask contains no CPU in that node, the loop becomes infinite. The fix skips NUMA nodes with no housekeeping CPU and aborts early when no online housekeeping CPUs exist.
- CVE-2026-99250Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the NBCON console printing kthreads are started very early during boot via early_initcall(). Asynchronously enabling/disabling interrupts during early boot may interfere with early SMP setup on some hardware platforms, causing hangs. The fix postpones kthread startup until after all arch initcalls have completed.
- CVE-2026-99249Unknown
In the Linux kernel, zap_pid_ns_processes() waiting for PID namespace cleanup was not freezable. A tracer outside the namespace that does not reap its traced zombies keeps PIDs allocated, making the wait unbounded and causing every suspend attempt to fail. The fix makes the wait loops use TASK_FREEZABLE states so the freezer can freeze waiting tasks.
- CVE-2026-99248Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the i2c: xiic driver was changed to restore non-managed runtime PM instead of the devres-based approach to fix a clk WARN flood. The managed release tore down runtime PM in the wrong order, causing the clock to be disabled twice and triggering "clkN already disabled" warnings on every teardown.
- CVE-2026-99247Unknown
In the Linux kernel, if trace buffer allocation fails during early boot, tracing_disabled remains set and the global trace array events list stays uninitialized. tracer_init_tracefs_work_func() runs asynchronously without checking this state and calls event_trace_init() and init_tracer_tracefs(), leading to a NULL pointer dereference Oops during boot. The fix checks tracing_disabled at the start of the work function.
- CVE-2026-99215Unknown
In the Linux kernel power supply subsystem, a use-after-free vulnerability exists. If a power supply is unregistered while its external_power_changed() callback is still running, the driver may free data that the callback is still accessing, leading to a kernel crash (NULL pointer dereference).
Original NVD description (English source)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/ttm: Drop tt->restore after successful restore ttm_pool_restore_and_alloc() can successfully complete the restore process via ttm_pool_restore_commit(), but tt->restore is not dropped afterward. As a result, subsequent backup/restore flows observe what appears to be a completed restore, while in reality shmem handles are still installed in tt->pages, leading to the stack trace below. Fix this by freeing and dropping tt->restore in ttm_pool_restore_and_alloc() upon successful completion of the restore. 20545 [ 309.784531] RIP: 0010:sg_alloc_append_table_from_pages+0x38c/0x490 20547 [ 309.809570] RSP: 0018:ffffc9000623b838 EFLAGS: 00010206 20548 [ 309.814827] RAX: 0000000000001000 RBX: ffff88816e42a160 RCX: 0000000000000000 20549 [ 309.821986] RDX: 0000000000002000 RSI: 0000000000000003 RDI: 0000000000001000 20550 [ 309.829147] RBP: ffff88816e42a168 R08: 0000000000000002 R09: 000000007ffff000 20551 [ 309.836310] R10: ffffc9000623b928 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 000000007ffff000 20552 [ 309.843471] R13: ffff88815ba5a100 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000001 20553 [ 309.850634] FS: 00007f9ff305e700(0000) GS:ffff888276c94000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 20554 [ 309.858749] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 20555 [ 309.864519] CR2: 00007f9fca701000 CR3: 00000001565e2005 CR4: 0000000008f70ef0 20556 [ 309.871678] PKRU: 55555558 20557 [ 309.874403] Call Trace: 20558 [ 309.876866] <TASK> 20559 [ 309.878988] sg_alloc_table_from_pages_segment+0x60/0x100 20560 [ 309.884415] ? ttm_resource_manager_usage+0x36/0x60 [ttm] 20561 [ 309.889845] ? xe_tt_map_sg+0x7d/0xd0 [xe] 20562 [ 309.894045] xe_tt_map_sg+0x7d/0xd0 [xe] 20563 [ 309.898037] xe_bo_move+0x927/0xaa0 [xe] 20564 [ 309.902029] ttm_bo_handle_move_mem+0xba/0x170 [ttm] 20565 [ 309.907022] ttm_bo_validate+0xbe/0x190 [ttm] 20566 [ 309.911405] xe_bo_validate+0x9a/0x120 [xe] 20567 [ 309.915663] xe_gpuvm_validate+0xd9/0x140 [xe] 20568 [ 309.920206] drm_gpuvm_validate+0x2f0/0x5b0 [drm_gpuvm] 20569 [ 309.925459] ? drm_exec_lock_obj+0x63/0x210 [drm_exec] 20570 [ 309.930627] xe_vm_validate_rebind+0x46/0xb0 [xe] 20571 [ 309.935428] xe_exec_fn+0x20/0x40 [xe] 20572 [ 309.939249] drm_gpuvm_exec_lock+0x78/0xc0 [drm_gpuvm] 20573 [ 309.944410] xe_validation_exec_lock+0x5a/0xa0 [xe] 20574 [ 309.949385] xe_exec_ioctl+0x806/0xc30 [xe] 20575 [ 309.953639] ? ttwu_queue_wakelist+0xd9/0xf0 20576 [ 309.957935] ? __pfx_xe_exec_fn+0x10/0x10 [xe] 20577 [ 309.962449] ? __wake_up_common+0x73/0xa0 20578 [ 309.966482] ? __pfx_xe_exec_ioctl+0x10/0x10 [xe] 20579 [ 309.971263] drm_ioctl_kernel+0xa3/0x100 20580 [ 309.975209] drm_ioctl+0x213/0x440 20581 [ 309.978637] ? __pfx_xe_exec_ioctl+0x10/0x10 [xe] 20582 [ 309.983415] xe_drm_ioctl+0x67/0xd0 [xe] 20583 [ 309.987408] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x7f/0xd0
