CVE-2024-26937

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel versions prior to 6.8.0-rc2-CI DRM 14193-gc655e0fd2804+

Description The vulnerability is related to the drm/i915/gt component of the Linux kernel. It is caused by a preempt-to-busy race condition that can be triggered by the heartbeat, which acts as a power-management barrier. This can lead to a situation where the queue priority hint remains set, preventing direct submission until after the next CS interrupt is processed, causing the kernel to fail an assertion.

Recommendations To resolve this issue, update the Linux kernel to a version that includes the fix for the drm/i915/gt: Reset queue priority hint on parking vulnerability. Specifically, update to a version newer than 6.8.0-rc2-CI DRM 14193-gc655e0fd2804+.

Note: The provided information does not specify the exact fixed version, but it is implied that any version after the mentioned version should include the fix.
