CVE-2025-71314
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panthor: Recover from panthor_gpu_flush_caches() failures We have seen a few cases where the whole memory subsystem is blocked and flush operations never complete. When that happens, we want to: - schedule a reset, so we can recover from this situation - in the reset path, we need to reset the pending_reqs so we can send new commands after the reset - if more panthor_gpu_flush_caches() operations are queued after the timeout, we skip them and return -EIO directly to avoid needless waits (the memory block won't miraculously work again) Note that we drop the WARN_ON()s because these hangs can be triggered with buggy GPU jobs created by the UMD, and there's no way we can prevent it. We do keep the error messages though. v2: - New patch v3: - Collect R-b - Explicitly mention the fact we dropped the WARN_ON()s in the commit message v4: - No changes

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

Linux Kernel 6.12.75, 6.18.14, or 6.19.4 (depending on which branch is in use)
- Identify the current running kernel version using 'uname -r'
- Determine which kernel branch is in use (6.10-6.12.x, 6.13-6.18.x, or 6.19.x)
- Upgrade the kernel to the appropriate fixed version: for 6.10-6.12.x branch upgrade to 6.12.75 or later; for 6.13-6.18.x branch upgrade to 6.18.14 or later; for 6.19.x branch upgrade to 6.19.4 or later
- Update bootloader configuration if necessary (e.g., update-grub for GRUB)
- Reboot the system to load the fixed kernel
- Verify the new kernel is running with 'uname -r'
