drm/xe/i2c: Disable IRQ on unbind

Published Oct 6, 2026 · corrected/updated Oct 15, 2026 · evidence confidence medium

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/i2c: Disable IRQ on unbind Currently, struct xe_i2c is freed before SGUnit IRQ is disabled in unbind path, leaving a potential UAF in case I2C IRQ is hit during this small window. Explicitly disable I2C IRQ in xe_i2c_remove() and fix this. (cherry picked from commit 8ba5c8b8ab3fd362267c11df2cd5a90ee46f6e24)

Grounded briefings

Catalog interpretations for three audiences. Each brief cites ingested metadata and the original advisories below. They are not independent research and they do not invent exploit steps.

Executive

CVE-2026-98280 is a unknown public vulnerability record for this product. It is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited catalog. Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. This summary is a catalog interpretation of the ingested metadata and cites the original advisories below.

System administrator

Identify whether this product is in your estate, then compare installed versions with the affected ranges. Affected packages or ranges on record: Kernel (6.19.0 → 7.2.8). Check the linked vendor or CERT advisories for patch status. Prefer the vendor or distribution advisory linked in Sources before changing production systems. This is a catalog interpretation, not a runbook.
