Overview

CVE-2025-40011 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 20, 2025.

Technical description

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

drm/gma500: Fix null dereference in hdmi teardown

pci_set_drvdata sets the value of pdev->driver_data to NULL,

after which the driver_data obtained from the same dev is

dereferenced in oaktrail_hdmi_i2c_exit, and the i2c_dev is

extracted from it. To prevent this, swap these calls.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svacer.
