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-2026-68260 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-2026-68260/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68260/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-68260","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-68260/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-68260","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-68260","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-68260","GHSA-qrmv-vc96-x8hw","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68260"],"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 race condition in the Imagination GPU driver causes a null pointer dereference, leading to a kernel crash and denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"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":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndrm/imagination: acquire vm_ctx-\u003elock before mapping memory to GPU VM\n\nThe drm gpuvm code doesn't protect find operation against map operation,\nand the driver needs to ensure a map operation shouldn't happen when a\nfind operation is in progress.\n\nIn some cases a find operation will be in progress when doing map/unmap\noperations, and the find operation will do a NULL pointer dereference.\n\nAn example of the stack trace of such NULL dereference is shown below:\n\n```\nUnable to handle kernel access to user memory without uaccess routines at\nvirtual address 0000000000000010\n\n[\u003cffffffff01e989d4\u003e] drm_gpuva_find+0x28/0x6c [drm_gpuvm]\n[\u003cffffffff01ed3a40\u003e] pvr_vm_unmap+0x34/0x68 [powervr]\n[\u003cffffffff01ec69da\u003e] pvr_ioctl_vm_unmap+0x2e/0x50 [powervr]\n[\u003cffffffff8080ce0a\u003e] drm_ioctl_kernel+0x8e/0xdc\n[\u003cffffffff8080d016\u003e] drm_ioctl+0x1be/0x3e0\n[\u003cffffffff802bec3e\u003e] __riscv_sys_ioctl+0xba/0xc4\n[\u003cffffffff80d858b2\u003e] do_trap_ecall_u+0x23e/0x3f4\n[\u003cffffffff80d92288\u003e] handle_exception+0x168/0x174\n```\n\nAs all occurences of drm_gpuva_find*() are already guarded by\nvm_ctx-\u003elock, make pvr_vm_map() to acquire this lock to prevent\ndisturbing any find operation.
