CVE-2026-23471 is fixed in linux on 1 platform by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-23471 (version 6.19.10-1), released April 3, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-23471 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: n/a - EPSS: n/a - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Apr 3, 2026 ## Description In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm: Fix use-after-free on framebuffers and property blobs when calling drm_dev_unplug When trying to do a rather aggressive test of igt's "xe_module_load --r reload" with a full desktop environment and game running I noticed a few OOPSes when dereferencing freed pointers, related to framebuffers and property blobs after the compositor exits. Solve this by guarding the freeing in drm_file with drm_dev_enter/exit, and immediately put the references from struct drm_file objects during drm_dev_unplug().
