A patch is available and has been released in several Linux kernel versions including 5.4.0-1128.138~18.04.1 and later. Users should update their Linux kernel to a fixed version to remediate this issue. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond applying the official fix.
Description
CVE-2024-26937 is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drm/i915 graphics driver where the queue_priority_hint is not reset properly during engine parking. This can cause a race condition leading to a kernel BUG and potential denial of service (system crash). The issue arises from a preempt-to-busy race triggered by heartbeat events, causing assertion failures and engine parking errors.
