Overview

CVE-2026-98270 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 6, 2026.

Technical description

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

drm/amdgpu: check ras and obj before dereference

nbio_v7_9_handle_ras_controller_intr_no_bifring() dereferences ras and obj

without checking either for NULL. Both amdgpu_ras_get_context() and

amdgpu_ras_find_obj() can return NULL, e.g. during the window between

adev->nbio.ras being set (early in amdgpu_ras_init(), by design, to

enable the fatal-error interrupt as soon as possible) and the PCIE_BIF

ras object actually being created in RAS late_init. Any interrupt in that

window crashes in hard-IRQ context.

This is analogous to commit d190b459b2a4 ("drm/amdgpu: the warning

dereferencing obj for nbio_v7_4"), which fixed the same issue in the

nbio_v7_4 handler.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

(cherry picked from commit c7071767a50a32ed727cf800ac84372429e3b4b3)

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-98270?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-98270 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.
