Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) NULL Pointer Dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23328)

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference in the accel/amdxdna component when handling management channel operations. A local user can trigger improper handling of firmware error responses to cause a denial of service.

The issue arises when mgmt_chann is set to NULL due to an unexpected firmware error, which is later dereferenced during hardware stop operations.
