UBUNTU-CVE-2025-38371: Null Pointer Dereference

Q: Who is realistically exposed to this issue?

Exposure is limited to systems using the affected Ubuntu kernel packages and the V3D GPU driver. The listed affected packages include Ubuntu linux-aws-fips, linux-azure-fips, linux-fips, linux-gcp-fips, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-azure-fde, and linux-realtime.

Q: What level of access does an attacker need?

The severity vector indicates local access and low privileges are required, with no user interaction required. The vector also indicates that exploitation depends on additional pre-existing conditions.

Q: What is the expected security impact?

The reported outcome is a GPU hang and a kernel NULL pointer dereference during interrupt handling, resulting in a high availability impact. The severity vector reports no confidentiality or integrity impact.

Q: How can I determine whether a system may be affected?

Check whether the system is running one of the listed Ubuntu kernel packages and uses the V3D driver. The failure trace identifies the v3d kernel module as involved.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/v3d: Disable interrupts before resetting the GPU Currently, an interrupt can be triggered during a GPU reset, which can lead to GPU hangs and NULL pointer dereference in an interrupt context as shown in the following trace: [ 314.035040] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000000c0 [ 314.043822] Mem abort info: [ 314.046606] ESR = 0x0000000096000005 [ 314.050347] EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits [ 314.055651] SET = 0, FnV = 0 [ 314.058695] EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 [ 314.061826] FSC = 0x05: level 1 translation fault [ 314.066694] Data abort info: [ 314.069564] ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000005, ISS2 = 0x00000000 [ 314.075039] CM = 0, WnR = 0, TnD = 0, TagAccess = 0 [ 314.080080] GCS = 0, Overlay = 0, DirtyBit = 0, Xs = 0 [ 314.085382] user pgtable: 4k pages, 39-bit VAs, pgdp=0000000102728000 [ 314.091814] [00000000000000c0] pgd=0000000000000000, p4d=0000000000000000, pud=0000000000000000 [ 314.100511] Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000005 [#1] PREEMPT SMP [ 314.106770] Modules linked in: v3d i2cbrcmstb vc4 sndsochdmicodec gpusched drmshmemhelper drmdisplayhelper cec drmdmahelper drmkmshelper drm drmpanelorientationquirks sndsoccore sndcompress sndpcmdmaengine sndpcm sndtimer snd backlight [ 314.129654] CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.12.25+rpt-rpi-v8 #1 Debian 1:6.12.25-1+rpt1 [ 314.139388] Hardware name: Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4 (DT) [ 314.145211] pstate: 600000c5 (nZCv daIF -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ 314.152165] pc : v3dirq+0xec/0x2e0 [v3d] [ 314.156187] lr : v3dirq+0xe0/0x2e0 [v3d] [ 314.160198] sp : ffffffc080003ea0 [ 314.163502] x29: ffffffc080003ea0 x28: ffffffec1f184980 x27: 021202b000000000 [ 314.170633] x26: ffffffec1f17f630 x25: ffffff8101372000 x24: ffffffec1f17d9f0 [ 314.177764] x23: 000000000000002a x22: 000000000000002a x21: ffffff8103252000 [ 314.184895] x20: 0000000000000001 x19: 00000000deadbeef x18: 0000000000000000 [ 314.192026] x17: ffffff94e51d2000 x16: ffffffec1dac3cb0 x15: c306000000000000 [ 314.199156] x14: 0000000000000000 x13: b2fc982e03cc5168 x12: 0000000000000001 [ 314.206286] x11: ffffff8103f8bcc0 x10: ffffffec1f196868 x9 : ffffffec1dac3874 [ 314.213416] x8 : 0000000000000000 x7 : 0000000000042a3a x6 : ffffff810017a180 [ 314.220547] x5 : ffffffec1ebad400 x4 : ffffffec1ebad320 x3 : 00000000000bebeb [ 314.227677] x2 : 0000000000000000 x1 : 0000000000000000 x0 : 0000000000000000 [ 314.234807] Call trace: [ 314.237243] v3dirq+0xec/0x2e0 [v3d] [ 314.240906] handleirqeventpercpu+0x58/0x218 [ 314.245609] handleirqevent+0x54/0xb8 [ 314.249439] handlefasteoiirq+0xac/0x240 [ 314.253527] handleirqdesc+0x48/0x68 [ 314.257269] generichandledomainirq+0x24/0x38 [ 314.261879] gichandleirq+0x48/0xd8 [ 314.265533] callonirqstack+0x24/0x58 [ 314.269448] dointerrupthandler+0x88/0x98 [ 314.273624] el1interrupt+0x34/0x68 [ 314.277193] el1h64irqhandler+0x18/0x28 [ 314.281281] el1h64irq+0x64/0x68 [ 314.284673] defaultidlecall+0x3c/0x168 [ 314.288675] doidle+0x1fc/0x230 [ 314.291895] cpustartupentry+0x3c/0x50 [ 314.295810] restinit+0xe4/0xf0 [ 314.299030] startkernel+0x5e8/0x790 [ 314.302684] primaryswitched+0x80/0x90 [ 314.306691] Code: 940029eb 360ffc13 f9442ea0 52800001 (f9406017) [ 314.312775] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- [ 314.317384] Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops: Fatal exception in interrupt [ 314.324249] SMP: stopping secondary CPUs [ 314.328167] Kernel Offset: 0x2b9da00000 from 0xffffffc080000000 [ 314.334076] PHYSOFFSET: 0x0 [ 314.336946] CPU features: 0x08,00002013,c0200000,0200421b [ 314.342337] Memory Limit: none [ 314.345382] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops: Fatal exception in interrupt ]--- Before resetting the G ---truncated---

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is realistically exposed to this issue?

Exposure is limited to systems using the affected Ubuntu kernel packages and the V3D GPU driver. The listed affected packages include Ubuntu linux-aws-fips, linux-azure-fips, linux-fips, linux-gcp-fips, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-azure-fde, and linux-realtime.

What level of access does an attacker need?

The severity vector indicates local access and low privileges are required, with no user interaction required. The vector also indicates that exploitation depends on additional pre-existing conditions.

What is the expected security impact?

The reported outcome is a GPU hang and a kernel NULL pointer dereference during interrupt handling, resulting in a high availability impact. The severity vector reports no confidentiality or integrity impact.

How can I determine whether a system may be affected?

Check whether the system is running one of the listed Ubuntu kernel packages and uses the V3D driver. The failure trace identifies the v3d kernel module as involved.
