v3d driver

About this tag
The v3d driver is a Linux kernel DRM component for Broadcom VideoCore GPUs, commonly found on Raspberry Pi and similar single-board computers. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover a critical security fix, CVE-2025-38371, which addresses a race condition in the v3d driver. The vulnerability could cause GPU hangs and kernel NULL-pointer dereferences during GPU resets if interrupts are not properly disabled. The fix ensures interrupts are disabled and handlers complete before resetting the GPU. This patch has been backported to stable kernel trees. Users running affected platforms should update their kernel to avoid system crashes.

  1. CVE-2025-38371: Linux v3d interrupt race fix in kernel

    A critical, low‑level kernel fix landed in mid‑2025 that patches a subtle race in the Linux DRM v3d driver: before resetting the GPU the driver must disable interrupts and ensure any in‑flight interrupt handlers have completed. The vulnerability, cataloged as CVE‑2025‑38371, describes a scenario...
