CVE-2026-22163
Such code can use the interface in an unsupported way that allows subversion of the GPU to perform writes to arbitrary physical memory pages.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.08%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
