CVE-2026-98515

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

drm/nouveau: fix double-free in nvif_vmm_dtor

On failure, nouveau_cli_init() calls nouveau_cli_fini() to tear
the client down. Then, nouveau_drm_open() also enters into its
cleanup path and calls nouveau_cli_fini() AGAIN. nouveau_cli_fini()
calls nouveau_vmm_fini():

	void
	nouveau_vmm_fini(struct nouveau_vmm *vmm)
	{
		nouveau_svmm_fini(&vmm->svmm);
		nvif_vmm_dtor(&vmm->vmm);
		vmm->cli = NULL;
	}

Inside nvif_vmm_dtor(), vmm->page is freed unconditionally:

	void
	nvif_vmm_dtor(struct nvif_vmm *vmm)
	{
		kfree(vmm->page);
		nvif_object_dtor(&vmm->object);
	}

vmm->page is never cleared after being freed, so the second call of
nvif_vmm_dtor() will cause a double-free.

Found by fuzzing the nouveau driver with a modified Syzkaller:
