CVE-2026-41156: CWE-416: Use After Free (4.15) in Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK
CVE-2026-41156 is a use-after-free vulnerability in Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK. It occurs when a non-privileged user triggers improper GPU system calls that cause a shared memory resource to be freed by the CPU thread while still being accessed by the GPU firmware thread. This results in a write use-after-free condition. No patch or remediation information is currently available.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a race condition between CPU and GPU threads managing a shared memory page in the Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK. Specifically, the CPU thread (driver) may free a memory resource before the GPU firmware thread has finished accessing it, leading to a write use-after-free (CWE-416) scenario. The issue can be triggered by software running as a non-privileged user through improper GPU system calls. No CVSS score or vendor remediation details have been published yet.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows a non-privileged user to cause a write use-after-free condition in GPU memory management. This could potentially lead to memory corruption, instability, or other unintended behavior in the graphics driver or firmware. However, no known exploits are reported in the wild, and the exact impact beyond the use-after-free condition is not detailed.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or mitigation is currently documented.
