# CVE-2026-64051: accel/qaic: Add overflow check to remap_pfn_range during mmap

> A missing overflow check in the Linux kernel's QAIAC driver allows use-after-free conditions, potentially enabling local attackers to execute code or escalate privileges.

- **Severity:** High 7.8 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`)
- **Exploited in the wild:** Not known
- **Login needed:** Any signed-in user
- **Attackable:** Local or same network only
- **Victim action needed:** Not needed
- **Fix available:** Yes
- **Published:** 19 Jul 2026
- **Updated:** 5 Aug 2026
- **Also known as:** BELL-CVE-2026-64051, DEBIAN-CVE-2026-64051, GHSA-26m7-cqmr-vwvj, UBUNTU-CVE-2026-64051

## What is CVE-2026-64051?

CVE-2026-64051 is a high-severity use after free vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 19 Jul 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

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

accel/qaic: Add overflow check to remap_pfn_range during mmap

The call to remap_pfn_range in qaic_gem_object_mmap is susceptible to
(re)mapping beyond the VMA if the BO is too large. This can cause use
after free issues when munmap() unmaps only the VMA region and not the
additional mappings. To prevent this, check the remaining size of the
VMA before remapping and truncate the remapped length if sg->length is
too large.

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2026-64051 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-64051 is a high-severity use after free vulnerability in Linux kernel, published on 19 Jul 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-64051 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Linux kernel. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
