Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-80618)
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 amdgpu_amdkfd_gpuvm_free_memory_of_gpu() when freeing DOORBELL or MMIO remap buffer objects that remain mapped to GPU memory. A local user can trigger memory free operations on such buffer objects to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs because the buffer object may be unpinned before the function determines it cannot yet be freed and returns -EBUSY, leaving it to be unpinned again later during process teardown.
Remediation
Install update from vendor's website.
