Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-27 15:33 – Updated: 2026-05-30 12:30

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

accel/amdxdna: Hold mm structure across iommu_sva_unbind_device()

Some tests trigger a crash in iommu_sva_unbind_device() due to accessing iommu_mm after the associated mm structure has been freed.

Fix this by taking an explicit reference to the mm structure after successfully binding the device, and releasing it only after the device is unbound. This ensures the mm remains valid for the entire SVA bind/unbind lifetime.

Severity

7.8 (High)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
