CVE-2024-26984 is a race condition in the Linux kernel Nouveau NVIDIA graphics driver instance-memory handling. Concurrent execution of nv50_instobj_acquire() can allow one thread to observe a successfully incremented object reference count before another thread’s initialization of the associated pointer array is visible. The unordered refcount initialization can therefore expose a NULL pointer-array member to later Nouveau virtual-memory management operations, leading to a NULL-pointer dereference in the page-table memory path. The upstream correction pairs write and read memory barriers to order pointer initialization and reference-count observation.
