CVE-2026-15465Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK use after free
CVE-2026-15465 is a use after free in Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK, not yet scored.
Why this priority: Not scored yet, and no exploitation signal.
Published · Updated · NVD status: Received
What it is
Code keeps using memory after releasing it, so an attacker who refills that memory can steer execution.
How it is reached
The record does not say yet how the flaw is reached; the description below is the best guide until it is scored.
What an attacker gains
Its impact has not been scored yet. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker crash the process, read memory, or in the worst case run code.
Is it being exploited?
There is no public report of exploitation yet.
What to do
- Upgrade Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK to 26.3 RTM or later.
Description from NVD
Software installed and run as a non-privileged user may conduct improper GPU system calls through the DDK kernel module interface. Under unsupported use of the interface, a use-after-free condition may occur that can lead to kernel memory corruption, platform instability, or system reboot.
The weakness occurs when software references memory after it has been released. Accessing memory after free may result in corruption of valid data structures, unexpected program behaviour, process crashes, or execution of unintended operations.
What this means for your architecture.
A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.
Components it touches
- Native code: operating systems, browsers and firmware. The flaw sits wherever native code reads untrusted data.
- Network appliances and media or file parsers. The flaw sits wherever native code reads untrusted data.
Trust boundaries in play
- Wherever native code reads untrusted data. An attacker who crosses it can crash the process, read memory, or in the worst case run code.
Questions to answer about your own systems
- Where does Imagination Technologies Graphics DDK run in your systems, and at which version?
- Which of those instances are reachable by people you do not trust?
- What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
