Overview

CVE-2026-64591 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 6, 2026.

Technical description

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

iommu/vt-d: Avoid WARNING in sva unbind path

The Intel IOMMU driver allows SVA on devices even if they do not support

PCI/PRI. Commit 39c20c4e83b9 ("iommu/vt-d: Only handle IOPF for SVA when

PRI is supported") modified the SVA bind path to allow this configuration

by skipping IOPF enablement when PRI is missing. However, it failed to

update the unbind path.

This creates an imbalance: the unbind path attempts to disable IOPF for

a device that never had it enabled, triggering a WARNING in

intel_iommu_disable_iopf():

WARNING: drivers/iommu/intel/iommu.c:3475 at intel_iommu_disable_iopf+0x4f/0x90d

Call Trace:

<TASK>

xe_vm_close_and_put+0x4d2/0x1200 [xe]

Fix this by bypassing IOPF operations for SVA domains on non-PRI hardware

in both the bind and unbind paths.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-64591?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-64591 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.
