In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panthor: Fix NPD issue on partial unmap of an evicted BO This commit fixes the NULL pointer dereference issue that would have happened on the split of GPU mapping due to partial unmap of an evicted BO. There is a logic to handle the partial unmap of huge pages when the GPU mapping is split. That logic was not being completely skipped for the VMA of an evicted BO and that resulted in a NPD possibility for the 'bo->backing.pages' pointer, which is set to NULL when pages of a BO are released on eviction. Following dump was seen when a partial unmap was exercised for an evicted BO.

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 0.22%, higher than 12% of CVEs. That’s low, but low isn’t zero, and the odds jump the day someone publishes an exploit. Scored October 28, 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.
