Description
CVE-2026-93178 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMDGPU power management code. It involves missing bounds checks on voltage index values used in SMU7 lookup tables, which can lead to invalid memory access. The issue is fixed by returning an error code when an out-of-range index is detected.
