Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-72328)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

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 execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in the amdxdna umap handling in aie2_populate_range() when racing concurrent memory mapping operations with object release. A local user can trigger concurrent operations to reuse a released amdxdna_umap object and execute arbitrary code.

The issue occurs because a reference may be acquired for an amdxdna_umap while release is already in progress.
