Linux Kernel Vulnerability in AMDGPU Product by Linux Foundation

CVE-2026-98914

What is CVE-2026-98914?

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMDGPU driver allows for excessive nesting of commands in the ATOM command table. This issue can lead to a potential loop by exceeding the defined nesting limit of 32 levels. The kernel resolves this vulnerability by instituting a cap on command nesting depth, returning an error code (-ELOOP) if this limit is breached. This enhancement is essential for maintaining system stability and preventing resource exhaustion.
