Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.1.128/6.6.78/6.12.15/6.13.3. It has been rated as problematic. Affected by this issue is an unknown code of the component v3d. The impact remains unknown. CVE summarizes:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/v3d: Stop active perfmon if it is being destroyed If the active performance monitor (`v3d->active_perfmon`) is being destroyed, stop it first. Currently, the active perfmon is not stopped during destruction, leaving the `v3d->active_perfmon` pointer stale. This can lead to undefined behavior and instability. This patch ensures that the active perfmon is stopped before being destroyed, aligning with the behavior introduced in commit 7d1fd3638ee3 ("drm/v3d: Stop the active perfmon before being destroyed").

The advisory is available at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2024-58086 since 03/06/2025. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not available.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 232251 (Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2024-58086), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.

Upgrading to version 6.1.129, 6.6.79, 6.12.16, 6.13.4 or 6.14-rc1 eliminates this vulnerability.
