CVE-2026-98313 — drm/msm/dp: skip PUSH_IDLE when the link was never enabled

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm/dp: skip PUSH_IDLE when the link was never enabled msm_dp_display_atomic_enable() returns early when link training fails, leaving ->power_on false and the main link down. msm_dp_display_atomic_disable() nevertheless writes DP_STATE_CTRL_PUSH_IDLE and waits for an idle-pattern completion that cannot arrive, so every failed enable is followed by "PUSH_IDLE pattern timedout". Every other step of the teardown is already gated on that flag: msm_dp_display_disable(), called from .atomic_post_disable(), returns early on !power_on. The PUSH_IDLE write is the only one that is not, so the controller's runtime-PM reference is then dropped without the link having been taken down. On glymur (Snapdragon X2 Elite) the consequence is not a warning. The SoC does not survive it: TrustZone force-stops the SOCCP and ADSP remote processors and the machine resets silently about 50 ms later, with no oops and no panic. On an ASUS Zenbook A16 (UX3607OA), whose eDP panel does not currently train, this reproduces without any compositor or GPU involvement: # eDP enable has already failed with "Failed link training (rc=-104)" echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank [535.645455] === marker === [535.694833] qcom_q6v5_pas d00000.remoteproc: fatal error received: \ sys_m_smsm.c:512:TZ force stop [535.694875] remoteproc remoteproc0: crash detected in soccp: type fatal error [535.728857] qcom_q6v5_pas 6800000.remoteproc: fatal error received: \ sys_m_smsm.c:783:err fatal notification received from TZ <SoC reset> Gate the PUSH_IDLE write on ->power_on so the disable path is consistent with the rest of the teardown. With this applied the same sequence is harmless and the machine stays up; without it, it resets every time. The unconditional write dates back to the original DP driver (c943b4948b58 ("drm/msm/dp: add displayPort driver support")), but the surrounding code has been restructured several times since, so no Fixes: tag is offered. Note that the eDP link-training failure that exposes this on the A16 is a separate problem in the glymur eDP PHY and is reported separately; this change is about not damaging the machine when training fails, for whatever reason. Tested on ASUS Zenbook A16 (UX3607OA), Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme, on linux-next next-20260803 and next-20260807. The machine has since been running next-20260807 with this patch as its daily driver. Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/745167/

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
  2. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-98313 is "drm/msm/dp: skip PUSH_IDLE when the link was never enabled", rated Unknown. It affects Linux (Linux); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. EPSS 0.17% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
