{"cve":"CVE-2026-98166","nvd":{"published":"2026-10-06T09:17:58.033","modified":"2026-10-26T16:17:23.973","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/ttm: fix swapped-out resources never leaving their bulk_move range\n\nttm_tt_swapout() returns the number of pages swapped out on success and\na negative error code on failure; for a populated ttm it never returns\nzero. Commit b2ed01e7ad3d (\"drm/ttm: Fix ttm_bo_swapout() infinite LRU\nwalk on swapout failure\") moved the bulk_move bookkeeping in\nttm_bo_swapout_cb() under \"if (!ret)\", so the\nttm_resource_del_bulk_move_unevictable() / ttm_resource_move_to_lru_tail()\npair is now skipped on every successful swapout. The equivalent change\nfor the shrinker in commit 1d59f36e95f7 (\"drm/ttm: Fix ttm_bo_shrink()\ninfinite LRU walk on backup failure\") tests \"lret > 0\", which is what\nwas intended here as well.\n\nBefore b2ed01e7ad3d the resource was taken off the bulk_move before the\nswapout; since then a swapped-out resource stays inside its BO's\nbulk_move range (and on the manager LRU) although it is unevictable.\nWhen it is later freed or the BO leaves the bulk_move\n(ttm_resource_free(), ttm_bo_set_bulk_move() via amdgpu_vm_bo_del()),\nttm_resource_del_bulk_move() skips it because of its\n!ttm_resource_unevictable() guard, so a range endpoint in pos->first /\npos->last is left pointing at freed memory. The next\nttm_lru_bulk_move_tail() or ttm_resource_add_bulk_move() on that cursor\nis a use-after-free, seen as the resv WARN in ttm_lru_bulk_move_add(),\n\"list_del corruption\" in ttm_resource_move_to_lru_tail() or a NULL\ndereference in ttm_resource_manager_next() -- minutes to hours after a\nhibernation, or at process exit / reboot following one. Samuel\nAinsworth's analysis of drm/amd issue 5387 (see Link) identified the\ndangling cursor; the missing removal at swapout time is the reason it\ndangles.\n\nTesting the condition for success restores the removal. On an AMD\nPhoenix APU (ASUS UM3406GA, gfx1103) running suspend-then-hibernate on\na 7.0.y stable kernel carrying the backport (Ubuntu 7.0.0-31) the bug\ncrashed 5 of 18 hibernation cycles; a function profile of one\nhibernation showed 336 ttm_tt_swapout() calls and zero\nttm_resource_del_bulk_move_unevictable() calls. With this change the\nremoval happens for every swapped-out resource and 12 further cycles\nwere clean.","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":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1169fe8c11ca45e3f91d59a73eb271d0ca8a7fb0","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3db7d7d583419f7b1f2e141e36418802dbb25cf8","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b48ebe399b4e72baa323462580fdd83ebda561e1"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-26T16:18:43.172042668+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-98166","score":0.00154,"percentile":0.0447,"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).
