CVE-2026-31462: linux kernel vulnerability

What is known

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: prevent immediate PASID reuse case PASID resue could cause interrupt issue when process immediately runs into hw state left by previous process exited with the same PASID, it's possible that page faults are still pending in the IH ring buffer when the process exits and frees up its PASID. To prevent the case, it uses idr cyclic allocator same as kernel pid's. (cherry picked from commit 8f1de51f49be692de137c8525106e0fce2d1912d)

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-31462, 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.
