When the SMU leaves them at\nzero this maps physical address 0 and trips the ioremap-on-RAM warning:\n\n  amd_pmc AMDI000B:00: SMU cmd failed. err: 0xff\n  ioremap on RAM at 0x0000000000000000 - 0x0000000000ffffff\n  WARNING: CPU: 13 PID: 4592 at arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c:...\n\nCheck the return value of each SMU command and propagate it, and reject a\nzero physical address before calling devm_ioremap().","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","score":7.7},"cwes":[],"references":["https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0225c1d637687b03726f00ac65b6def843d2c464","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/638e1ca5d4e2b4fdbb209db64926d013b34f3b79","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/775d4cde1f9737796ce7d8393521e9e8c5b49891","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8178f59d76570b152d836bde07f5997f15861f04","https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/85ef9d4c384c1d143c51580933674d94dba3b8d9"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-22T16:41:11.231219466+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-81016","score":0.00186,"percentile":0.08079,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
