## Overview

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

drm/sched: Fix bounds limiting when given a malformed entity

If we're given a malformed entity in drm_sched_entity_init()--shouldn't
happen, but we verify--with out-of-bounds priority value, we set it to an
allowed value. Fix the expression which sets this limit.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.7.2`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.7.2`

## Vendor advisories

- **Red Hat VEX** · Low · affected: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 · no fix planned: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 · updated 2026-09-25 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2023/cve-2023-52461.json)
