CVE-2026-68240

drm/gpusvm: publish dpagemap early to avoid device mapping leak on error

Published Aug 10, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 8.8 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/gpusvm: publish dpagemap early to avoid device mapping leak on error

drm_gpusvm_get_pages() only stored the local dpagemap into
svm_pages->dpagemap on the success path. If a later page failed (e.g.
-EOPNOTSUPP when ctx->allow_mixed is false) and jumped to err_unmap,
svm_pages->dpagemap was still NULL, so __drm_gpusvm_unmap_pages() skipped
device_unmap() and leaked the device mappings already created.

Assign svm_pages->dpagemap when the first device page is mapped so the
err_unmap path can device_unmap() those mappings.
