Vulnerability identifier: #VU157509
CSH Severity: Low
CVSS v4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
CVE-ID: CVE-2026-99005
CWE-ID: CWE-362
Exploitation vector: Local access
Exploit availability: No public exploit available

Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to trigger a kernel warning and taint the kernel.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the i915 driver's RPS work handling when scheduling work concurrently with asynchronous GT parking. A local user can trigger this race so that rps_work() unmasks power-management interrupts after the GT has been parked, causing hardware register access without a runtime power-management wakelock and triggering a kernel warning that taints the kernel.
