CVE-2026-68233drm/vc4: Shut down BO cache timer before teardown
Unrated
In plain English
A security flaw in Linux from Linux. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.2% (higher than 7% of all known vulnerabilities). Fixed versions are available - upgrade the affected package.
Official description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/vc4: Shut down BO cache timer before teardown The BO cache timer callback schedules time_work, and time_work can rearm the timer through vc4_bo_cache_free_old(). vc4_bo_cache_destroy() deletes the timer and then cancels the work, which does not break that cycle: the work being cancelled can rearm the timer, and the timer then queues work again after teardown. Use timer_shutdown_sync() instead, so the timer cannot be rearmed and the cycle ends with cancel_work_sync().
