CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.18.41/7.1.5. It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is the function amdgpu_gem_op_ioctl of the file drm/amdgpu of the component amdgpu. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-476. A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit. Impacted is availability. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: check amdgpu_vm_bo_find() result in GET_MAPPING_INFO The AMDGPU_GEM_OP_GET_MAPPING_INFO path of amdgpu_gem_op_ioctl() looks up the bo_va for the buffer object in the caller's VM via amdgpu_vm_bo_find(), but uses the returned pointer without checking it. amdgpu_vm_bo_find() returns NULL when the BO has no bo_va in that VM, which is the normal case for a BO that has never been mapped. The result is fed straight into amdgpu_vm_bo_va_for_each_valid_mapping(), which expands to list_for_each_entry(mapping, &(bo_va)->valids, list) and dereferences bo_va, causing a NULL pointer dereference. This is reachable by any process able to issue the ioctl (render group) simply by requesting mapping info for an unmapped BO. Return -ENOENT when no bo_va is found, jumping to out_exec so the drm_exec context and GEM object reference are released. (cherry picked from commit 528b19377affc1cc7362a70a254c1dda793595f9)

The advisory is available at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2026-68275 since 07/30/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. Local access is required to approach this attack. Technical details are known, but there is no available exploit.

Upgrading to version 6.18.42, 7.1.6 or 7.2-rc1 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch ddba17b3dfa0efc80d6c98621c2fb7af66adb622/9faf4c66edb6bcb8ca0465c3a4868bb7f278cd31/93475c34111916df71c63e510fc52db01351f809 is able to eliminate this problem.
