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-2026-68242 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-2026-68242/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68242/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68242","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68242/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68242","record":{"aliases":["AZL-95201","BELL-CVE-2026-68242","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-68242","GHSA-4cj7-cqhw-3cg9","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68242"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can trigger a kernel crash via a NULL pointer dereference in the i915 graphics driver when scheduler engine allocation fails.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/i915/gt: Fix NULL deref on sched_engine alloc failure\n\nAvoid using intel_context_put() before intel_context_init() in\nexeclists_create_virtual() as the kref_put() inside would lead\nto NULL deref on the IOCTL path when sched_engine allocation fails.\n\nDiscovered using AI-assisted static analysis confirmed by\nIntel Product Security.\n\n(cherry picked from commit 4f2a12f2d50e9f48227656e4dcbd6423506be31d)","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/i915/gt: Fix NULL deref on sched_engine alloc failure","id":"CVE-2026-68242","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"drm/i915/gem: Fix NULL deref in I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_SSEU","id":"CVE-2026-68243"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"drm/i915/mst: limit DP MST ESI service loop","id":"CVE-2026-68241"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2026-08-10","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-21","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A local attacker can trigger a kernel crash via a NULL pointer dereference in the i915 graphics driver when scheduler engine allocation fails.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68242/"}
