Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98522)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98522). 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/imagination: Propagate map failures correctly from pvr_mmu_map_sgl()
Map failure from pvr_mmu_map_sgl() interface was not returned correctly
to pvr_mmu_map() interface. This resulted in pvr_mmu_map() interface to
continue instead of returning an error to caller.
Fix it by returning a proper error code from pvr_mmu_map_sgl() interface.
