Is your app affected by CVE-2026-72452?
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Cursor or any AI coding tool: it runs a free Shippable scan of your project and fixes what it finds. Built with Lovable, Bolt or v0? Scan your live app. Or upload your package file.
Who is affected
- Linux Linux: 7.0
How to check
- Find out whether you run the affected product and which version, then compare it with the versions above.
How to fix
Copies a prompt for Claude Code, Cursor or Codex that asks it to check whether you run this product.
- Apply the vendor's update or mitigation from the references below. If there is none yet, limit exposure of the affected service until there is.
- If a vulnerable version was live, check your logs and rotate the secrets that server could read.
The advisory
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915: clear CRTC color blob pointers after dropping refs
intel_crtc_put_color_blobs() drops the CRTC color blob references, but
leaves the corresponding pointers unchanged.
This can matter in intel_crtc_prepare_cleared_state(), which frees the
old CRTC hw state before calling intel_dp_tunnel_atomic_clear_stream_bw().
The latter can fail while looking up the DP tunnel group state, for
example with -EDEADLK.
If that happens, the function returns without completing the cleared
state preparation. The failed atomic state will then be cleared by the
atomic core and intel_crtc_free_hw_state() can be called again for the
same state, dropping the same blob references again.
Clear the blob pointers after dropping the references so repeated cleanup
of the same CRTC hw state is safe.
