CVE-2026-31766

7.1 · HIGH
Published May 1, 2026 linux EPSS 0.12% (2th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-31766 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting linux linux_kernel. It was published on May 1, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1, 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/amdgpu: validate doorbell_offset in user queue creation

amdgpu_userq_get_doorbell_index() passes the user-provided

doorbell_offset to amdgpu_doorbell_index_on_bar() without bounds

checking. An arbitrarily large doorbell_offset can cause the

calculated doorbell index to fall outside the allocated doorbell BO,

potentially corrupting kernel doorbell space.

Validate that doorbell_offset falls within the doorbell BO before

computing the BAR index, using u64 arithmetic to prevent overflow.

(cherry picked from commit de1ef4ffd70e1d15f0bf584fd22b1f28cbd5e2ec)

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from linux. Update linux_kernel to the latest patched version. 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.
