Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-04-03 15:30 – Updated: 2026-04-24 15:32

Details

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

drm/xe/configfs: Free ctx_restore_mid_bb in release

ctx_restore_mid_bb memory is allocated in wa_bb_store(), but xe_config_device_release() only frees ctx_restore_post_bb.

Free ctx_restore_mid_bb[0].cs as well to avoid leaking the allocation when the configfs device is removed.

(cherry picked from commit a235e7d0098337c3f2d1e8f3610c719a589e115f)

Severity

5.5 (Medium)

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
