Overview

CVE-2026-93823 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 24, 2026.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdkfd: Let driver decide buffer size at AMDKFD_IOC_GET_DMABUF_INFO ioctl

amdkfd driver needs allocate buffer to return bo metadata to user space. The

buffer size is controlled by user currently. It is a potential security issue

that hostile value (e.g. 2 GiB) lets any render-group user trigger order-MAX

allocation/OOM in kernel context.

This patch first finds bo metadata size. If the size is smaller than user

provided value drive can safely allocate buffer in kernel space and copy to

user space buffer. If not, driver will let user know, not allocate and copy.

User will redo with new buffer in user space.

This patch lets driver decide buffer allocation size to avoid potential hostile

size from user space.

(cherry picked from commit f54ce9e8cbd3abe0eda3a285f54dc4f572fe589a)

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-93823?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-93823 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
