It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-68236 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68236/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68236/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68236","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68236/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68236","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-68236","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-68236","GHSA-mrj4-jj6w-2fxx","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68236"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMD display driver allows attackers to potentially execute code or escalate privileges via a double release error.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-415","name":"Double Free"}],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/amd/display: set new_stream to NULL after release\n\nIn dm_update_crtc_state(), the skip_modeset path releases new_stream\nvia dc_stream_release() but does not set the pointer to NULL.\n\nIf a later error (e.g., color management failure) triggers the fail\nlabel, the error path calls dc_stream_release() again on the same\ndangling pointer, causing a double release and potential use-after-free.\n\nFix this by setting new_stream to NULL after the initial release.\n\n(cherry picked from commit 99f3af19073b3ddbfd96e789124cce12c4277b28)","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"drm/amd/display: set new_stream to NULL after release","id":"CVE-2026-68236","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"drm/amdgpu/userq: fix indefinite fence wait during GPU reset","id":"CVE-2026-68237"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"drm/amd/display: dce100: skip non-DP stream encoders for DP MST","id":"CVE-2026-68235"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-10","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMD display driver allows attackers to potentially execute code or escalate privileges via a double release error.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68236/"}
