When the\nkernel clears pages before reallocation, the clear operation stays in\nCPU cache (dirty). GPU with coh_none can bypass CPU caches and read\nstale sensitive data directly from DRAM, potentially leaking data from\npreviously freed pages of other processes.\n\nThis aligns with the existing validation in vm_bind path\n(xe_vm_bind_ioctl_validate_bo).\n\nv2(Matthew brost)\n- Add fixes\n- Move one debug print to better place\n\nv3(Matthew Auld)\n- Should be drm/xe/uapi\n- More Cc\n\nv4(Shuicheng Lin)\n- Fix kmem leak issues by the way\n\nv5\n- Remove kmem leak because it has been merged by another patch\n\nv6\n- Remove the fix which is not related to current fix\n\nv7\n- No change\n\nv8\n- Rebase\n\nv9\n- Limit the restrictions to iGPU\n\nv10\n- No change\n\n(cherry picked from commit 016ccdb674b8c899940b3944952c96a6a490d10a)","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.0},"cwes":["CWE-401","CWE-524"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4e5591c2fc1b30f4ea5e2eab4c3a695acc404e39","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/87f9b1528e1ffc1da3615d552c9a06aba5e20b00","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fea04cf6f2345bc50f15b6638906c35962b89424","https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-46309","https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2486468"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:38:48.522727527+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-46309","score":0.00125,"percentile":0.02177,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
