Overview

CVE-2026-80633 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 28, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8, 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:

iommufd: Take dma_resv lock before dma_buf_unpin() in release path

dma_buf_unpin() requires the caller to hold the exporter's dma_resv

lock:

void dma_buf_unpin(struct dma_buf_attachment *attach)

{

...

dma_resv_assert_held(dmabuf->resv);

...

}

iopt_release_pages() calls dma_buf_unpin() without taking that lock,

so every iommufd_ioas_destroy()/iommufd_ioas_unmap() that releases

the last reference on a DMABUF-backed iopt_pages triggers a WARN.

This was hit while running tools/testing/selftests/iommu/iommufd:

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-80633?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-80633 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.
