Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2026-23350)

Summary

Vulnerability in Kernel (CVE-2026-23350). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Mitigation: upgrade to 6.19.7 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/xe/queue: Call fini on exec queue creation fail

Every call to queue init should have a corresponding fini call.
Skipping this would mean skipping removal of the queue from GuC list
(which is part of guc_id allocation). A damaged queue stored in
exec_queue_lookup list would lead to invalid memory reference,
sooner or later.

Call fini to free guc_id. This must be done before any internal
LRCs are freed.

Since the finalization with this extra call became very similar to
__xe_exec_queue_fini(), reuse that. To make this reuse possible,
alter xe_lrc_put() so it can survive NULL parameters, like other
similar functions.

v2: Reuse _xe_exec_queue_fini(). Make xe_lrc_put() aware of NULLs.

(cherry picked from commit 393e5fea6f7d7054abc2c3d97a4cfe8306cd6079)

📍 Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Kernel.

🔥 Severity

Severity: ?. Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 6.19.7.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Run grep -r 'Kernel' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

1
Identify exposure identify
```
grep -r 'Kernel' . | grep -v node_modules
```
リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で Kernel を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。
2
Apply patch patch
```
Upgrade Kernel to 6.19.7
```
ステージング環境で 6.19.7 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。
3
Post-deployment verification verify
```
Confirm patched version is live in production
```
パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
