DescriptionCVE.org

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

accel/amdxdna: Fix iommu domain lifetime race during device removal

When force_iova mode is enabled, amdxdna_remove() frees xdna->domain. If amdxdna_gem_obj_free() is called after device removal, it may attempt to access xdna->domain, resulting in a use-after-free.

Fix the race by adding freeing xdna->domain as a managed release action, so its lifetime is managed by DRM and remains valid until all managed resources are released.

AnalysisAI

Use-after-free race condition in the Linux kernel's amdxdna AMD AI accelerator driver allows a local low-privileged user to trigger kernel memory corruption by racing device removal against GEM object deallocation, potentially achieving full kernel privilege escalation. The flaw is specific to deployments where force_iova mode is enabled in the amdxdna driver, limiting the real-world exposure to systems with AMD XDna-capable hardware. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Force_iova mode must be explicitly enabled in the amdxdna driver - this is a non-default configuration, and systems without it set are not vulnerable to this specific race path. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.8 score (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) merits scrutiny on the AC dimension: race conditions between device removal and asynchronous GEM object callbacks are inherently timing-sensitive, and reliable exploitation typically requires repeated attempts or an adversary-controlled environment - the AC:L rating likely overstates exploitability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade to Linux kernel 7.1.5 or 7.2, both confirmed by EUVD-2026-67484 to contain the fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify and document all Linux systems with AMD XDna hardware where force_iova mode is enabled in the amdxdna driver configuration. …
