CVE-2026-63885

Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/gem: fix race between change_handle and handle_delete drm_gem_change_handle_ioctl leaves the old handle live in the IDR during the window between spin_unlock(table_lock) and the final spin_lock(table_lock). A concurrent drm_gem_handle_delete on the old handle succeeds in this window, decrements handle_count to 0, and frees the GEM object while the new handle's IDR entry still references it. NULL the old handle's IDR entry before dropping table_lock so that any concurrent GEM_CLOSE on the old handle sees NULL and returns...
