Overview

CVE-2025-40152 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on November 12, 2025.

Technical description

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:
