CVE-2026-98509

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

drm/virtio: fix memory leak of fence event on execbuffer failure

virtio_gpu_execbuffer_ioctl() reserves a DRM event with
drm_event_reserve_init() when VIRTGPU_EXECBUF_RING_IDX selects a ring that
userspace has enabled polling for. virtio_gpu_init_submit() does this
before the BO handles, the command buffer, the syncobj arrays and the
in-fence are processed, so every later error path runs with the event
already pending, including plain argument validation failures such as an
invalid bo_handle or an in-syncobj that carries no fence.

On those paths, virtio_gpu_cleanup_submit() drops the out-fence without
cancelling the event. The fence is freed without ever having been emitted,
taking the only driver-side pointer to the event with it. Closing the DRM
file does not help. drm_events_release() unlinks pending events but
deliberately leaves the freeing to the driver's later drm_send_event(),
which never runs for an orphaned event, so the allocation is leaked
permanently.

Found when fuzzing the virtio driver with Syzkaller:

Fix by cancelling and freeing the DRM event on the execbuffer error path
before dropping the fence. Clear the fence's event pointer after
cancellation so it does not retain a dangling pointer.
