Kernel heap disclosure via unchecked CRAT length
Published Sep 3, 2026 · Updated Sep 3, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in the Linux kernel before 7.1.10 allows attackers controlling platform firmware to expose adjacent heap data via KFD sysfs. The CRAT loop validates only the eight-byte subtype header before kfd_parse_subtype() widens the pointer to 40- or 64-byte structures and reads fields beyond the allocated image. Reachability requires an AMD APU or GPU system whose firmware supplies a crafted ACPI CRAT; upstream analysis identifies firmware-driven exposure through 6.5 and defense-in-depth hardening from 6.6 onward.

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.
Is a vulnerable build present?
