Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-93180)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-93180). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panthor: Fix NPD issue on partial unmap of an evicted BO
This commit fixes the NULL pointer dereference issue that would have
happened on the split of GPU mapping due to partial unmap of an evicted
BO. There is a logic to handle the partial unmap of huge pages when the
GPU mapping is split. That logic was not being completely skipped for
the VMA of an evicted BO and that resulted in a NPD possibility for the
'bo->backing.pages' pointer, which is set to NULL when pages of a
BO are released on eviction.
Following dump was seen when a partial unmap was exercised for an
evicted BO.
