From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/xe/vm: Fix BO prefetch with CONSULT_MEM_ADVISE_PREF_LOC

When prefetch region is DRM_XE_CONSULT_MEM_ADVISE_PREF_LOC for a BO VMA,
the code used it as an index into region_to_mem_type[], causing an
out-of-bounds access since the value is -1.

Resolve the preferred location for BO VMAs directly: local VRAM on dGFX
(using the BO's tile placement) or system memory on iGPU.

Discovered using AI-assisted static analysis confirmed by Intel Product
Security.

v2:
-Fix null dereference

(cherry picked from commit d9a4906ac03be9f6ed3f3b45c56c866b867fd75b)

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-68265 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
