CVE-2026-46201
Published: May 28, 2026· Updated: May 30, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: Fix dma-buf attachment leak in xe_gem_prime_import()
When xe_dma_buf_init_obj() fails, the attachment from
dma_buf_dynamic_attach() is not detached. Add dma_buf_detach() before
returning the error. Note: we cannot use goto out_err here because
xe_dma_buf_init_obj() already frees bo on failure, and out_err would
double-free it.
(cherry picked from commit a828eb185aac41800df8eae4b60501ccc0dbbe51)
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-46201 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.
