CVE-2025-68802
Overview
CVE-2025-68802 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on January 13, 2026.
Technical Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: Limit num_syncs to prevent oversized allocations
The exec and vm_bind ioctl allow userspace to specify an arbitrary
num_syncs value. Without bounds checking, a very large num_syncs
can force an excessively large allocation, leading to kernel warnings
from the page allocator as below.
Introduce DRM_XE_MAX_SYNCS (set to 1024) and reject any request
exceeding this limit.
