Official Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/xe/pf: Fix use-after-free in migration restore

When an error is returned from xe_sriov_pf_migration_restore_produce(),

the data pointer is not set to NULL, which can trigger use-after-free

in subsequent .write() calls.

Set the pointer to NULL upon error to fix the problem.

(cherry picked from commit 4f53d8c6d23527d734fe3531d08e15cb170a0819)

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-31490 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.8.
