UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68324: Medium severity ubuntu/linux-hwe-edge vulnerability

Q: Which Ubuntu kernel packages are listed as affected?

The listed packages are ubuntu/linux, ubuntu/linux-realtime, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-gcp, ubuntu/linux-azure-fde, ubuntu/linux-gke, ubuntu/linux-riscv, and ubuntu/linux-gkeop.

Q: What condition causes the out-of-bounds write?

The write occurs when dmar_latency_disable() is called with a latency statistic type greater than 0. The function clears the entire latency-statistics array starting at that selected entry, causing the memset to extend beyond the allocated array.

Q: What is the impact of the flawed memory operation?

It can corrupt memory adjacent to the allocated latency-statistics array. The supplied information does not state exploit prerequisites, affected default configurations, or temporary mitigations.

Published Aug 10, 2026

Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/intel: Fix out-of-bounds memset in dmarlatencydisable() dmarlatencydisable() intends to zero out only the single latencystatistic entry for the given type, but the memset size was computed as sizeof(lstat) DMARLATENCYNUM, which clears the entire array starting from &lstat[type]. When type > 0, this writes beyond the end of the allocated array, corrupting adjacent memory. Fix by using sizeof(lstat) to clear only the target entry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Ubuntu kernel packages are listed as affected?

The listed packages are ubuntu/linux, ubuntu/linux-realtime, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-gcp, ubuntu/linux-azure-fde, ubuntu/linux-gke, ubuntu/linux-riscv, and ubuntu/linux-gkeop.

What condition causes the out-of-bounds write?

The write occurs when dmar_latency_disable() is called with a latency statistic type greater than 0. The function clears the entire latency-statistics array starting at that selected entry, causing the memset to extend beyond the allocated array.

What is the impact of the flawed memory operation?

It can corrupt memory adjacent to the allocated latency-statistics array. The supplied information does not state exploit prerequisites, affected default configurations, or temporary mitigations.
