CVE-2026-31436: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: idxd: fix possible wrong descriptor comp

Published Apr 22, 2026

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

dmaengine: idxd: fix possible wrong descriptor completion in llist_abort_desc()

At the end of this function, d is the traversal cursor of flist, but the code completes found instead. This can lead to issues such as NULL pointer dereferences, double completion, or descriptor leaks.

Fix this by completing d instead of found in the final list_for_each_entry_safe() loop.
