Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-72449)

CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free

CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


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

The vulnerability exists due to a double free in kfd_criu_resume_svm() when handling a second AMDKFD_IOC_CRIU_OP request from the same process via /dev/kfd. A local user can trigger repeated cleanup of freed list entries to cause a denial of service.

The issue is reachable by an unprivileged render-group user and is caused by stale list entries left in the criu_svm_metadata_list after cleanup.
