{"id":"AZL-109053","summary":"CVE-2026-98786 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/amd/display: guard dc_sink dereferences in MST mode validation\n\ndm_dp_mst_is_port_support_mode() reads\naconnector-\u003edc_sink-\u003edsc_caps... for the DSC branch-throughput check,\nand get_conv_frl_bw()'s HDMI-PCON FRL-bandwidth path reads\naconnector-\u003edc_sink-\u003eedid_caps.max_frl_rate, both without a NULL\ncheck. dc_sink is cleared asynchronously on MST unplug, and both\nfunctions run from paths that the driver's own comments document as\nracing that teardown: the connector probe worker's -\u003emode_valid\ncallback and a compositor's atomic check, neither of which holds the\nMST manager lock that the teardown path uses. The former does have an\nexisting dsc_aux NULL check, but dsc_aux isn't reliably cleared in\nevery path that clears dc_sink, so it doesn't cover this.\n\nFail the port-support check and skip the FRL conversion path when the\nsink is already gone.\n\n(cherry picked from commit 7c3db8da4e039698ae198c870712428644e965c7)","modified":"2026-10-19T14:16:50.035696687Z","published":"2026-10-18T16:17:32Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-98786"],"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-98786"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"kernel","ecosystem":"Azure Linux:3","purl":"pkg:rpm/azure-linux/kernel"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"6.6.157.1-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/microsoft/AzureLinuxVulnerabilityData/blob/main/osv/AZL-109053.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
