CVE-2026-80818 — iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Fix CMD_SYNC use-after-free on teardown
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Fix CMD_SYNC use-after-free on teardown arm_smmu_impl_remove() is registered as a devres action in arm_smmu_impl_probe(), before arm_smmu_init_queues() allocates smmu->cmdq.q.base. On a devres unwind, whether a failed probe or an unbind, the queue is freed first and arm_smmu_impl_remove() then runs tegra241_cmdqv_remove_vintf(), whose VINTF deinit issues a CMD_SYNC on the freed memory. Observed during testing with a QEMU hack that makes the VCMDQ fail to enable, so the impl reset fails and probe aborts into the devres unwind: platform NVDA200C:00: tegra241_cmdqv: VINTF0: VCMDQ0/LVCMDQ0: failed to enable, STATUS=0x00000000 platform NVDA200C:00: tegra241_cmdqv: VINTF0: VCMDQ0/LVCMDQ0: GERRORN=0x0, GERROR=0x4, CONS=0x0 platform NVDA200C:00: tegra241_cmdqv: VINTF0: VCMDQ0/LVCMDQ0: uncleared error detected, resetting arm-smmu-v3 arm-smmu-v3.0.auto: failed to reset impl arm-smmu-v3 arm-smmu-v3.0.auto: probe with driver arm-smmu-v3 failed with error -110 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffff8000891e0098 ...

Quiesce the VINTFs earlier instead. Add a device_disable() impl op and run it from arm_smmu_disable_action() while the CMDQ is still up. That handles a live unbind. A failed reset is already handled because tegra241_vintf_hw_init() deinits the VINTF on its own error path. tegra241_cmdqv_remove_vintf() is also used by the iommufd viommu destroy path, so quiesce there too.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+2
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.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?
CVE-2026-80818 is "iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Fix CMD_SYNC use-after-free on teardown", 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 0.21% 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.
