{"cve":"CVE-2026-53325","nvd":{"published":"2026-06-29T06:16:33.167","modified":"2026-10-15T02:20:09.060","status":"Modified","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nagp/amd64: Fix broken error propagation in agp_amd64_probe()\n\nA NULL pointer dereference was observed in the AMD64 AGP driver when\nrunning in a virtualized environment (e.g. qemu/kvm) without a physical\nAMD northbridge. The crash occurs in amd64_fetch_size() when attempting\nto dereference the pointer returned by node_to_amd_nb(0).\n\nThe root cause of this crash is broken error propagation in\nagp_amd64_probe(): When no AMD northbridges are found, cache_nbs()\ncorrectly returns -ENODEV. However, the probe function erroneously\nchecks the return value against exactly -1, rather than < 0.\n\nAs a result, the hardware absence error is masked, allowing the driver\nto improperly proceed with initialization. It eventually calls\nagp_add_bridge(), which invokes amd64_fetch_size(). Since the hardware\ndoes not exist, node_to_amd_nb(0) returns NULL, leading to a General\nProtection Fault (GPF) when accessing its ->misc member.\n\nFix the issue by correcting the error check in agp_amd64_probe() to\nabort properly when cache_nbs() returns any negative error code. This\nprevents the driver from erroneously proceeding without hardware, thereby\navoiding the subsequent NULL pointer dereference at its source.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-476"],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0aa9b27c454c53074cde592eaceb442d30341585","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1d7d45050e14083c1de1460c93f4063c1f0bca7b","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3e844a63668d1c3d10a9d347d7ebf161b2f91c84","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/53483a9f4ee9eeb18aa866ec16cce79e136987e1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/564b3b3f6565313eb6fa5355ffd037d6fb27897f"],"products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:41:17.107060303+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-53325","score":0.0013,"percentile":0.02585,"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).
