About this tag
The Exynos DRM tag covers security vulnerabilities and kernel-level fixes in the Exynos Direct Rendering Manager driver for Linux, which is used in Samsung Exynos-based hardware. Recent discussions include CVE-2026-45958, a bug where the VIDI ioctl directly dereferenced a user-supplied EDID pointer instead of copying it to kernel memory, and CVE-2026-23227, a locking context issue that could cause memory races. Additionally, CVE-2025-38467 affects the exynos7_drm_decon IRQ handling path and was patched in Azure Linux, Microsoft's managed Linux distribution. These threads highlight the importance of proper kernel/user-space boundaries, concurrency protection, and the relevance of obscure drivers as attack surfaces in enterprise and embedded environments.

    CVE-2026-45958: Exynos DRM VIDI ioctl Bug Dereferences User EDID Pointer

    Linux kernel maintainers assigned CVE-2026-45958 on May 27, 2026, to a flaw in the Exynos DRM VIDI driver where vidi_connection_ioctl() directly dereferenced a user-supplied EDID pointer instead of first copying it into kernel memory. The bug is narrow, hardware-specific, and still awaiting NVD...

    Exynos DRM VIDI Fix (CVE-2026-23227): Locking Context to Prevent Memory Races

    The CVE page for CVE-2026-23227 is currently unavailable, so the only reliable starting point is the upstream kernel fix description: “drm/exynos: vidi: use ctx->lock to protect struct vidi_context member variables related to memory alloc/free.” That wording points to a concurrency bug in the...

    Azure Linux Exynos DRM CVE-2025-38467 Kernel Patch and CSAF VEX

    Microsoft’s own advisory for CVE-2025-38467 confirms that the vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel’s Exynos DRM driver — specifically the exynos7_drm_decon IRQ handling path — and that Azure Linux (Microsoft’s managed Linux distribution and kernel builds for Azure) is explicitly listed as a...
