CVE-2026-68260
HighCVSS 7.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk6th percentile - higher than 6% of all known CVEs
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the drm/imagination driver has a vulnerability due to lack of synchronization between find and map operations in drm gpuvm. During map/unmap operations, a find operation may be in progress, leading to NULL pointer dereference. The fix acquires vm_ctx->lock before mapping memory.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes system crash (NULL pointer dereference) during mapping operations, which could lead to denial of service.
Recommendation
It is recommended to apply the kernel patch that adds acquisition of vm_ctx->lock in pvr_vm_map(), and update the system.
Original NVD description (English source)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/imagination: acquire vm_ctx->lock before mapping memory to GPU VM The drm gpuvm code doesn't protect find operation against map operation, and the driver needs to ensure a map operation shouldn't happen when a find operation is in progress. In some cases a find operation will be in progress when doing map/unmap operations, and the find operation will do a NULL pointer dereference. An example of the stack trace of such NULL dereference is shown below: ``` Unable to handle kernel access to user memory without uaccess routines at virtual address 0000000000000010 [<ffffffff01e989d4>] drm_gpuva_find+0x28/0x6c [drm_gpuvm] [<ffffffff01ed3a40>] pvr_vm_unmap+0x34/0x68 [powervr] [<ffffffff01ec69da>] pvr_ioctl_vm_unmap+0x2e/0x50 [powervr] [<ffffffff8080ce0a>] drm_ioctl_kernel+0x8e/0xdc [<ffffffff8080d016>] drm_ioctl+0x1be/0x3e0 [<ffffffff802bec3e>] __riscv_sys_ioctl+0xba/0xc4 [<ffffffff80d858b2>] do_trap_ecall_u+0x23e/0x3f4 [<ffffffff80d92288>] handle_exception+0x168/0x174 ``` As all occurences of drm_gpuva_find*() are already guarded by vm_ctx->lock, make pvr_vm_map() to acquire this lock to prevent disturbing any find operation. This fixes the NULL deference problem in drm_gpuva_find*().
