Linux Kernel Vulnerability in GPU Management Systems by Linux Foundation

CVE-2026-100077

What is CVE-2026-100077?

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel related to the drm/msm component has been identified, where improper handling of GPU management during the recovery process can lead to critical failures. Specifically, the issue arises when a hung GPU submission is retired before the GPU recovery is complete, potentially resulting in GPU page faults. The fix ensures that submissions are only retired after the GPU has been fully recovered, enhancing the stability and reliability of systems utilizing the Linux kernel while managing GPU resources.
