Overview

CVE-2026-68263 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 10, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/imagination: Fix double call to drm_sched_entity_fini()

Call sequence of double call:

pvr_context_destroy

  pvr_context_kill_queues

    pvr_queue_kill

      drm_sched_entity_destroy

        drm_sched_entity_fini // here

  pvr_context_put

    kref_put(..., pvr_context_release)

      pvr_context_destroy_queues

        pvr_queue_destroy

          drm_sched_entity_fini // here

Call to drm_sched_entity_destroy() from pvr_context_kill_queues() calls

drm_sched_entity_flush() + drm_sched_entity_fini().

drm_sched_entity_flush() ensures all pending jobs are completed and

drm_sched_entity_fini() ensures no further submission is allowed as

per expectation from pvr_context_kill_queues(). Double call to

drm_sched_entity_fini() is misuse of the API so keep call only in

pvr_context_create() failure path.
