Official Description

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

drm/amdgpu: avoid double drm_exec_fini() in userq validate

When new_addition is true, amdgpu_userq_vm_validate() calls

drm_exec_fini(&exec) before iterating over the collected HMM ranges and

calling amdgpu_ttm_tt_get_user_pages().

If amdgpu_ttm_tt_get_user_pages() fails in that path, the code jumps to

unlock_all and calls drm_exec_fini(&exec) a second time on the same

exec object. drm_exec_fini() is not idempotent: it frees exec->objects

and may also drop exec->contended and finalize the ww acquire context.

Route that error path directly to the range cleanup once exec has

already been finalized.

Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool

and confirmed by code review.

(cherry picked from commit 2802952e4a07306da6ebe813ff1acacc5691851a)

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-52987 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.
