## What is CVE-2026-68325?

CVE-2026-68325 is a memory corruption vulnerability in Linux, published on 10 Aug 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommu/amd: Bound the early ACPI HID map

The ivrs_acpihid command-line parser appends entries to a fixed
four-element early_acpihid_map array. Unlike the sibling IOAPIC and HPET
parsers, it does not reject a fifth entry before incrementing the map size.

Check the capacity at the common found label before parsing the HID and
UID or writing the entry.

## Fix prompt for AI coding agents

```text
Check this codebase for CVE-2026-68325 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-68325 is a memory corruption vulnerability in Linux, published on 10 Aug 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-68325 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
