CVE-2026-68305

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/vf: Add drm_dev guards when detaching CCS read/write buffers CCS read/write buffers are freed during BO destruction. In some cases, BOs may be destroyed after the device is unbound but while the DRM structure remains valid, leading to NULL pointer dereferences when accessing device resources.

Affected products and versions

NVD has not supplied machine-readable vulnerable CPE product/version entries for this CVE. This is an information gap, not proof that no products are affected. Check the vendor advisory references below.

Remediation & validation

  1. Identify exposure by comparing the affected product and version ranges with your asset inventory, SBOM and externally exposed services.
  2. Review the linked vendor security advisory or patch notes. Upgrade to a vendor-confirmed fixed release; do not infer a fixed version from the CVE description.
  3. Until patched, consider restricting network access or disabling the affected feature where operationally safe. These are temporary controls, not a substitute for a vendor fix.
  4. Validate the remediation with a version check and vulnerability rescan, then retain change evidence.

No fixed version is displayed unless it is explicitly established by a vendor advisory. Follow the vendor's release notes for exact product and branch applicability.
