In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panthor: Add vm_bind region with kbo range overlap check When a VM is created, caller

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panthor: Add vm_bind region with kbo range overlap check When a VM is created, caller has to specify the range of the address space carve-out set aside for mapping kernel BO's. That means vm_bind mappings of UM-exposed BO's should not intersect with that region, but at the moment we're not checking this. At first, I thought of giving these values to drm_gpuvm_init() through its reserve_{offset, range} arguments, but it turns out that is meant for VM address spans that are not managed through the usual drm_gpuvm split/merge circuit, so storing the end of the user VA range at VM creation time and doing a quick check in the vm_bind ioctl path was the simplest workaround. The new check also makes sure vm_bind range doesn't overflow the size of a 64-bit unsigned integer. That was already being done further down the call stack inside drm_gpuvm_sm_map -> drm_gpuvm_range_valid, but it's best to fail early in the driver before GPUVM functions are invoked so that we won't waste time allocating vm_bind context resources.

What it means for a small business

Linux is on the computers, phones or browsers your team uses every day. Turn on automatic updates and restart: most of these fixes only take effect after a restart.

How likely is an attack? The Exploit Prediction Scoring System, run by FIRST (the global association of security response teams), puts the odds of this one being exploited in the next 30 days at 0.21%, higher than 11% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored October 29, 2026, updated daily.

Check your own setup

Website check: reads what your site runs from the outside (WordPress version, plugins it can see, old server software) and matches it against this database.
Server check: what your web server says about itself, and whether that version has known flaws.
