HIGH Linux CVE published 2026-08-10

CVE-2026-68245

The Linux kernel has a use-after-free vulnerability in the amdgpu_vm_get_task_info_pasid() function. This issue arises because the vm pointer returned from amdgpu_vm_get_vm_from_pasid() is only valid while a lock is held. After the lock is released, the pointer can be modified, leading to potential crashes or unexpected behavior when accessed later. The vulnerability was resolved by removing the amdgpu_vm [truncated]

CVE-2026-68224

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's media: mali-c55. The media_pad_remote_pad_unique() function could return an ERR_PTR() on failure, which was not properly checked before being dereferenced. This could lead to an ERR_PTR dereference. The issue has been resolved by adding proper error checking with IS_ERR() before dereferencing the pointer and setting isp->remote_src to NULL on error.

CVE-2026-68205

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved. The v4l2 helper v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor() calls v4l2_async_register_subdev(), which is a macro that expands to __v4l2_async_register_subdev(sd,THIS_MODULE). Since the macro is expanded inside v4l2-fwnode.c, THIS_MODULE resolves to the v4l2-fwnode module rather than the sensor driver module that originally set sd->owner. When v4l2-fwnode is b [truncated]
