Overview
CVE-2026-68259 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 10, 2026.
Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Check bounds in allocate_event_notification_slot
The valid event ids go from 0 to KFD_SIGNAL_EVENT_LIMIT
allocate_event_notification_slot has an option to specify
an event id to allocate at, used by CRIU. We weren't checking
the bounds on that value.
Check them.
v2: Lower bounds check is unecessary because of idr_alloc
already rejecting negative numbers. Upper bounds check should
be KFD_SIGNAL_EVENT_LIMIT since the signal mode mappings might
not yet exist
(cherry picked from commit 6853f1f6cbbeb3f53ebbbd7286536aeb2c5d5f50)

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-68259?
CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-68259 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
