CVE-2026-74716 — accel/amdxdna: Fix locally exploitable BUG_ON in amdxdna_insert_pages()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: accel/amdxdna: Fix locally exploitable BUG_ON in amdxdna_insert_pages() In amdxdna_insert_pages(), vm_flags_mod() sets VM_MIXEDMAP and clears VM_PFNMAP. If an unprivileged userspace process mmaps a non-imported GEM object and then calls madvise(MADV_DONTNEED), the PTEs will be successfully cleared because VM_MIXEDMAP allows this (unlike VM_PFNMAP). When userspace subsequently accesses the memory, drm_gem_shmem_fault() handles the page fault and attempts to map the backing shmem page via vmf_insert_pfn() which calls vmf_insert_pfn_prot(). Because the backing shmem page is normal system memory (pfn_valid(pfn) is true) and the VMA now has VM_MIXEDMAP set, won't this predictably trigger the explicit assertion BUG_ON((vma->vm_flags & VM_MIXEDMAP) && pfn_valid(pfn)) Fix by removing the vm_flags_mod() call and replacing the vm_insert_pages() pre-population with the handle_mm_fault() loop that was already used for the import (dma-buf) path.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+1

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
  2. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-74716 is "accel/amdxdna: Fix locally exploitable BUG_ON in amdxdna_insert_pages()", rated Unknown. It affects Linux (Linux); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. EPSS 0.20% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
