CVE-2026-31547: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe: Fix missing runtime PM reference in ccs_mode_store ccs_mode_store() calls xe_gt_reset() which internally invokes xe_pm_runtime_get_noresume(). That function requires the caller to already hold an outer runtime PM reference and warns if none is held: [46.891177] xe 0000:03:00.0: [drm] Missing outer runtime PM protection [46.891178] WARNING: drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_pm.c:885 at xe_pm_runtime_get_noresume+0x8b/0xc0 Fix this by protecting xe_gt_reset() with the scope-based guard(xe_pm_runtime)(xe), which is the preferred form when the reference lifetime matches a single scope. v2: - Use scope-based guard(xe_pm_runtime)(xe) (Shuicheng) - Update commit message accordingly (cherry picked from commit 7937ea733f79b3f25e802a0c8360bf7423856f36)
The exploitability of CVE-2026-31547 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).
CVE-2026-31547 presents an accessible attack vector with minimal effort required. Restricting access controls and implementing security updates are critical to reducing exploitation risks.
A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.
Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.
Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-31547, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2026-31547, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
