Overview

CVE-2026-98522 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 18, 2026.

Technical description

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

drm/imagination: Propagate map failures correctly from pvr_mmu_map_sgl()

Map failure from pvr_mmu_map_sgl() interface was not returned correctly

to pvr_mmu_map() interface. This resulted in pvr_mmu_map() interface to

continue instead of returning an error to caller.

Fix it by returning a proper error code from pvr_mmu_map_sgl() interface.
