CVE-2026-7639

Status: AnalyzedHigh (7.8)—

Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct a sequence of improper GPU system calls causing use after free, which helps in facilitating unprivileged memory access from a shader code.

Triggering failure path in the MMU mapping logic by a malicious code could lead to incomplete cleanup of an internal driver state, allowing for future unauthorized access to the contents of the physical memory.

CVSS

Version: 3.1
Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Base score: 7.8

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.18%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 7
Score date: 10/5/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
