UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68267: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/rtp: Add RINGFORCETONONPRIVDENY to OA whitelists Unconditionally whitelisting OA registers is a security violation. Set RINGFORCETONONPRIVDENY bit in OA nonpriv slots, so that OA registers don't get whitelisted by default after probe, gt reset, resume and engine reset. (cherry picked from commit 90511bdcfda97211c01f1d945d4ea616578d8fca)

Set the RING_FORCE_TO_NONPRIV_DENY bit in OA nonpriv slots so OA registers are not whitelisted by default after probe, GT reset, resume, or engine reset.
Linux kernel drm/xe/rtp OA whitelists RING_FORCE_TO_NONPRIV_DENY = set

Frequently Asked Questions
Which systems are exposed to this issue?
The issue affects the listed Ubuntu Linux kernel packages that include the DRM/Xe driver. Exposure is relevant where Intel Xe graphics OA registers are present and accessible through the affected driver.
When can the insecure OA register whitelisting occur?
OA registers can become whitelisted by default after driver probe, GT reset, system resume, or an engine reset. The fix sets RING_FORCE_TO_NONPRIV_DENY in OA nonprivileged slots to prevent that default whitelisting.
What does an attacker need to exploit this?
The available information identifies a violation involving nonprivileged OA register whitelisting, but does not specify the required local access level, attack interface, or impact beyond the unintended register access.
