Overview

CVE-2026-90424 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 17, 2026.

Technical description

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

iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Fix VINTF0 leak on the init-failure path

tegra241_cmdqv_init_structures() allocates VINTF0 with kzalloc_obj(), inits

it, and preallocates its logical VCMDQs. Two of its error paths leak.

When tegra241_cmdqv_init_vintf() fails it returns before VINTF0 reaches the

cmdqv->vintfs[] array, so the devres unwind on probe failure cannot reach

it; free it directly there.

A later VCMDQ preallocation failure instead leaves VINTF0 published, and so

this time the unwind does reach tegra241_cmdqv_remove_vintf(), which then

frees it from vintf->hyp_own. But tegra241_vintf_hw_init() sets that flag

only afterward, from a HW read-back, so the still-uninited VINTF0 reads as

guest-owned and leaks, with mutex_destroy() and ida_destroy() run on fields

it never set up.

Decide ownership from vintf->idx instead, the index assigned when its id is

allocated: idx 0 is the kernel-owned VINTF0, while idx >= 1 marks a gues

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-90424?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-90424 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.
