CVE-2026-31765
5.5 · MEDIUMOverview
CVE-2026-31765 is a medium-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on May 1, 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:
drm/amdgpu: Change AMDGPU_VA_RESERVED_TRAP_SIZE to 64KB
Currently, AMDGPU_VA_RESERVED_TRAP_SIZE is hardcoded to 8KB, while
KFD_CWSR_TBA_TMA_SIZE is defined as 2 * PAGE_SIZE. On systems with
4K pages, both values match (8KB), so allocation and reserved space
are consistent.
However, on 64K page-size systems, KFD_CWSR_TBA_TMA_SIZE becomes 128KB,
while the reserved trap area remains 8KB. This mismatch causes the
kernel to crash when running rocminfo or rccl unit tests.
