About this tag
The cve 2026 68246 tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about a specific Linux kernel vulnerability affecting AMDGPU drivers, particularly on AMD RDNA 3-class systems. The issue involves kernel panics triggered by fatal BUG_ON assertions in the GFX11 driver, which were changed to WARN_ON checks in the fix. Administrators running Linux directly on affected hardware or using GPU passthrough to Linux guests need to update to patched kernel versions such as 6.6.148, 6.12.101, 6.18.42, 7.1.6, or newer mainline code. The NVD published the record on August 10, 2026, with kernel.org as the source, and the fix was included in Alex Deucher's July 2 AMDGPU pull request for Linux 7.2.

    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...
