Race condition in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-68329

Vulnerability identifier: #VU141717

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68329

CWE-ID: CWE-362

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a use-after-free condition.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in iommu_completion_wait() in the AMD IOMMU subsystem when handling concurrent command completion waits across multiple CPUs. A local user can trigger concurrent IOMMU command activity to cause a use-after-free condition.

The issue occurs because the code may return without waiting for previously queued commands to complete in hardware, which can leave stale translations in use while related page-table pages are freed.
