Kernel memory corruption via stale QoS request
Published Feb 27, 2025 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
Out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel's Intel IPU6 media driver allows local users to corrupt kernel memory after a failed probe. The ipu6-isys initialization error path frees the device structure without removing its CPU-latency QoS request, leaving a stale list node. Reachability requires local low-privileged access and Intel IPU6 hardware; the resulting list corruption triggers a kernel warning and corrupts kernel memory.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
