CVE-2026-72090

7.8 · HIGH
Published Aug 15, 2026 EPSS 0.15% (5th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2026-72090 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, 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:

accel/amdxdna: Use caller client for debug BO sync

amdxdna_drm_sync_bo_ioctl() looks up args->handle in the ioctl caller's

drm_file. For SYNC_DIRECT_FROM_DEVICE, it then calls

amdxdna_hwctx_sync_debug_bo(), but passes abo->client.

amdxdna_hwctx_sync_debug_bo() uses the passed client both as the handle

namespace for debug_bo_hdl and as the owner of the hardware context xarray.

Those must match the file that supplied args->handle. The BO's stored

client pointer is object state, not the ioctl context.

Pass filp->driver_priv instead, matching the original handle lookup.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. 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.
