accel/rocket: fix NULL dereference and integer overflow in rocket_job_push()
Published 2026-09-11 (37 days ago) by the Linux kernel CNA. Subsystem drivers/accel. Debian urgency: unimportant.
What to do, per Debian release
Debian's own status for CVE-2026-89592 in every release this site tracks, and what each one means in practice. Every status below is the one the Debian Security Team publishes for this CVE. source
| Release | Status | Version | What this means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Debian 12bookworm | not affected | 6.1.190-1 | Nothing to do. bookworm never shipped the vulnerable code. |
| Debian 13trixie | not affected | 6.12.113-1 | Nothing to do. trixie never shipped the vulnerable code. |
| Debian 14forky | fixed | 7.2.6-1 | Update the kernel and reboot. Fixed in 7.2.6-1. A running kernel keeps the old code until the machine restarts. |
| Debian unstablesid | fixed | 7.2.6-1 | Update the kernel and reboot. Fixed in 7.2.6-1. A running kernel keeps the old code until the machine restarts. |
The vulnerability
What the bug is
rocket_job_push() allocates a temporary array to hold all input and output GEM object pointers: bos = kvmalloc_array(job->in_bo_count + job->out_bo_count, sizeof(void *), GFP_KERNEL); memcpy(bos, job->in_bos, job->in_bo_count * sizeof(void *)); memcpy(&bos[job->in_bo_count], job->out_bos, ...); Two bugs exist: 1. Missing NULL check: if kvmalloc_array() fails, bos is NULL and the subsequent memcpy() dereferences it, causing a kernel NULL pointer dereference. 2. Integer overflow: in_bo_count and out_bo_count are both u32, set directly from userspace-supplied in_bo_handle_count and out_bo_handle_count with no prior validation. Their sum is computed in u32 arithmetic and can wrap to a smaller value, causing the allocation count passed to kvmalloc_array() to be smaller than intended. Subsequent uses still operate on the original counts when copying and locking objects, which may lead to out-of-bounds accesses on the temporary array. Fix by using check_add_overflow() to detect count overflow before the allocation, and adding a NULL check on the allocation result.
Where it lives
The fix touches these files. If the subsystem is one you do not use, the practical exposure is lower, though the package is still the vulnerable one.

Show whether Debian builds this, per release
Debian does not build this code in 2 releases. The build rule could not be established for 2 releases, so nothing is claimed about those.
- bookworm, trixie?
- forky, sidn
- ?
- not established - no Makefile entry for the affected file
- n
- not enabled on any flavour - this release does not build the code
Where a release above reads "not established", no build rule for the affected file was found in that release's kernel tree. That is a gap in this lookup, not a finding that the code is absent.
- Build switches
- CONFIG_DRM_ACCEL, CONFIG_DRM_ACCEL_ROCKET

- all on means the file is compiled; any one off means it is not.
From the configuration Debian publishes for every kernel flavour it builds. It covers only the architectures Debian ships a linux-config package for, and nothing about a kernel you built yourself.

Why the CNA scored it this way
The kernel CNA published no CVSS vector and no reasoning for CVE-2026-89592, which is why it is shown as unrated rather than given an invented score. 6,405 of the 20,413 CVEs here carry reasoning; this is not one of them.
