CVE-2025-40152
- Published: 2025-11-12T11:15:45.143
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: Fix bootup splat with separate_gpu_drm modparam
The drm_gem_for_each_gpuvm_bo() call from lookup_vma() accesses
drm_gem_obj.gpuva.list, which is not initialized when the drm driver
does not support DRIVER_GEM_GPUVA feature. Enable it for msm_kms
drm driver to fix the splat seen when msm.separate_gpu_drm=1 modparam
is set:
