AMD Instinct™ MI210: Binding to an Unrestricted IP Address
CVE-2026-0481 is a critical-severity binding to an unrestricted IP address vulnerability in AMD Instinct™ MI210 from AMD, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.2 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.31% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Check which version of AMD Instinct™ MI210 you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
Unrestricted IP address binding in the AMD Device Metrics Exporter (ROCm ecosystem) could allow a remote attacker to perform unauthorized changes to the GPU configuration, potentially resulting in loss of availability
Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.
The underlying weakness: Binding to an Unrestricted IP Address
The product assigns the address 0.0.0.0 for a database server, a cloud service/instance, or any computing resource that communicates remotely.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Assign IP addresses that are not 0.0.0.0.
- Unwanted connections to the configured server may be denied through a firewall or other packet filtering measures.
