Description
On GPU systems with the security vulnerability fix for CVE-2026-49746 applied, the mapping range of graphics buffers is limited which causes errors when the mapping outside of that range.

Integer truncation caused when mapping GPU buffer pages in the buffer’s range 0GB - 4GB, produces error and limits the functionality of the kernel mode driver.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an integer truncation that occurs when mapping GPU buffer pages within the 0 GB‑to‑4 GB range after the security fix for CVE‑2026‑49746 has been applied. This truncation causes an error in the driver, forcing the system to reject mapping requests outside that range, which limits the kernel mode driver’s functionality and can lead to a denial of service or degraded graphics performance.

Affected Systems

Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK. No specific product or version details are provided beyond the vendor and the affected driver family.

Risk and Exploitability

The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog, indicating no publicly documented exploitation. The primary risk is functional limitation rather than confidentiality or integrity compromise. Since the issue arises after applying a prior mitigation, the vulnerability itself is unlikely to be directly exploitable by attackers, but it can be abused by legitimate users or owners if buffer limits are not enforced, potentially disrupting services or causing crashes. Patch availability is not known, so the recommended posture is to monitor for vendor updates and constrain buffer sizes until a fix is released.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Limit the allocation of graphics buffers to no more than 4 GB to prevent mapping errors.
  • Coordinate with Imagination Technologies to request a fix or patch that restores full buffer mapping capability.
  • Monitor system logs for mapping errors and apply kernel updates that mitigate the truncation bug.
  • If critical applications require buffers larger than 4 GB, consider alternative GPU drivers or hardware that are not affected.
