Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-98319)

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

CVSSv4: 2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to deplete kernel memory.

The vulnerability exists due to a memory leak caused by incomplete error-path cleanup in prepare_signaling() in the DRM subsystem when handling a request that provides an out_fence_ptr without DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_EVENT and encounters an allocation failure or a failure in setup_out_fence(). A local user can trigger an error path that leaves a drm_pending_vblank_event unreleased to deplete kernel memory.
