About this tag
The intel i915 tag covers Linux kernel vulnerabilities and reliability fixes in Intel's integrated graphics driver, which is also relevant to Windows users running Linux in virtual machines, WSL, Azure, or dual-boot setups. Recent threads discuss CVEs such as CVE-2026-31767 (divide-by-zero in DSI display path), CVE-2026-31540 (NULL pointer dereference on suspend), CVE-2022-48893 (partial engine cleanup), and CVE-2023-52913 (use-after-free in context registration). These flaws typically cause crashes, resource leaks, or instability rather than remote code execution, but they highlight how display driver bugs can become security and reliability incidents in mixed-OS environments. The tag is useful for IT professionals and developers managing Intel graphics across platforms.

    CVE-2022-48893: Intel i915 Partial Engine Cleanup Fix in Linux Kernel

    The Linux kernel fix tracked as CVE-2022-48893 addresses a long-standing robustness gap in the Intel i915 DRM driver: when driver initialization aborts partway through GT/engine discovery, some engine structures could remain only partially initialized, leaving their cleanup hooks unset...

    Intel i915 CVE-2023-52913 UAF: Patch, Mitigations, and Ops Guide

    The Linux kernel’s graphics stack received a surgical but important fix addressing a potential use‑after‑free (UAF) in the Intel i915 driver: gem_context_register() could make a newly created context visible to userspace before the kernel had finished using the context pointer, opening a race...
