Last modified

CVE-2026-23429 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/sva: Fix crash in iommu_sva_unbind_device() domain->mm->iommu_mm can be freed by iommu_domain_free(): iommu_domain_free() mmdrop() __mmdrop() mm_pasid_drop() After iommu_domain_free() returns, accessing domain->mm->iommu_mm may dereference a freed mm structure, leading to a crash. Fix this by moving the code that accesses domain->mm->iommu_mm to before the call to iommu_domain_free().. EPSS estimates a 0.13% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
