CVE-2026-63885

LinuxVulnerabilityCVSS 8.8

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 -EINVAL. Restore the old entry on the prime-bookkeeping error path.

No public exploitation has been reported so far. No distribution fix is listed yet; apply vendor mitigations and monitor.

Recommended action: Track your distribution's security tracker and apply the fix as soon as it ships.

Affected & fixed versions by distribution

Versions are the native distribution strings (backport-aware): RHEL/Debian/SUSE backport fixes, so compare with the distro version comparator (dpkg / rpm / vercmp), not the upstream version.

No affected package in the tracked watchlist yet (Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, SUSE, Red Hat...). Triage may still be pending.
