CVE-2026-31766: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: validate doorbell_offset in user queue creation amdgpu_userq_get_doorbell_index() passes the user-provided doorbell_offset to amdgpu_doorbell_index_on_bar() without bounds checking. An arbitrarily large doorbell_offset can cause the calculated doorbell index to fall outside the allocated doorbell BO, potentially corrupting kernel doorbell space. Validate that doorbell_offset falls within the doorbell BO before computing the BAR index, using u64 arithmetic to prevent overflow. (cherry picked from commit de1ef4ffd70e1d15f0bf584fd22b1f28cbd5e2ec)
The exploitability of CVE-2026-31766 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).
CVE-2026-31766 presents an accessible attack vector with minimal effort required. Restricting access controls and implementing security updates are critical to reducing exploitation risks.
A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.
Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.
Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.
Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-31766, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.
Below is the Impact Analysis for CVE-2026-31766, showing how Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability might be affected if the vulnerability is exploited. Higher values usually signal greater potential damage.
