CVE-2026-45202: CWE-415: Double Free in Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK
CVE-2026-45202 is a double free vulnerability in the Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK. It occurs when software running as a non-privileged user makes GPU system calls that lead to GPU memory leaks and potential kernel heap corruption. The issue arises from memory free paths that do not maintain state data of upgraded higher order allocations, causing either memory leaks or double free events. No patch or official remediation has been confirmed yet. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a double free condition in the Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK, triggered by GPU system calls from non-privileged software. The root cause is improper handling of memory free paths that fail to maintain state data for upgraded higher order allocations, resulting in GPU memory leaks or kernel heap corruption. The vulnerability is identified as CWE-415 (Double Free). No CVSS score or patch information is currently available, and no active exploitation has been reported.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability could lead to GPU memory leaks and potential kernel heap corruption, which may affect system stability or security. Since it involves kernel heap corruption, it could theoretically be leveraged for denial of service or privilege escalation, but no such exploitation has been confirmed. The impact is limited to systems using the affected Graphics DDK when running software that makes GPU system calls.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, monitor vendor communications for updates. No vendor advisory or official remediation information is currently available.
