CVE-2026-74453
Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's drm/vc4 component. The graphics driver's binner buffer object (BO) reuses memory slots without properly clearing the Tile State Data Array (TSDA). This allows the hardware to process stale data from previous jobs, leading to the creation of invalid command streams and ultimately a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) hang, resulting in a denial of service.
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.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Confidentiality
Technical Impact: Read Memory; Read Application Data
When reusing a resource such as memory or a program variable, the original contents of that resource may not be cleared before it is sent to an untrusted party.
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart
The uninitialized resource may contain values that cause program flow to change in ways that the programmer did not intend.
