CVE-2026-68108 — drm/amdgpu/vce: fix integer overflow in image size
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/vce: fix integer overflow in image size Fix a security vulnerability where malicious VCE command streams with oversized dimensions (e.g. 65536×65536) cause 32-bit integer overflow, wrapping the calculated buffer size to 0. This bypasses validation and allows GPU firmware to perform out-of-bound memory access. The fix uses 64-bit arithmetic to detect overflow and rejects invalid dimensions before they reach the hardware. V2: remove redundant check V3: modify max height value V4: remove size64 (cherry picked from commit cbe408dba581755ad1279a487ec786d8927d778d)
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- Technical severity (high)+6
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Linux Linux).
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.
