Answer in brief
CVE-2026-68272 records a Unknown severity vulnerability in drm/amdgpu: validate CP_GFX_SHADOW chunk size in CS pass1. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps Linux/Linux (generic), Linux/Linux (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
A CVSS score is not reported in the current record. The current sources do not mark it as known exploited. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: validate CP_GFX_SHADOW chunk size in CS pass1 Add a minimum-length check for the AMDGPU_CHUNK_ID_CP_GFX_SHADOW chunk in amdgpu_cs_pass1(), matching the gate already present for the IB, FENCE and BO_HANDLES chunk types. The CP_GFX_SHADOW case previously shared a bare break with the dependency and syncobj chunk types, which do not dereference a fixed-size struct. When userspace submits this chunk with length_dw == 0, vmemdup_array_user() is called with size 0 and returns ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which passes the IS_ERR() check. amdgpu_cs_p2_shadow() then dereferences chunk->kdata as a struct drm_amdgpu_cs_chunk_cp_gfx_shadow (reading shadow->flags), faulting on the ZERO_SIZE_PTR and causing a NULL-pointer dereference. This is reachable by an unprivileged process in the render group. Reject undersized chunks with -EINVAL during pass1 so the bad submission is rejected before pass2 ever dereferences the data. (cherry picked from commit 7f61b2eef7415eccdb40850aca0de94211948657)
