CVE-2026-63855

Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AMDGPU Video Core Next (VCN) driver. The VCN encoder and decoder rings do not support 64-bit user fence writes. A local attacker could exploit this by submitting commands with unsupported 64-bit user fences, which could lead to system instability or 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.
