CVE-2025-71307
Published: May 27, 2026· Updated: May 27, 2026
Official Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panthor: Fix NULL pointer dereference on panthor_fw_unplug
This patch removes the MCU halt and wait for halt procedures during
panthor_fw_unplug() as the MCU can be in a variety of states or the FW
may not even be loaded/initialized at all, the latter of which can lead
to a NULL pointer dereference.
It should be safe on unplug to just disable the MCU without waiting for
it to halt as it may not be able to.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2025-71307 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
