CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.18.52/7.2.6/7.3-rc1. It has been classified as critical. This affects the function drm_plane_create_rotation_property of the file drm/gud of the component gud. The manipulation of the argument rotation/supported_rotations with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/gud: validate GUD_ROTATION_0 is present in supported rotations The rotation argument to drm_plane_create_rotation_property() is set to DRM_MODE_ROTATE_0, and the device reported rotation bitmask is used as the supported_rotations argument. The driver never validates that GUD_ROTATION_0 is present, so a device that omits it from its GUD_PROPERTY_ROTATION triggers the WARN_ON(rotation & ~supported_rotations) in drm_plane_create_rotation_property() Fix this by skipping the creation of rotation property if the device doesn't have the GUD_ROTATION_0 bit

It is possible to read the advisory at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-98148 since 09/25/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. Technical details of the vulnerability are known, but there is no available exploit. The pricing for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 09/25/2026).

Upgrading to version 6.18.53, 7.2.7 or 7.3-rc2 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch b2cd682324b889011874cf844b7c7efa97c97296/876b33d8a9a00e9d4bbcbb7f55ad2c05974850de/cb732d027aa18e1fcf9d2797f47d20b179ebc59c is able to eliminate this problem.
