Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.12.74/6.18.13/6.19.3. This affects the function panthor_gpu_flush_caches of the component panthor. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a information exposure vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-209. The product generates an error message that includes sensitive information about its environment, users, or associated data. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panthor: Recover from panthor_gpu_flush_caches() failures We have seen a few cases where the whole memory subsystem is blocked and flush operations never complete. When that happens, we want to: - schedule a reset, so we can recover from this situation - in the reset path, we need to reset the pending_reqs so we can send new commands after the reset - if more panthor_gpu_flush_caches() operations are queued after the timeout, we skip them and return -EIO directly to avoid needless waits (the memory block won't miraculously work again) Note that we drop the WARN_ON()s because these hangs can be triggered with buggy GPU jobs created by the UMD, and there's no way we can prevent it. We do keep the error messages though. v2: - New patch v3: - Collect R-b - Explicitly mention the fact we dropped the WARN_ON()s in the commit message v4: - No changes

The advisory is shared at git.kernel.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2025-71314 since 05/27/2026. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1592 for this issue.
