Overview

CVE-2026-72388 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on August 15, 2026.

Technical description

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

drm/panthor: Always use the IRQ-safe variant when acquiring the fence lock

Since dma_fence objects can be shared with other subsystems, they may be

accessed from hardirq context in those drivers, and we have to take

that into account by also using the IRQ-safe variant when acquiring

the lock.

While at it, switch to the guard model.
