AI-suggested

A fix for this memory leak vulnerability is available in updated Linux kernel versions. Users should apply the official kernel updates that include the patch for CVE-2026-45908 to remediate this issue. No additional mitigations are required beyond applying the patch.

Description

A memory leak vulnerability was identified and fixed in the Linux kernel's accel/amdxdna component. The issue occurred in the amdxdna_ubuf_map() function, which allocates memory for scatter-gather (sg) and internal sg table structures but fails to free them if certain subsequent operations fail. This flaw could lead to resource exhaustion and degraded system availability.
