CVE-2026-72244

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description An issue exists in the gpu/buddy allocator where the try harder contiguous fallback may return a memory range with a start offset that does not align with the caller's min block size. This occurs when a candidate's start is misaligned, potentially leading to incorrect memory allocation. The fix involves realigning misaligned candidates down to the min block size for both RHS and LHS paths by freeing the misaligned run and reallocating the exact size at the next lower min block size boundary.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
