CVE-2026-41158: CWE-416: Use After Free in Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK
CVE-2026-41158 is a use-after-free vulnerability in Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK. It allows software running as a non-privileged user to perform GPU system calls that write to arbitrary freed physical memory pages. This occurs because physical memory allocated and freed without a deferred free mechanism can be accessed by the GPU after the kernel module has released the resource.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a use-after-free condition (CWE-416) in the Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK. When physical memory is allocated and freed without employing a deferred free mechanism, the GPU can still access these freed resources for read and write operations. This enables non-privileged software to conduct GPU system calls that write to arbitrary freed physical pages, potentially leading to unauthorized memory manipulation.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows non-privileged software to write to arbitrary freed physical memory pages via GPU system calls. This could lead to unauthorized memory corruption or data manipulation at the physical memory level. No specific exploit in the wild or further impact details are provided.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary workaround has been documented at this time.
