Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 7.2.5 and classified as very critical. This issue affects the function v3d_submit_lock_reservations of the component v3d. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a race condition vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-362. The product contains a code sequence that can run concurrently with other code, and the code sequence requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence that is operating concurrently. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/v3d: Associate BOs with every job that accesses them A submission can expand into a chain of jobs (e.g. bin + render + cache clean). Implicit synchronization in v3d_submit_lock_reservations() is gated on each job's bo[], but the BO list was only ever attached to the last job of the chain. When that last job is a trailing CACHE_CLEAN job, the job that actually consumes the BOs (that is, a RENDER or CSD job) was left with bo_count == 0 and picked up no implicit dependencies. It could therefore be dispatched to the hardware and read a BO while another context was still writing it, leading to data corruption. Attach the BOs to the job that consumes them, so (1) it acquires the correct implicit dependencies during reservation locking and (2) they are kept mapped until the end of the submission. Give it references to all consuming job's BOs through v3d_job_reference_bos() instead of looking the handles up a second time; that avoids a redundant lookup and guarantees both jobs reference the exact same objects. As the CACHE_CLEAN job now carries a BO array as well, add a per-job `has_implicit_dep` flag so that only the consuming jobs take implicit dependencies. The CACHE_CLEAN job (a global flush) and the BIN job (binning waiting on another context is not a realistic scenario) are excluded.

The advisory is shared at git.kernel.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2026-93047 since 09/17/2026. The exploitation is known to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 09/17/2026).

Upgrading to version 7.2.6 or 7.3-rc1 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch 7244dd0f12629484a1936dc5c5837670d8d9f80c/fa98563ab00dbe62fcedfef6bdd34ded7a860d9f is able to eliminate this problem. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.
