CVE-2026-46174: x86/CPU/AMD: Prevent improper isolation of shared resources in Zen2's op cache

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.15% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Linux Linux 1cd85a19748b2407830376a5cbae5c0f126016e5, 1e23b30a80b14e5764657401ee2cca030525ae8e, 251497955f2314cd39d43191e81c6151dead4c7b.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Linux Linux 1cd85a19748b2407830376a5cbae5c0f126016e5, 1e23b30a80b14e5764657401ee2cca030525ae8e, 251497955f2314cd39d43191e81c6151dead4c7b or later.

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.
