Overview

CVE-2026-68305 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/xe/vf: Add drm_dev guards when detaching CCS read/write buffers

CCS read/write buffers are freed during BO destruction. In some cases,

BOs may be destroyed after the device is unbound but while the DRM

structure remains valid, leading to NULL pointer dereferences when

accessing device resources.
