Overview

CVE-2026-80915 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 9, 2026.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/xe: Fix DPT allocation paths.

Remove the fallback for VRAM to system memory, I tested it and that

doesn't work at all, only a black screen with pipe fault errors were

observed.

On systems with media GT, extra latency is added when accessing stolen

memory when the GT is in MC6. Since we additionally aren't counting how

much memory is used for stolen and we could in theory fill up the

entire stolen area with DPT's, avoid using stolen and only use the

default memory region.

Using stolen may also result in random system hangs under load.

(cherry picked from commit a196406a3831291598fe8e73245914f7acffdfe0)

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-80915?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-80915 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
