Overview

CVE-2026-64590 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 6, 2026.

Technical description

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

dma-buf/udmabuf: skip redundant cpu sync to fix cacheline EEXIST warning

When CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG_SG is enabled, importing a udmabuf into a DRM

driver (e.g. amdgpu for video playback in GNOME Videos / Showtime)

triggers a spurious warning:

DMA-API: amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: cacheline tracking EEXIST, \

overlapping mappings aren't supported

WARNING: kernel/dma/debug.c:619 at add_dma_entry+0x473/0x5f0

The call chain is:

amdgpu_cs_ioctl

-> amdgpu_ttm_backend_bind

-> dma_buf_map_attachment

-> [udmabuf] map_udmabuf -> get_sg_table

-> dma_map_sgtable(dev, sg, direction, 0) // attrs=0

-> debug_dma_map_sg -> add_dma_entry -> EEXIST

This happens because udmabuf builds a per-page scatter-gather list via

sg_set_folio(). When begin_cpu_udmabuf() has already created an sg

table mapped for the misc device, and an importer such as amdgpu maps

the same pages for its own device via map_udmabuf()

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-64590?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-64590 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.
