Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-74450)
CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After 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 use-after-free in the amdgpu pp_table sysfs handling when copying the power table after dropping adev->pm.mutex. A local user can trigger a concurrent pp_table write during the copy to cause a denial of service.
The issue arises because a driver-owned power table pointer is returned and later used by the sysfs path after the mutex is released.
