Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98270)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98270). 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/amdgpu: check ras and obj before dereference
nbio_v7_9_handle_ras_controller_intr_no_bifring() dereferences ras and obj
without checking either for NULL. Both amdgpu_ras_get_context() and
amdgpu_ras_find_obj() can return NULL, e.g. during the window between
adev->nbio.ras being set (early in amdgpu_ras_init(), by design, to
enable the fatal-error interrupt as soon as possible) and the PCIE_BIF
ras object actually being created in RAS late_init. Any interrupt in that
window crashes in hard-IRQ context.
This is analogous to commit d190b459b2a4 ("drm/amdgpu: the warning
dereferencing obj for nbio_v7_4"), which fixed the same issue in the
nbio_v7_4 handler.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
(cherry picked from commit c7071767a50a32ed727cf800ac84372429e3b4b3)

CVE-2026-98270 (Linux kernel)
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
A vulnerability (unclassified) exists in Linux kernel.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of Linux kernel.
Severity: ?. Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Update to the patched release per vendor advisory.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual request patterns matching this CVE's known IOCs. Audit SBOM/dependencies to find affected services.
