Overview

CVE-2025-71308 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on May 27, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5 (MEDIUM).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.5, rated MEDIUM. 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:

accel/amdxdna: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in context cleanup

aie_destroy_context() is invoked during error handling in

aie2_create_context(). However, aie_destroy_context() assumes that the

context's mailbox channel pointer is non-NULL. If mailbox channel

creation fails, the pointer remains NULL and calling aie_destroy_context()

can lead to a NULL pointer dereference.

In aie2_create_context(), replace aie_destroy_context() with a function

which request firmware to remove the context created previously.

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.
