About this tag
The DRM scheduler (drm/sched) is a component of the Linux kernel responsible for managing GPU command submission and synchronization. Recent discussions on WindowsForum.com highlight two critical vulnerabilities: CVE-2025-40329, a deadlock in fence callback handling that can hang the kernel, and CVE-2025-40096, a double-free memory defect triggered by failed dependency handling. These issues affect systems using DRM scheduler code, including desktop GPUs, GPU-accelerated VMs, and Azure Linux. Patches are available, and operators should verify exposure across products like WSL and Marketplace images. The tag covers kernel-level GPU scheduling, security fixes, and enterprise deployment considerations.
