Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-43381

Published: May 9, 2026


Vulnerability identifier: #VU130799
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 6.8 [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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-43381
CWE-ID: CWE-754
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of runtime-suspended devices in nouveau dpcd aux transfer handling when accessing /dev/drm_dp_* while the device is asleep. A local user can access the drm dp device interface while the device is runtime suspended to cause a denial of service.

The issue is triggered when the GPU device is in a runtime suspended state.
