Subject: CVE-2026-89592: accel/rocket: fix NULL dereference and integer overflow in rocket_job_push()
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 21:44:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026091130-CVE-2026-89592-d816@gregkh> (raw)
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/rocket: fix NULL dereference and integer overflow in rocket_job_push()
rocket_job_push() allocates a temporary array to hold all input and
output GEM object pointers:
bos = kvmalloc_array(job->in_bo_count + job->out_bo_count,
sizeof(void *), GFP_KERNEL);
memcpy(bos, job->in_bos, job->in_bo_count * sizeof(void *));
memcpy(&bos[job->in_bo_count], job->out_bos, ...);
Two bugs exist:
1. Missing NULL check: if kvmalloc_array() fails, bos is NULL and
the subsequent memcpy() dereferences it, causing a kernel NULL
pointer dereference.
2. Integer overflow: in_bo_count and out_bo_count are both u32, set
directly from userspace-supplied in_bo_handle_count and
out_bo_handle_count with no prior validation. Their sum is computed
in u32 arithmetic and can wrap to a smaller value, causing the
allocation count passed to kvmalloc_array() to be smaller than
intended. Subsequent uses still operate on the original counts when
copying and locking objects, which may lead to out-of-bounds accesses
on the temporary array.
Fix by using check_add_overflow() to detect count overflow before the
allocation, and adding a NULL check on the allocation result.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-89592 to this issue.

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:
