CVE-2026-23264: linux kernel vulnerability

What is known

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Revert "drm/amd: Check if ASPM is enabled from PCIe subsystem" This reverts commit 7294863a6f01248d72b61d38478978d638641bee. This commit was erroneously applied again after commit 0ab5d711ec74 ("drm/amd: Refactor `amdgpu_aspm` to be evaluated per device") removed it, leading to very hard to debug crashes, when used with a system with two AMD GPUs of which only one supports ASPM. (cherry picked from commit 97a9689300eb2b393ba5efc17c8e5db835917080)

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-23264, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 5.5) affecting linux kernel, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether linux kernel is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
