Is your app affected by CVE-2026-80606?
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: 6.18
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/xe/userptr: Hold notifier_lock for write on inject test path
When CONFIG_DRM_XE_USERPTR_INVAL_INJECT=y, xe_pt_svm_userptr_pre_commit()
runs vma_check_userptr() with the svm notifier_lock taken for read. The
test injection causes vma_check_userptr() to call
xe_vma_userptr_force_invalidate(), which feeds into
xe_vma_userptr_do_inval() with drm_gpusvm_ctx.in_notifier=true. That
flag tells drm_gpusvm_unmap_pages() the caller already holds
notifier_lock for write and only asserts the mode. Because the caller
actually holds it for read, the assertion fires:
WARNING: drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gpusvm.c:1669 at \
drm_gpusvm_unmap_pages+0xd4/0x130 [drm_gpusvm_helper]

Acquire notifier_lock for write in pre-commit when the inject Kconfig
is enabled, via new helpers xe_pt_svm_userptr_notifier_lock()/_unlock().
Rename xe_svm_assert_held_read() to
xe_svm_assert_held_read_or_inject_write() so it asserts the correct
mode under each build configuration. Production builds
(CONFIG_DRM_XE_USERPTR_INVAL_INJECT=n) keep the existing read-mode
behavior bit-for-bit.
