CVE-2026-68233
Description
A flaw was found in the drm/vc4 component of the Linux kernel. A logic error in the BO cache timer shutdown process allows the timer to be rearmed even after it has been destroyed. This can lead to work being queued again after teardown, potentially causing system instability or a denial of service (DoS) due to improper resource management.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
