When xe_hw_engine_group_add_exec_queue() fails, the error path jumps\n   to put_exec_queue which skips xe_exec_queue_kill(). If the VM is in\n   preempt fence mode, xe_vm_add_compute_exec_queue() has already added\n   the queue to the VM's compute exec queue list. Skipping the kill\n   leaves the queue on that list, leading to a dangling pointer after\n   the queue is freed.\n\n2. When xa_alloc() fails after xe_hw_engine_group_add_exec_queue() has\n   succeeded, the error path does not call\n   xe_hw_engine_group_del_exec_queue() to remove the queue from the hw\n   engine group list. The queue is then freed while still linked into\n   the hw engine group, causing a use-after-free.\n\nFix both by:\n- Changing the xe_hw_engine_group_add_exec_queue() failure path to jump\n  to kill_exec_queue so that xe_exec_queue_kill() properly removes the\n  queue from the VM's compute list.\n- Adding a del_hw_engine_group label before kill_exec_queue for the\n  xa_alloc() failure path, which removes the queue from the hw engine\n  group before proceeding with the rest of the cleanup.\n\n(cherry picked from commit 37c831f401746a45d510b312b0ed7a77b1e06ec8)","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-416","CWE-825"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1be55646d8a2035343b012dcb12210db7bb8b056","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/753b149d5a433eb19e0c1b0eb4526a6e26120d1f","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f3cc22d4df3ed58439ea7e21daa54c3608e03b78","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f93b00161213a0fe9f7ff1d8498ee5ca9e0a5c43","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:42919"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-21T03:43:09.190223697+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-52976","score":0.00184,"percentile":0.0791,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
