CVE-2025-71314
Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's drm/panthor component. Buggy GPU jobs created by a User Mode Driver (UMD) can lead to a blockage in the memory subsystem. This prevents flush operations from completing, resulting in system hangs. A local attacker could exploit this to cause a Denial of Service (DoS), requiring a system reset to recover.
Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Resource Consumption (CPU); DoS: Resource Consumption (Memory); DoS: Resource Consumption (Other)
When allocating resources without limits, an attacker could prevent other systems, applications, or processes from accessing the same type of resource. It can be easy for an attacker to consume many resources by rapidly making many requests or causing larger resources to be used than is needed.
