CVE-2026-89802

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/nouveau/uvmm: fix NULL deref unwinding an OP_MAP_SPARSE op Each bind_job_op is zeroed by kzalloc_obj() in bind_job_op_from_uop(), and the OP_MAP_SPARSE case in nouveau_uvmm_bind_job_submit() only creates a region, so op->ops stays NULL for a successfully processed sparse map. If a later op in the same job fails, the reverse unwind loop revisits that op and calls drm_gpuva_ops_free(&uvmm->base, op->ops) unconditionally. drm_gpuva_ops_free() dereferences its argument right away (list_for_each_entry_safe on &ops->list), so a NULL op->ops oopses. The path is reachable by any render-node fd holder, since NOUVEAU_VM_BIND is DRM_RENDER_ALLOW. Guard the free with IS_ERR_OR_NULL(), as nouveau_uvmm_bind_job_cleanup() already does for the identical free.

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

  1. Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
