CVE-2026-68267

What the bug is

Unconditionally whitelisting OA registers is a security violation. Set RING_FORCE_TO_NONPRIV_DENY 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)

Where it lives

The fix touches these files. If the subsystem is one you do not use, the practical exposure is lower, though the package is still the vulnerable one.

drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_reg_whitelist.c

What this is

INTEL DRM XE DRIVER (Lunar Lake and newer)MAINTAINERS section matched on drivers/gpu/drm/xe/ · intel-xe@lists.freedesktop.org · Supported

Kernel module

xe

Check it on the machine

grep -w CONFIG_DRM_XE /boot/config-$(uname -r)

Reads the booted kernel's own configuration, on the machine and nowhere else. =y is built in, =m is a module, and an is not set line means the code is not there.

lsmod | grep -w xe

Prints a line if that module is loaded right now, and nothing if it is not. One that is not loaded can still be loaded later by anything that needs it.

Show whether Debian builds this, per release

Debian builds this, but not on every flavour. At least one release below builds the code on some of its kernel flavours and not on others, so the answer depends on the architecture and flavour installed. The build rule could not be established for 1 release, so nothing is claimed about those.

?

not established - no Makefile entry for the affected file

M

a module where it is built at all; some flavours do not build it

Where a release above reads "not established", no build rule for the affected file was found in that release's kernel tree. That is a gap in this lookup, not a finding that the code is absent.

Build switch

CONFIG_DRM_XE

From the configuration Debian publishes for every kernel flavour it builds. It covers only the architectures Debian ships a linux-config package for, and nothing about a kernel you built yourself. Debian's own status above stays authoritative about the source package.MAINTAINERS kbuild Makefiles Debian linux-config packages
