CVE-2026-64517
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/gsc: Fix double-free of managed BO in error path The error path in xe_gsc_init_post_hwconfig() explicitly frees a BO allocated with xe_managed_bo_create_pin_map() via xe_bo_unpin_map_no_vm(). Since the managed BO already has a devm cleanup action registered, this causes a double-free when devm unwinds during probe failure. Remove the explicit free and let devm handle it, consistent with all other xe_managed_bo_create_pin_map() callers. (cherry picked from commit 71d61e3e299a17139e47f980a4d6f425b2c59bf7)
Executive briefing
The source record describes: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/gsc: Fix double-free of managed BO in error path The error path in xe_gsc_init_post_hwconfig() explicitly frees a BO allocated with xe_managed_bo_create_pin_map() via xe_bo_unpin_map_no_vm(). Since the managed BO already has a devm cleanup action registered, this causes a double-free when devm unwinds during probe failure. Remove the explicit free and let devm handle it, consistent with all other xe_managed_bo_create_pin_map() callers. (cherry picked from commit 71d61e3e299a17139e47f980a4d6f425b2c59bf7) The practical risk depends on whether an affected product/version is present, reachable and configured in an exploitable way. Review the affected-product evidence and linked vendor advisories before assigning exposure status.

No CVSS vector is currently available in the source record.
Technical explanation & impact
The technical mechanism is not expanded beyond the source description unless a referenced advisory supplies additional evidence. Read the linked vendor/CERT advisories for root-cause detail.
Potential impact must be interpreted from the published CVSS impact metrics and the affected component. A CVSS impact score is not proof that a particular asset is exploitable.
Affected products and versions
NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.
Remediation & validation
- Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
- Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
- Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
- Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.
No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
