CVE-2026-53053
Published: June 24, 2026· Updated: Jun 28, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/amd: Fix clone_alias() to use the original device's devid
Currently clone_alias() assumes first argument (pdev) is always the
original device pointer. This function is called by
pci_for_each_dma_alias() which based on topology decides to send
original or alias device details in first argument.
This meant that the source devid used to look up and copy the DTE
may be incorrect, leading to wrong or stale DTE entries being
propagated to alias device.
Fix this by passing the original pdev as the opaque data argument to
both the direct clone_alias() call and pci_for_each_dma_alias(). Inside
clone_alias(), retrieve the original device from data and compute devid
from it.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-53053 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 8.8.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
