Overview

CVE-2025-39896 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 1, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

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

accel/ivpu: Prevent recovery work from being queued during device removal

Use disable_work_sync() instead of cancel_work_sync() in ivpu_dev_fini()

to ensure that no new recovery work items can be queued after device

removal has started. Previously, recovery work could be scheduled even

after canceling existing work, potentially leading to use-after-free

bugs if recovery accessed freed resources.

Rename ivpu_pm_cancel_recovery() to ivpu_pm_disable_recovery() to better

reflect its new behavior.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
