About this tag
The amd gpu tag on WindowsForum.com covers Linux kernel security updates and stability fixes for the AMDGPU driver, as detailed in recent CVE records. These threads discuss vulnerabilities such as queue-ownership collisions, driver reload failures, PASID race conditions, division-by-zero flaws in H.264 decoding, and kernel panics from BUG_ON assertions in GFX11, GFX12, and SDMA code. The content clarifies that these issues affect Linux systems using the in-kernel amdgpu driver, not native Windows AMD Radeon drivers or standard WSL GPU acceleration. Administrators are advised to update to patched kernel versions like 6.12.101, 6.18.42, or 7.1.6 to address these specific AMDGPU problems.

    CVE-2026-68103: Linux 7.1.6 Fixes AMDGPU UserQ Collision

    CVE-2026-68103 fixes a queue-ownership flaw in Linux’s amdgpu driver that could let a newly created user queue overwrite another queue’s doorbell mapping. The immediate failure mode is not a Windows desktop crash or an AMD Radeon driver issue on native Windows: it is incorrect fence-interrupt...

    CVE-2026-68102: Linux AMDGPU Reload Failure Fixed

    CVE-2026-68102 fixes an AMDGPU driver teardown flaw that can make a later driver reload fail after a normal unload, leaving Linux unable to rediscover the GPU because the same aperture range is still registered with an incompatible CPU memory-cache attribute. The practical symptom is not a...

    CVE-2026-68245: Update Linux AMDGPU for PASID Race Fix

    CVE-2026-68245 fixes a race in the Linux kernel’s AMDGPU virtual-memory code that can dereference a virtual-machine pointer after the lock protecting its PASID lookup has been released. The immediate action for Linux systems using the in-kernel amdgpu driver is to take the vendor kernel update...

    CVE-2026-68106 Affects Linux AMDGPU, Not Standard WSL

    CVE-2026-68106 closes a division-by-zero flaw in the Linux amdgpu driver’s UVD H.264 decode path, but the immediate Windows takeaway is narrower than the CVE label suggests: this is not a Windows AMD display-driver vulnerability, and ordinary WSL GPU acceleration does not normally drive the...

    CVE-2026-68246: Update Linux Kernels to Prevent AMDGPU Panics

    CVE-2026-68246 closes a Linux AMDGPU kernel-panic path in the GFX11 driver by changing several fatal BUG_ON() assertions to WARN_ON() checks. For administrators running Linux directly on AMD RDNA 3-class systems—or exposing a physical AMD GPU to a Linux guest through passthrough—the immediate...

    CVE-2026-68113 Changes AMDGPU GFX12 Panics to Warnings

    CVE-2026-68113 fixes a kernel-crash path in Linux’s AMDGPU driver for GFX12.0 hardware, but the newly published record does not establish a remotely exploitable flaw or even a confirmed local privilege boundary. What it documents is narrower and still important for Linux workstations, GPU...

    CVE-2026-68109: AMDGPU Kernel Panics Replaced With Warnings

    CVE-2026-68109 fixes a Linux AMDGPU failure mode in which the sdma_v7_1 driver could deliberately take down the entire kernel after detecting an unexpected fence-memory alignment condition. The patch replaces two fatal BUG_ON() assertions with WARN_ON() calls in...

    CVE-2026-68364: Linux 7.1.6 Fixes AMDGPU Suspend Hangs

    Linux kernel 7.1.6 and later on the 7.1 stable branch contain a fix for CVE-2026-68364, an AMDGPU display-driver deadlock that can leave a machine frozen during suspend, resume, shutdown, or reboot when an Idle State Manager worker is active. The failure was observed while video was playing, but...

    CVE-2026-68250 Changes Linux AMDGPU Panics to Warnings

    CVE-2026-68250 fixes a Linux AMDGPU driver condition that could deliberately crash the entire kernel when the SDMA 5.2 engine was asked to emit a fence using a misaligned GPU address. The code change is tiny—two BUG_ON() assertions become WARN_ON() checks in...

