CVE-2026-45931
Published: May 27, 2026· Updated: May 30, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/amdxdna: Hold mm structure across iommu_sva_unbind_device()
Some tests trigger a crash in iommu_sva_unbind_device() due to
accessing iommu_mm after the associated mm structure has been
freed.
Fix this by taking an explicit reference to the mm structure
after successfully binding the device, and releasing it only
after the device is unbound. This ensures the mm remains valid
for the entire SVA bind/unbind lifetime.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-45931 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 7.8.
