Technical description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/v3d: Serialize the scheduler timeout handlers
V3D exposes several independent hardware queues (BIN, RENDER, TFU and
CSD) but has only a single, global reset. A timeout on any one queue
therefore has to stop, reset and restart the schedulers of every other
queue as well. That makes concurrent timeout handlers unsafe.
`reset_lock` was never able to make them safe, as a driver-side lock can
only cover the driver's &drm_sched_backend_ops.timedout_job callback.
The scheduler handles the timed out job and its pending list around that
callback, outside of the driver's control, so a global reset triggered
by one queue can still interfere with another queue that is in the
middle of handling a timeout of its own.
Consequently, if a reset happens in the CSD queue while a CL-intensive
application is running, the global reset stops and restarts the CL
queue's scheduler while that queue is handling a timeout of its own. As

How can CyberStrike help with CVE-2026-74638?
CyberStrike is an open-source, AI-augmented pentesting engine. Rather than flag a version number, it tests whether an issue like CVE-2026-74638 is actually reachable in your own applications and APIs, then verifies each finding before reporting it. That tells you if the weakness is a real, exploitable risk in your environment or a false positive you can safely deprioritize.
