{"cve":"CVE-2026-98919","nvd":{"published":"2026-10-23T13:17:12.487","modified":"2026-10-23T13:17:12.487","status":"Received","description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/xe: harden adjust_idledly() against divide-by-zero and overflow\n\nadjust_idledly() has several corner-case issues flagged during review:\n\n  1. If xe_gt_clock_init() failed to recognise the crystal clock,\n     gt->info.timestamp_base is 0, which makes idledly_units_ps also 0.\n     The subsequent DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(..., idledly_units_ps) is then a\n     divide-by-zero and panics the kernel.\n\n  2. The tick-to-ns conversions are done in u32:\n        idledly * idledly_units_ps, (maxcnt - 1) * 1000\n     Both overflow u32 before DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST() sees them.\n\n  3. If IDLE_WAIT_TIME reads back as 0, maxcnt evaluates to 0 and\n     the maxcnt - 1 clamp wraps to 0xFFFFFFFF in u32.\n\n  4. The register only stores whole ticks, so the clamped ns value has\n     to be converted to ticks and back. DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST() can round\n     that conversion up past maxcnt:\n\n       maxcnt = 640 ns, one tick = 666664 ps\n\n       clamp:        maxcnt - 1        = 639 ns\n       ns -> ticks:  639000 / 666664   = 0.958 -> rounds to 1 tick\n       tick -> ns:    1 * 666664 / 1000 = 667 ns\n\n     667 ns is programmed into RING_IDLEDLY, but 667 >= maxcnt (640),\n     so xe_gt_WARN_ON() fires again on every subsequent init.\n\nReturn early if timestamp_base is 0 (the unknown-crystal path).\nDo the conversions in u64 via the *_ULL() helpers so they cannot wrap.\nClamp with a floor (DIV_ROUND_DOWN_ULL) so the programmed delay stays\nstrictly below maxcnt, and guard the maxcnt == 0 case with a zero delay\nwhile still writing RING_IDLEDLY so INHIBIT_SWITCH_UNTIL_PREEMPTED is\ncleared.\n\nv2: Drop the redundant warn on the timestamp_base == 0 path;\n    xe_gt_clock_init() already warns on an unrecognised crystal clock.\n    Keep the early return to avoid the divide-by-zero. - Vinay\n\nv3: Field-mask the RING_IDLEDLY write with REG_FIELD_PREP(IDLE_DELAY, ...)\n    instead of writing the raw tick count, which could clobber\n    INHIBIT_SWITCH_UNTIL_PREEMPTED and reserved bits. Split the\n    inhibit-switch clear from the maxcnt clamp so a set inhibit bit no\n    longer forces a needless delay overwrite when the delay itself is\n    already valid. Use gt_to_xe(gt) instead of gt_to_xe(hwe->gt).\n\n(cherry picked from commit d864065ea25e9d12897c175de9176ce46677e176)","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":null,"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2bcbfc5e7bfa9cc76818c54db698da5bdc13d9ff","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/531d4cd03118224022dc21ae25af052ce2a9e267","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/90f467577ebc28c5bc4ba2f0f1b83a4419fb0740"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-23T16:39:28.036610720+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-98919","score":0.00174,"percentile":0.06806,"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).
