High CVSS 7.8

CVE-2026-72090

NVD analysis in progress

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: accel/amdxdna: Use caller client for debug BO sync amdxdna_drm_sync_bo_ioctl() looks up args->handle in the ioctl caller's drm_file. For SYNC_DIRECT_FROM_DEVICE, it then calls amdxdna_hwctx_sync_debug_bo(), but passes abo->client. amdxdna_hwctx_sync_debug_bo() uses the passed client both as the handle namespace for debug_bo_hdl and as the owner of the hardware context xarray. Those must match the file that supplied args->handle. The BO's stored client pointer is object state, not the ioctl context. Pass filp->driver_priv instead, matching the original handle lookup.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable with local access to the machine, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
