Summary

In the Linux kernel's Panthor DRM driver, a locking issue was found with dma_fence objects. Since these objects can be shared with other subsystems and accessed from hardirq context, the IRQ-safe variant must be used when acquiring the lock.

Risk Assessment

Improper locking could lead to deadlocks or races, potentially causing system crashes or incorrect graphics behavior.

Recommendation

Install an updated Linux kernel with the fix that uses the IRQ-safe variant when acquiring the fence lock and switches to the guard model.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panthor: Always use the IRQ-safe variant when acquiring the fence lock Since dma_fence objects can be shared with other subsystems, they may be accessed from hardirq context in those drivers, and we have to take that into account by also using the IRQ-safe variant when acquiring the lock. While at it, switch to the guard model.
