Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/gpusvm: Reject VMAs with VM_IO or VM_PFNMAP when creating SVM ranges
VMAs marked with VM_IO or VM_PFNMAP are not backed by struct page
objects, which GPUSVM requires in order to operate correctly. In
particular, get_pages() relies on hmm_range_fault() to resolve struct
pages for the target range.
Attempting to create an SVM range on such VMAs results in repeated
get_pages() failures and can lead to an infinite loop inside a driver’s
page‑fault handler. Prevent this by rejecting ranges on VM_IO or
VM_PFNMAP VMAs and returning -EIO.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-74420?
CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-74420 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
