Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-52950)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in the drm/xe dma-buf import handling in xe_gem_prime_import() when processing a dma-buf attachment with the retry loop. A local user can trigger an error path that frees the backing object and then causes it to be reused to cause a denial of service.
