What does CVE-2026-53375 affect?
CVE-2026-53375 affects Linux kernel (amdgpu VCE driver), Systems with AMD GPUs using VCE/video coding engine. Confirm the exact affected versions against the vendor advisory before deciding you are exposed.
What should I do about CVE-2026-53375?
Update Linux kernel to the patched release and restrict untrusted GPU access.
Exploitation status reflects CISA's KEV catalog as we last synced it. Check the catalog directly.
Bad address writes to GPU firmware via VCE patching, risking firmware corruption, GPU DoS, or potential privilege escalation from local or untrusted code.

As published in the CVE Program record. A version outside these ranges is not a statement that it is unaffected — vendors sometimes understate a range, and distribution-backported builds carry upstream numbers that do not reflect what was patched into them.
