Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-10 15:33 – Updated: 2026-08-10 15:33In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/ttm: Account for NULL and handle pages in ttm_pool_backup
Pages in ttm_pool_backup can be NULL or backup handles (ttm_backup_page_ptr_is_handle()), neither of which can be passed to set_pages_array_wb() or freed. Add a dedicated WB pass before the dma/purge loop that walks allocations using the same i += num_pages stride, skipping NULL and handle entries, and calls set_pages_array_wb() once per contiguous run of real pages. Apply the same NULL/handle guard to the dma/purge loop.
Fixes the following oops:
