NewCVE-2026-89822 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:12 linux-6.12 to version 6.12.111-1~deb12u1 or higher.
NVD Description

See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915: Guard against NULL driver_data in i915_pci_probe()
pci_match_device() can return the dummy pci_device_id_any entry when a device is force-bound via sysfs driver_override, in which case ->driver_data is unset (NULL). i915_pci_probe() casts it to struct intel_device_info * unconditionally and dereferences intel_info->require_force_probe, causing a NULL-ptr-deref.
(cherry picked from commit 2727922084672cc274ecea726ea00363c2893731)
