Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the `gpu: host1x` component of the Linux kernel. The `__host1x_bo_unpin()` function incorrectly dereferences a memory mapping after it has been freed, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. This issue could allow a local attacker to cause memory corruption, potentially leading to a system crash (Denial of Service) or, in more severe scenarios, arbitrary code execution.	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-10 12:37:31 UTC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

gpu: host1x: Fix use-after-free in host1x_bo_clear_cached_mappings

__host1x_bo_unpin() drops the last reference to the mapping and frees
it, so we can't dereference mapping afterwards. The cache itself
outlives the mapping, so use the cache local variable instead.
