Summary

In the Linux kernel, the accel/qaic driver lacks an overflow check in remap_pfn_range during mmap, allowing a buffer object (BO) that is too large to map beyond the VMA region. This can cause use-after-free issues when munmap() unmaps only the VMA region.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to access freed kernel memory, potentially leading to privilege escalation or sensitive data disclosure.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix (commit referenced in CVE-2026-64051) or apply the relevant security patch.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: accel/qaic: Add overflow check to remap_pfn_range during mmap The call to remap_pfn_range in qaic_gem_object_mmap is susceptible to (re)mapping beyond the VMA if the BO is too large. This can cause use after free issues when munmap() unmaps only the VMA region and not the additional mappings. To prevent this, check the remaining size of the VMA before remapping and truncate the remapped length if sg->length is too large. [jhugo: fix braces from checkpatch --strict]
