CVE-2026-68253
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915/hdcp: check streams[] bounds before overflow
The data->streams[] overflow check is done after the buffer overflow has already happened. Move the overflow check before the write.
Side note, emitting a warning splat with a backtrace might be overkill here, but prefer not changing the behaviour other than not doing the overrun.
Discovered using AI-assisted static analysis confirmed by Intel Product Security.
(cherry picked from commit 9284ab3b6e776c315883ac2611283d263c9460fd)
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 7.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 0.14%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 3
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation95 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution75 % - Impacto secundario
T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact60 %
Buffer overflow en kernel Linux (AV:L, PR:L, UI:N) permite escalada local. Acceso local con privilegios de usuario escalando sin interacción del usuario encaja en T1068. Ejecución de código y potencial DoS del kernel como impactos.
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
