Integer overflow in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-68257

Vulnerability identifier: #VU142050

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2026-68257

CWE-ID: CWE-190

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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

The vulnerability exists due to an integer overflow in drm/amdkfd queue buffer handling in kfd_queue_acquire_buffers() and kfd_queue_release_buffers() when calculating the CWSR save area size. A local user can provide crafted queue properties with large ctx_save_restore_area_size values to cause a denial of service.

The issue can result in an undersized CWSR save area that firmware later overruns.
