CVE-2025-68749
Description
A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's Intel VPU (ivpu) accelerator driver. When unbinding buffer objects (BOs), ivpu_gem_bo_free() can remove a BO from the list before it is fully unmapped. This race causes file_priv_unbind() to trigger a 'Memory manager not clean during takedown' warning in drm_mm_takedown() during context teardown.
Statement
This flaw affects systems with Intel VPU hardware using the ivpu accelerator driver. The issue manifests as a warning during context teardown due to improper synchronization between BO removal and unmapping operations. While this causes a kernel warning, it does not result in a crash or security compromise.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
