Overview

CVE-2026-68364 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/amd/display: Fix ISM dc_lock deadlock during suspend

[Why]

System hang observed during suspend/resume while video is playing.

amdgpu_dm_ism_disable() is called under dc_lock and waits for ISM

delayed work via disable_delayed_work_sync(). The work handlers

themselves take dc_lock, producing an ABBA deadlock when a worker is

in flight at suspend time.

[How]

Split the disable path into two phases with opposite locking

contracts:

1. amdgpu_dm_ism_disable() -- quiesces workers, must NOT hold

dc_lock.

2. amdgpu_dm_ism_force_full_power() (new) -- drives the ISM FSM

back to FULL_POWER_RUNNING, must hold dc_lock.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-68364?

CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-68364 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.
