Doc Text:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's VideoCore IV (vc4) graphics driver. This vulnerability can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) due to improper cleanup during device teardown. Active timers and queued background tasks are not stopped before device memory structures are released. A local user could exploit this condition during device unbinding to trigger invalid memory access, causing the system to crash.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-26 15:06:16 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/vc4: drain the hangcheck timer and works on V3D unbind

Nothing stops the hangcheck timer that submitted jobs arm, or the
job_done_work that the render-done interrupt queues, at teardown:
vc4_irq_disable() cancels only overflow_mem_work, and vc4_gem_destroy()
runs from the drm-managed release, after vc4_v3d_unbind() has already
uninstalled the V3D interrupt and cleared vc4->v3d. A timer still armed
by then reads V3D registers through the NULL vc4->v3d pointer, and the
late callbacks run on the vc4_dev embedding them after it has been
freed.

Drain them in vc4_v3d_unbind(): shut the timer down and cancel
reset_work before the interrupt is taken down, because its
vc4_irq_reset() re-enables it, then flush job_done_work so that
completions queued at teardown still release their jobs.

This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
