CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Linux Kernel up to 6.1.177/6.6.144/6.12.96/6.18.39/7.1.4. This affects the function kfd_criu_restore_event/criu_restore_memory_of_gpu of the file amdkfd.c of the component amdkfd. The manipulation of the argument idr_handle with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: Validate CRIU-restored IDs before idr_alloc The KFD CRIU restore flow restores previously saved object IDs from userspace. For event restore: kfd_criu_restore_event() -> create_signal_event() / create_other_event() -> allocate_event_notification_slot() -> idr_alloc(..., *restore_id, *restore_id + 1, ...) For BO restore: criu_restore_memory_of_gpu() -> idr_alloc(..., bo_priv->idr_handle, ...) In both cases, the restored ID comes from userspace-provided CRIU data. idr_alloc() expects the ID range values to fit within signed int limits. If a restored ID is larger than INT_MAX, it can trigger a WARN in the IDR layer. A kernel WARN is undesirable because it prints a warning trace and may cause a panic or reboot on systems with panic_on_warn enabled. Smatch reported these paths as allowing unchecked userspace values to reach idr_alloc(). Add INT_MAX validation before using restored IDs in: - kfd_criu_restore_event() - criu_restore_memory_of_gpu() If the restored ID is invalid, return -EINVAL. This prevents invalid restore data from reaching the IDR layer and avoids WARN-triggering paths, while keeping valid restore behavior unchanged.

It is possible to read the advisory at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2026-80870 since 08/26/2026. The exploitability is told to be easy. Attacking locally is a requirement. Technical details of the vulnerability are known, but there is no available exploit. The pricing for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 09/04/2026).

Upgrading to version 6.1.178, 6.6.145, 6.12.97, 6.18.40 or 7.1.5 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch f8687018f24037056692c1e93c7d96cc72889d5b/89a75e3349c4fae28cbedc711bc924cbc6293da2/085ea93bda71fee600cc12a17026598eb10dd1f9/543ed0f61d56501cc585162da600bbedd7c08c0f/cb6311f25a096621ac7ffd91b50d1bb1cfb63a96/85043dd49c2f51a37b22618168e3ae59ab92f0d6 is able to eliminate this problem.
