Integer overflow in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-89818
Published: September 17, 2026
Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information and cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to an integer overflow in the AMDGPU VCN message parser when processing a VCN message with an oversized buffer count. A local user can submit a specially crafted VCN message to disclose sensitive information and cause a denial of service.
Triggering the issue additionally requires an approximately 4 GiB mapping.
