{"schema":"threatline.record/2","record":{"id":"CVE-2026-98919","aliases":[],"summary":"drm/xe: harden adjust_idledly() against divide-by-zero and overflow","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/xe: harden adjust_idledly() against divide-by-zero and overflow\n\nadjust_idledly() has several corner-case issues flagged during review:\n\n  1. If xe_gt_clock_init() failed to recognise the crystal clock,\n     gt->info.timestamp_base is 0, which makes idledly_units_ps also 0.\n     The subsequent DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(..., idledly_units_ps) is then a\n     divide-by-zero and panics the kernel.\n\n  2. The tick-to-ns conversions are done in u32:\n        idledly * idledly_units_ps, (maxcnt - 1) * 1000\n     Both overflow u32 before DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST() sees them.\n\n  3. If IDLE_WAIT_TIME reads back as 0, maxcnt evaluates to 0 and\n     the maxcnt - 1 clamp wraps to 0xFFFFFFFF in u32.\n\n  4. The register only stores whole ticks, so the clamped ns value has\n     to be converted to ticks and back. DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST() can round\n     that conversion up past maxcnt:\n\n       maxcnt = 640 ns, one tick = 666664 ps\n\n       clamp:        maxcnt - 1        = 639 ns\n       ns -> ticks:  639000 / 666664   = 0.958 -> rounds to 1 tick\n       tick -> ns:    1 * 666664 / 1000 = 667 ns\n\n     667 ns is programmed into RING_IDLEDLY, but 667 >= maxcnt (640),\n     so xe_gt_WARN_ON() fires again on every subsequent init.\n\nReturn early if timestamp_base is 0 (the unknown-crystal path).\nDo the conversions in u64 via the *_ULL() helpers so they cannot wrap.\nClamp with a floor (DIV_ROUND_DOWN_ULL) so the programmed delay stays\nstrictly below maxcnt, and guard the maxcnt == 0 case with a zero delay\nwhile still writing RING_IDLEDLY so INHIBIT_SWITCH_UNTIL_PREEMPTED is\ncleared.\n\nv2: Drop the redundant warn on the timestamp_base == 0 path;\n    xe_gt_clock_init() already warns on an unrecognised crystal clock.\n    Keep the early return to avoid the divide-by-zero. - Vinay\n\nv3: Field-mask the RING_IDLEDLY write with REG_FIELD_PREP(IDLE_DELAY, ...)\n    instead of writing the raw tick count, which could clobber\n    INHIBIT_SWITCH_UNTIL_PREEMPTED and reserved bits. Split the\n    inhibit-switch clear from the maxcnt clamp so a set inhibit bit no\n    longer forces a needless delay overwrite when the delay itself is\n    already valid. Use gt_to_xe(gt) instead of gt_to_xe(hwe->gt).\n\n(cherry picked from commit d864065ea25e9d12897c175de9176ce46677e176)","categories":["Operating systems"],"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","ecosystem":null,"affected_ranges":[{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98919","source_modified_at":"2026-10-23T12:05:08.723Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","versions":[{"version":"d2de4410a88ffc6053300d03041cc73b8c85dbaf","lessThan":"2bcbfc5e7bfa9cc76818c54db698da5bdc13d9ff","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"d2de4410a88ffc6053300d03041cc73b8c85dbaf","lessThan":"531d4cd03118224022dc21ae25af052ce2a9e267","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"d2de4410a88ffc6053300d03041cc73b8c85dbaf","lessThan":"90f467577ebc28c5bc4ba2f0f1b83a4419fb0740","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}],"defaultStatus":"unaffected"},{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98919","source_modified_at":"2026-10-23T12:05:08.723Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","versions":[{"version":"6.15","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.15","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.55","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.9","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}],"defaultStatus":"affected"}],"fixed_versions":[{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98919","source_modified_at":"2026-10-23T12:05:08.723Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","package":{"name":"Linux","ecosystem":null},"version":"2bcbfc5e7bfa9cc76818c54db698da5bdc13d9ff","basis":"first unaffected version stated in the CVE record"},{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98919","source_modified_at":"2026-10-23T12:05:08.723Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","package":{"name":"Linux","ecosystem":null},"version":"531d4cd03118224022dc21ae25af052ce2a9e267","basis":"first unaffected version stated in the CVE record"},{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98919","source_modified_at":"2026-10-23T12:05:08.723Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","package":{"name":"Linux","ecosystem":null},"version":"90f467577ebc28c5bc4ba2f0f1b83a4419fb0740","basis":"first unaffected version stated in the CVE record"}],"cvss":null,"severity":null,"kev":{"listed":false},"epss":{"probability":null,"percentile":null,"score_date":null},"published_at":"2026-10-23T12:01:55.092Z","modified_at":"2026-10-23T12:05:08.723Z","provenance":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98919","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","source_modified_at":"2026-10-23T12:05:08.723Z"}],"sources":["CVE List"],"references":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2bcbfc5e7bfa9cc76818c54db698da5bdc13d9ff"},{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/531d4cd03118224022dc21ae25af052ce2a9e267"},{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/90f467577ebc28c5bc4ba2f0f1b83a4419fb0740"}],"locations":[],"motoko_assessment":{"status":"requires_architecture_review","automatic_remediation":false},"cve_state":"PUBLISHED","classification":{"method":"product-first software-layer rules","rules_version":"2.1","matched_on":"product","confidence":"heuristic","reviewed":false},"change_timestamp":"2026-10-23T12:05:08.723Z","content_hash":"96422e50ef1636b716c8715da3355926310b5e5e68da00caf332305d24ead683"}}