    CVE-2026-68112 Fixes Linux AMDGPU Kernel Panic Path

    CVE-2026-68112 closes a kernel-panic path in Linux’s AMDGPU driver for the GFX 9.4.3 graphics IP block, but the practical response is narrower than the new CVE entry initially suggests: update Linux systems that load amdgpu, especially GPU compute and virtualization hosts, to a fixed stable...

    CVE-2026-68115 Turns AMDGPU GFX10 Kernel Crashes Into Warnings

    CVE-2026-68115 fixes a Linux AMDGPU driver path that could deliberately stop the kernel when internal GFX10 command-submission checks detected misaligned GPU addresses or an unsupported fence flag. The patch is already in the Linux stable trees identified by the kernel project, but its CVE...

    CVE-2026-68234 AMDGPU Memory Pin Leak Fixed in Linux

    CVE-2026-68234 fixes an AMDGPU kernel-memory lifecycle bug that can leave GPU buffer objects permanently pinned after repeated firmware reload paths, gradually preventing the Linux graphics memory manager from moving, swapping, or evicting those allocations. The practical impact is resource...

    CVE-2026-68111 Fix Replaces Fatal AMDGPU GFX9 Crashes

    CVE-2026-68111 is a Linux kernel availability fix for AMD’s GFX9 graphics driver: it removes five BUG_ON() crash assertions in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/gfx_v9_0.c and replaces them with WARN_ON(). For administrators, the immediate action is to move affected AMDGPU systems to Linux 6.6.148...

    CVE-2026-68110 Changes AMDGPU Kernel Panic to Warning

    CVE-2026-68110 fixes a kernel-crash condition in the Linux AMDGPU driver’s SDMA 4.4.2 path, with patched stable kernels now identified as Linux 6.6.148, 6.12.101, 6.18.42, and 7.1.6. The immediate action for Linux administrators running an affected AMD GPU stack is to take their distribution’s...

    CVE-2026-68249: Patch AMDGPU SDMA Kernel Crash Flaw

    CVE-2026-68249 is a newly published Linux kernel availability flaw in AMDGPU’s SDMA 5.0 code. Systems using the affected amdgpu driver should move to a kernel carrying the fix: Linux 6.6.148, 6.12.101, 6.18.42, 7.1.6, or Linux 7.2-rc2 and later. The practical issue is narrow but real: an...

    CVE-2026-68272: Patch Linux AMDGPU Bounds Check Flaw

    CVE-2026-68272 covers a missing bounds check in the Linux kernel’s AMDGPU command-submission path: an unprivileged client able to submit GPU work could provide a too-small CP_GFX_SHADOW data chunk, after which the driver would treat that allocation as a full structure. The upstream fix is...

    CVE-2026-68238: Windows and Default WSL 2 Not Affected

    CVE-2026-68238 is a newly published Linux-kernel vulnerability in the AMDGPU driver, but it is not a Windows graphics-driver flaw and it does not presently call for a Windows Update response. The issue is a reference leak while Linux reads an AMD system’s ACPI VFCT table to obtain a GPU VBIOS...

    CVE-2026-68252 AMDGPU Fix Replaces Kernel Panics

    CVE-2026-68252 has been published for the Linux AMDGPU driver’s SDMA 7.0 path, but the immediate operational takeaway is narrower than the CVE title suggests: the upstream change converts two fatal kernel assertions into warnings so a bad fence address no longer takes down the entire Linux...

    CVE-2026-68256: Linux AMDGPU Leak Fix, Windows Unaffected

    CVE-2026-68256 fixes a reference-count leak in the Linux AMDGPU display driver when a USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode connection times out during display detection. The immediate action is straightforward for Linux users with AMD graphics: install the kernel update supplied by your distribution once...
