CVE-2026-68108
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu/vce: fix integer overflow in image size
Fix a security vulnerability where malicious VCE command streams with oversized dimensions (e.g. 65536×65536) cause 32-bit integer overflow, wrapping the calculated buffer size to 0. This bypasses validation and allows GPU firmware to perform out-of-bound memory access.
The fix uses 64-bit arithmetic to detect overflow and rejects invalid dimensions before they reach the hardware.
V2: remove redundant check V3: modify max height value V4: remove size64
(cherry picked from commit cbe408dba581755ad1279a487ec786d8927d778d)
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 8.8
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: 5/10/2026
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 escalation85 % - Impacto principal
T1499.004Application or System Exploitationimpact75 % - Impacto secundario
T1005Data from Local Systemcollection65 %
Acceso local (AV:L, PR:L) sin interacción del usuario. La vulnerabilidad de integer overflow en el kernel de Linux permite escalada de privilegios mediante comandos VCE malformados que causan acceso fuera de límites en memoria GPU.
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.
