CVE-2025-68189 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm: Fix GEM free for imported dma-bufs Imported dma-bufs also have obj->resv != &obj->_resv. So we should check both this condition in addition to flags for handling the _NO_SHARE case.
