Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74446)

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

CVSSv4: 8.5 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in kfd_criu_checkpoint_events() in the amdkfd event handling code when checkpointing CRIU events while concurrent event create or destroy operations occur. A local user can trigger concurrent event insertion or removal to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Exploitation requires a second thread in the same process to race event creation or destruction with the checkpoint operation.
