CVE-2026-31647

Technical Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

idpf: fix PREEMPT_RT raw/bh spinlock nesting for async VC handling

Switch from using the completion's raw spinlock to a local lock in the

idpf_vc_xn struct. The conversion is safe because complete/_all() are

called outside the lock and there is no reason to share the completion

lock in the current logic. This avoids invalid wait context reported by

the kernel due to the async handler taking BH spinlock:

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
