CVE-2026-43298

Description

A flaw was found in the amdgpu graphics driver within the Linux kernel. During deinitialization, the driver attempts to release a Video Core Next (VCN) poison interrupt request (IRQ) on a Virtual Function (VF) even when it was not enabled. This can cause a kernel warning and lead to system instability, potentially resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details

Info alert:Important note

CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)

CWE-832

Integrity,Confidentiality,Availability,Other

Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart; Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands; Modify Memory; Other

Depending on the locking being used, an unlock operation might not have any adverse effects. When effects exist, the most common consequence will be a corruption of the state of the product, possibly leading to a crash or exit; depending on the implementation of the unlocking, memory corruption or code execution could occur.
