UBUNTU-CVE-2026-68447: High severity ubuntu/linux vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdkfd: clamp v9 CRIU control stack checkpoint copy to BO size CRIU checkpoint copies the MQD control stack using cphqdcntlstacksize from hardware without bounding it to the allocated BO region. If the HW field is larger than the queue's control stack allocation, memcpy reads past the BO into adjacent GTT memory and can leak kernel data to userspace. Store the page-aligned control stack BO size in mqdmanager and clamp checkpoint copies and reported checkpoint sizes to min(cphqdcntlstacksize, mm->ctlstacksize). Apply the same bound for multi-XCC v9.4.3 checkpoint layout. (cherry picked from commit 6c2abd0ec09e86c6323010673766f76050e28aa3)

Frequently Asked Questions
What level of access does an attacker need to exploit this issue?
The vulnerability is locally exploitable with high privileges. It requires no user interaction and has low attack complexity according to the supplied severity vector.
Which systems are most directly exposed to the described leak?
The affected code path is the AMD KFD CRIU checkpoint flow, where a queue control-stack copy can read beyond its allocated buffer object and expose adjacent GTT memory to userspace. The listed Ubuntu kernel variants are linux, linux-fips, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-gcp, and their AWS and Azure FIPS variants.
