CVE-2026-80902 — dmaengine: sun6i-dma: Fix reclaim descriptors while terminating DMA
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: sun6i-dma: Fix reclaim descriptors while terminating DMA When terminating DMA transfers, active descriptors are not properly reclaimed. Only cyclic descriptors were handled, leaving non-cyclic descriptors and their LLI chains to be permanently leaked. Fix by using vchan_terminate_vdesc() which handles both cyclic and non-cyclic descriptors by adding them to desc_terminated queue for proper cleanup. Add pchan->desc != pchan->done check to prevent double-adding completed descriptors, which would corrupt the list.
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.
