# CVE-2026-46312: media: videobuf2: Set vma_flags in vb2_dma_sg_mmap

- **Severity:** Medium 5.5 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H`)
- **Exploited in the wild:** Not known
- **Login needed:** Any signed-in user
- **Attackable:** Local or same network only
- **Victim action needed:** Not needed
- **Fix available:** Yes
- **Published:** 8 Jun 2026
- **Updated:** 14 Jun 2026
- **Also known as:** AZL-89619, BELL-CVE-2026-46312, DEBIAN-CVE-2026-46312, GHSA-fc4p-mq27-m6p2, ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-11-CVE-2026-46312, ROOT-OS-DEBIAN-12-CVE-2026-46312, UBUNTU-CVE-2026-46312

## What is CVE-2026-46312?

CVE-2026-46312 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 8 Jun 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

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

media: videobuf2: Set vma_flags in vb2_dma_sg_mmap

vb2_dma_contig sets VMA flags VM_DONTEXPAND and VM_DONTDUMP and I do not
see a reason why vb2_dma_sg should behave differently. This avoids
hitting `WARN_ON(!(vma->vm_flags & VM_DONTEXPAND));` in
drm_gem_mmap_obj() during mmap() of an imported dma-buf from the out of
tree Apple ISP camera capture driver which uses vb2_dma_sg_memops.

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2026-46312 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-46312 is a medium-severity denial of service vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 8 Jun 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-46312 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
