It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-52976 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. 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.\n2. 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.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-52976/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-52976/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-52976","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-52976/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-52976","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-52976","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-52976","GHSA-c52j-4pg6-8f2f","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-52976"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Xe GPU driver allows local attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges due to improper error handling.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[{"product":"linux_kernel","vendor":"linux"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"},{"id":"CWE-825","name":"Expired Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/xe: Fix error cleanup in xe_exec_queue_create_ioctl()\n\nTwo error handling issues exist in xe_exec_queue_create_ioctl():\n\n1. When xe_hw_engine_group_add_exec_queue() fails, the error path jumps\n   to put_exec_queue which skips xe_exec_queue_kill(). If the VM is in\n   preempt fence mode, xe_vm_add_compute_exec_queue() has already added\n   the queue to the VM's compute exec queue list. Skipping the kill\n   leaves the queue on that list, leading to a dangling pointer after\n   the queue is freed.\n\n2. When xa_alloc() fails after xe_hw_engine_group_add_exec_queue() has\n   succeeded, the error path does not call\n   xe_hw_engine_group_del_exec_queue() to remove the queue from the hw\n   engine group list. The queue is then freed while still linked into\n   the hw engine group, causing a use-after-free.\n\nFix both by:\n- Changing the xe_hw_engine_group_add_exec_queue() failure path to jump\n  to kill_exec_queue so that xe_exec_queue_kill() properly removes the\n  queue from the VM's compute list.\n- Adding a del_hw_engine_group label before kill_exec_queue for the\n  xa_alloc() failure path, which removes the queue from the hw engine\n  group before proceeding with the rest of the cleanup.\n\n(cherry picked from commit 37c831f401746a45d510b312b0ed7a77b1e06ec8)","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"drm/xe: Fix error cleanup in xe_exec_queue_create_ioctl()","id":"CVE-2026-52976","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"linux:linux_kernel","products":["linux:linux_kernel"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"futex: Prevent lockup in requeue-PI during signal/ timeout wakeup","id":"CVE-2026-52977"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"bonding: 3ad: implement proper RCU rules for port-\u003eaggregator","id":"CVE-2026-52975"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-06-24","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2026-53266","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2026-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2013-6282","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-11-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2022-0185","kev_date_added":"2024-08-21","published":"2022-02-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2013-2094","kev_date_added":"2022-09-15","published":"2013-05-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Unspecified","id":"CVE-2026-53362","kev_date_added":"2026-08-27","published":"2026-07-04"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Missing Initialization of a Variable","id":"CVE-2026-46300","kev_date_added":"2026-10-28","published":"2026-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-39964","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-10-13"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's Xe GPU driver allows local attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges due to improper error handling.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-52976/"}
