      <title>CVE-2026-98609 — drm/virtio: fix object leak when drm_gem_handle_create() fails</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-98609</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;drm/virtio: fix object leak when drm_gem_handle_create() fails&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;virtio_gpu_gem_create() owns the reference taken by
virtio_gpu_object_create(). On the drm_gem_handle_create() error path it
calls drm_gem_object_release() instead of dropping that reference.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;drm_gem_object_release() is the inverse of drm_gem_object_init() and does
not touch the reference count or call obj-&amp;gt;funcs-&amp;gt;free(), so it is only
correct as the last step of a destructor, as in
virtio_gpu_cleanup_object(). Using it here leaves the bo at refcount 1
with no remaining reference, so virtio_gpu_free_object() never runs and
the shmem pages, sg table and virtio_gpu_object are leaked. Since
virtio_gpu_object_create() has already set bo-&amp;gt;created,
VIRTIO_GPU_CMD_RESOURCE_UNREF is not queued either, leaking the host-side
resource and the resource id.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;drm_gem_handle_create_tail() drops the handle reference on all of its
internal error paths, so the caller only has to drop its own. Use
drm_gem_object_put(), matching the success path below.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
