Overview

CVE-2025-71099 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on January 13, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

drm/xe/oa: Fix potential UAF in xe_oa_add_config_ioctl()

In xe_oa_add_config_ioctl(), we accessed oa_config->id after dropping

metrics_lock. Since this lock protects the lifetime of oa_config, an

attacker could guess the id and call xe_oa_remove_config_ioctl() with

perfect timing, freeing oa_config before we dereference it, leading to

a potential use-after-free.

Fix this by caching the id in a local variable while holding the lock.

v2: (Matt A)

- Dropped mutex_unlock(&oa->metrics_lock) ordering change from

xe_oa_remove_config_ioctl()

(cherry picked from commit 28aeaed130e8e587fd1b73b6d66ca41ccc5a1a31)

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
