CVE-2026-53201
Published: June 25, 2026· Updated: Jun 30, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "drm/xe: Skip exec queue schedule toggle if queue is idle during suspend"
This reverts commit 8533051ce92015e9cc6f75e0d52119b9d91610b6.
The idle-skip optimization bypasses GuC suspend, so the GPU may not
perform the context switch that flushes TLB entries for invalidated
userptr VMAs. In LR/preempt-fence VM mode, this can lead to missed TLB
invalidation and page faults during userptr invalidation tests.
Restore unconditional schedule toggling on suspend so the context-switch
TLB flush is always performed.
This optimization will be reintroduced with a fix that does not skip
suspend in LR/preempt-fence VM mode.
(cherry picked from commit 6a1e7934d9a6cf46aecae00a99c2603d1295e170)
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-53201 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.
