Overview

CVE-2026-90409 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 17, 2026.

Technical description

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

drm/panthor: Add vm_bind region with kbo range overlap check

When a VM is created, caller has to specify the range of the address space

carve-out set aside for mapping kernel BO's. That means vm_bind mappings of

UM-exposed BO's should not intersect with that region, but at the moment

we're not checking this.

At first, I thought of giving these values to drm_gpuvm_init() through its

reserve_{offset, range} arguments, but it turns out that is meant for VM

address spans that are not managed through the usual drm_gpuvm split/merge

circuit, so storing the end of the user VA range at VM creation time and

doing a quick check in the vm_bind ioctl path was the simplest workaround.

The new check also makes sure vm_bind range doesn't overflow the size of a

64-bit unsigned integer. That was already being done further down the call

stack inside drm_gpuvm_sm_map -> drm_gpuvm_range_valid, but it's best to

fail early in the driver

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-90409?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-90409 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.
