Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Double free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68236)

CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free

CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a double free in dm_update_crtc_state() in the AMD display manager when handling error paths after releasing new_stream on the skip_modeset path. A local user can trigger a later error condition after the initial release to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because a dangling pointer may be released again after a color management failure reaches the fail label.
