CVE-2026-68445

Estado: RecibidaAlta (7.8)—

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

drm/vc4: Prevent shader BO mappings from becoming writable

vc4_gem_object_mmap() rejects a writable mapping of a validated shader BO, but leaves VM_MAYWRITE set. Userspace can map the BO read-only and then turn it writable with mprotect().

Validated shader BOs must stay read-only: the validator checks the instructions once and the GPU trusts them afterwards. A writable mapping lets userspace rewrite the code after validation, bypassing the validator.

Clear VM_MAYWRITE on the read-only path so the mapping cannot be upgraded, as i915 already does for its read-only objects.
