Race condition in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-64591
Published: August 7, 2026
Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper state management in the Intel IOMMU SVA unbind path when unbinding SVA domains on devices without PCI/PRI support. A local user can trigger SVA unbind operations to cause a denial of service.
The issue triggers a kernel WARNING because the unbind path attempts to disable IOPF for a device that never had it enabled.
