CVE-2026-46216

About vulnerability

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

drm/xe/hdcp: Add NULL check for media_gt in intel_hdcp_gsc_check_status()

When media GT is disabled via configfs, there is no allocation for media_gt, which is kept as NULL. In such scenario, intel_hdcp_gsc_check_status() results in a kernel pagefault error due to &gt->uc.gsc being evaluated as an invalid memory address.

Fix that by introducing a NULL check on media_gt and bailing out early if so.

While at it, also drop the NULL check for gsc, since it can’t be NULL if media_gt is not NULL.

v2:

• Get address for gsc only after checking that gt is not NULL. (Shuicheng)
• Drop the NULL check for gsc. (Shuicheng) v3:
• Add “Fixes” and “Cc: <stable…>” tags. (Matt)
