Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition in Linux kernel - CVE-2026-68107

Vulnerability identifier: #VU142217

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-2026-68107

CWE-ID: CWE-367

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 a time-of-check time-of-use race condition in the amdgpu vcn_v4_0 command submission handling in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/vcn_v4_0.c when processing an indirect buffer. A local user can modify the indirect buffer between reads to cause a denial of service.

The issue affects the VCN4 encoding parameter parsing path.
