CVE-2026-98512
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau: RCU-free the scheduler-containing nouveau_sched
struct nouveau_sched embeds a struct drm_gpu_scheduler (base).
nouveau_sched_destroy() calls nouveau_sched_fini() (which does
drm_sched_fini(&sched->base)) and then frees the object with plain
kfree(sched).
drm_sched_fence_get_timeline_name() returns fence->sched->name, and the
scheduler fence keeps a .release callback so it is not ops-detached on
signalling. A finished fence exported to userspace via drm_syncobj /
sync_file therefore keeps pointing at &sched->base after nouveau_sched_destroy(),
and a later get_timeline_name() -- reachable unprivileged through
SYNC_IOC_FILE_INFO -- dereferences freed memory (KASAN slab-use-after-free
read).
Per the dma-fence lifetime contract the exporter must keep the data backing a
signalled fence alive for an RCU grace period. Free the scheduler-containing
object with kfree_rcu() instead of kfree().
