CVE-2026-68303

A null dereference vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's drm/vc4 component. The hvs and v3d drivers use dev_get_drvdata(master) in their unbind functions, which can lead to a null pointer dereference error when the vc4-drm is removed before its dependent drivers. This issue affects Linux kernel maintainers and users, system administrators, and security teams responsible for patching and vulnerabil [truncated]

CVE-2026-68289

A Linux kernel vulnerability was resolved, addressing an integer overflow issue in the tipc_recvmsg() and tipc_recvstream() functions. The vulnerability could lead to a kernel panic. The issue arises when the buflen exceeds INT_MAX, causing a wrap to a negative value, which then propagates to simple_copy_to_iter(), triggering a WARN_ON. This issue requires verification of exposure and application of patch [truncated]

CVE-2026-68288

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netlink drop monitor subsystem can lead to an information leak. The `net_dm_packet_report_fill` and `net_dm_hw_packet_report_fill` functions do not properly initialize padding bytes when constructing the `NET_DM_ATTR_PAYLOAD` attribute, potentially leaking 1-3 uninitialized bytes to user space. This issue was reported by an unnamed source and confirmed by the Linux ke [truncated]

CVE-2026-68287

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drop_monitor component can lead to an skb_over_panic() when __nla_reserve() or skb_put() is called, due to under-estimation of SKB size. This issue arises from the use of nla_put_u64_64bit() to append 64-bit attributes without proper size calculations. The vulnerability affects Linux kernel versions and configurations, potentially allowing for denial-of-service (DoS) [truncated]

CVE-2026-68286

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drop_monitor component has been addressed. The issue involves improper synchronization of u64_stats updates, which could lead to seqcount state corruption or inaccurate stats values on 32-bit architectures when interrupts are nested. This problem arises because u64_stats_update_begin() disables preemption but not interrupts, relying on seqcount writes to ensure atomic [truncated]

CVE-2026-68278

The Linux kernel has a vulnerability in drm/dp/mst that could lead to buffer overflows due to improper handling of sideband chunk accumulation. This issue arises from drm_dp_sideband_append_payload() processing device-provided sideband reply data. There are three primary bugs: a zero-length curchunk_len underflow, a chunk[48] overflow, and a msg[256] overflow. These bugs can be exploited by any DP MST dev [truncated]

CVE-2026-68276

A Linux kernel vulnerability was resolved, addressing a drm/amdgpu/gfx cleaner shader IB buffer overflow. The cleaner shader sysfs path allocates a 16-dword (64 byte) IB but incorrectly fills (align_mask + 1) dwords, causing a kernel page fault. The IB only needs to be a minimal NOP shell to schedule the job. This issue affects Linux kernel users and administrators, who should review system configurations [truncated]

CVE-2026-68275

The Linux kernel has a vulnerability in the drm/amdgpu component. The AMDGPU_GEM_OP_GET_MAPPING_INFO path of amdgpu_gem_op_ioctl() does not check the result of amdgpu_vm_bo_find(), leading to a potential NULL pointer dereference. This issue can be triggered by any process able to issue the ioctl, simply by requesting mapping info for an unmapped BO.

CVE-2026-68274

A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's drm/xe/guc component. The vulnerability occurs when calculating the size of the steered register extarray, which uses only the geometry DSS mask (g_dss_mask) to determine the number of entries to allocate. However, the filling loop uses for_each_dss_steering(), which iterates over for_each_dss(), defined as the union of g_dss_mask and c_dss_m [truncated]

CVE-2026-68267

A security vulnerability has been identified and resolved in the Linux kernel, specifically in the drm/xe/rtp component. The issue involved unconditional whitelisting of OA registers, which is a security violation. The fix sets the RING_FORCE_TO_NONPRIV_DENY bit in OA nonpriv slots to prevent OA registers from being whitelisted by default after certain system events.

CVE-2026-68266

The Linux kernel's drm/xe component has a use-after-free vulnerability. An imported dma-buf BO is created with a reservation object that is the exporter's dma_buf->resv. However, the importer only takes a dma-buf reference after a successful dma_buf_dynamic_attach(). Until then, nothing keeps the exporter alive, allowing for a use-after-free if the exporter is freed while the BO still references its resv. [truncated]
