How severe is CVE-2026-68257?

No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2026-68257 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-68257?

CVE-2026-68257 affects the following packages: Kernel (Linux). Ecosystems affected: Linux.

How do I fix CVE-2026-68257?

Update Kernel to 6.12.101 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-68257 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-68257 in my Linux dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for Kernel. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-68257 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2026-68257?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2026-68257 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2026-68257 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-68257 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

Description

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

drm/amdkfd: fix 32-bit overflow in CWSR total size calculation

total_cwsr_size was computed in 32-bit before being used as a BO/SVM allocation size. With large ctx_save_restore_area_size and debug_memory_size multiplied by the XCC count, the product can wrap, yielding an undersized CWSR save area that firmware later overruns.

Promote total_cwsr_size to u64 and use check_add_overflow()/ check_mul_overflow() in both kfd_queue_acquire_buffers() and kfd_queue_release_buffers().

(cherry picked from commit 319f7e13423ae3f486b9aea82f9ad2d6af0ee608)
