Azure Linux kernel 6.6.157.1-1 may mishandle GPU error handling
published 1 month ago
Summary
The Linux kernel version used in Azure can incorrectly release a GPU error interrupt, which could cause the system to freeze or crash when the graphics hardware reports an error. Updating to the latest kernel package fixes the release logic and prevents the crash. Apply the released kernel update as soon as possible.
What to do
The CVE record does not list a fixed version. Check the vendor's site or the advisory links below - a fix may already be released.

Original advisory text
CVE-2026-97424 affecting package kernel 6.6.157.1-1
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu/ras: add ras_suspend callback and use it for cp_ecc_error_irq
cp_ecc_error_irq is acquired in amdgpu_gfx_ras_late_init() but
released in gfx_v9_0_hw_fini(), so the put site has to query
amdgpu_irq_enabled() because the get is skipped on SR-IOV VF.
ras_late_init / ras_fini have no suspend counterpart, so move the
put to amdgpu_gfx_ras_suspend() / amdgpu_gfx_ras_fini() and add a
matching ras_suspend callback that is invoked from
amdgpu_ras_suspend() before disable_all_features(). The get and
put now sit in the same place and check the same condition (not
VF, funcs registered), no refcount querying needed.
An active flag gates ras_fini so the
suspend-then-unload-without-resume path falls into
amdgpu_ras_block_late_fini_default() instead of double-releasing
what ras_suspend already cleaned up.
Drop the cp_ecc_error_irq put from gfx_v9_0_hw_fini(). gfx_v8_0
manages cp_ecc_error_irq locally and is unaffected; no other GFX
generation has this IRQ.
