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-2026-68248 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-2026-68248/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68248/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68248","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68248/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68248","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-68248","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-68248","GHSA-38v6-hrg2-9478","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68248"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel's i915 driver can cause a system crash when memory 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: Return NULL on error in active_instance\n\nAvoid returning \u0026node-\u003ebase when node is NULL due to OOM\nduring GFP_ATOMIC allocation.\n\nDiscovered using AI-assisted static analysis confirmed by\nIntel Product Security.\n\n(cherry picked from commit 6029bc064f0b1bac184203a50fbaaf070fa18832)","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: Return NULL on error in active_instance","id":"CVE-2026-68248","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"drm/amdgpu/sdma5.0: replace BUG_ON() with WARN_ON()","id":"CVE-2026-68249"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"drm/i915/bios: range check LFP Data Block panel_type2","id":"CVE-2026-68247"},"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":"2026-08-19","vendors":["Linux"]},"summary":"A null pointer dereference in the Linux kernel's i915 driver can cause a system crash when memory allocation fails.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68248/"}
