Overview

CVE-2026-23063 is a medium-severity vulnerability. It was published on February 4, 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:

uacce: ensure safe queue release with state management

Directly calling `put_queue` carries risks since it cannot

guarantee that resources of `uacce_queue` have been fully released

beforehand. So adding a `stop_queue` operation for the

UACCE_CMD_PUT_Q command and leaving the `put_queue` operation to

the final resource release ensures safety.

Queue states are defined as follows:

- UACCE_Q_ZOMBIE: Initial state

- UACCE_Q_INIT: After opening `uacce`

- UACCE_Q_STARTED: After `start` is issued via `ioctl`

When executing `poweroff -f` in virt while accelerator are still

working, `uacce_fops_release` and `uacce_remove` may execute

concurrently. This can cause `uacce_put_queue` within

`uacce_fops_release` to access a NULL `ops` pointer. Therefore, add

state checks to prevent accessing freed pointers.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-23063?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-23063 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
