Summary

In the Linux kernel, the custom vblank timer in the DRM vkms driver was replaced with the DRM implementation. The corresponding hrtimer in struct vkms_output was removed, and timeout code is now called via DRM.

Risk Assessment

No direct security risk – this is a refactoring change, but it may affect display stability in environments using vkms.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing this fix to avoid potential vblank synchronization issues.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/vkms: Convert to DRM's vblank timer Replace vkms' vblank timer with the DRM implementation. The DRM code is identical in concept, but differs in implementation. Vblank timers are covered in vblank helpers and initializer macros, so remove the corresponding hrtimer in struct vkms_output. The vblank timer calls vkms' custom timeout code via handle_vblank_timeout in struct drm_crtc_helper_funcs.
