On any system where restore_mqd is\nnot implemented for the given queue type, a user holding\nCAP_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE can trigger a kernel NULL pointer dereference\nand panic the machine by issuing KFD_IOC_CRIU_OP_RESTORE with a\ncrafted queue restore object. Note that checkpoint_mqd is likewise\nunimplemented on GFX12, so no legitimate CRIU image can reach this\npath — only a hand-crafted restore payload.\n\nAdd a NULL guard for restore_mqd immediately after mqd_mgr is\nresolved, unwinding via the existing error labels and returning\n-EOPNOTSUPP if the callback is not implemented. This mirrors the\nexisting checkpoint_mqd guard in checkpoint_mqd().","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/19c73848493ab58e39649700da6de11710a36de1","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6aa530642f95d5c48aa336416f94a35e7949b647","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c643c229babe2e8efc5eefe60e19d44868a643ff","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ebffa44e7a21ead59ac4b4264e8fc2cbb44c4a21"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:54:41.405518556+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-89807","score":0.002,"percentile":0.09711,"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).
