CVE-2026-99095 PUBLISHED

drm/vc4: drain the hangcheck timer and works on V3D unbind

Assigner: Linux
Reserved: 25.09.2026 Published: 26.10.2026 Updated: 26.10.2026

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/vc4: drain the hangcheck timer and works on V3D unbind

Nothing stops the hangcheck timer that submitted jobs arm, or the job_done_work that the render-done interrupt queues, at teardown: vc4_irq_disable() cancels only overflow_mem_work, and vc4_gem_destroy() runs from the drm-managed release, after vc4_v3d_unbind() has already uninstalled the V3D interrupt and cleared vc4->v3d. A timer still armed by then reads V3D registers through the NULL vc4->v3d pointer, and the late callbacks run on the vc4_dev embedding them after it has been freed.

Drain them in vc4_v3d_unbind(): shut the timer down and cancel reset_work before the interrupt is taken down, because its vc4_irq_reset() re-enables it, then flush job_done_work so that completions queued at teardown still release their jobs.

This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.
