Subject: CVE-2026-52966: drm: Replace old pointer to new idr
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 17:29:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026062438-CVE-2026-52966-2a66@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: Replace old pointer to new idr
Commit 5e28b7b94408 introduced a logical error by failing to replace the
newly generated IDR pointer to old id's pointer at the correct location
within the "change handle" logic; this resulted in the issue reported by
syzbot [1].
Specifically, the new IDR object pointer is intended to replace the original
id's pointer during the normal execution flow.
Additionally, an unnecessary conditional check for the ret exit path has
been removed.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
