AI-suggested
A patch is available and has been incorporated into Linux kernel versions 6.14.0-1007.7 and later, as well as specific earlier versions listed in the advisory. Users should update their Linux kernel to these fixed versions and reboot to apply the fix. Due to an ABI change, recompilation and reinstallation of third-party kernel modules may be required. No additional mitigation steps are necessary beyond applying the official update.
Description
A deadlock vulnerability in the Linux kernel's accel/ivpu subsystem was fixed by correcting the locking order in the ivpu_job_submit function. The issue involved inconsistent lock acquisition order between job submission and job abort handling threads, which could cause a deadlock. This flaw affects multiple Linux kernel versions and was assigned CVE-2025-37907. The vulnerability has a medium severity rating with a CVSS score of 5.5 and impacts availability but not confidentiality or integrity. Official patches are available and included in Linux kernel updates starting from version 6.14.0-1007.7 and specific earlier versions. Users are advised to update to the fixed kernel versions to resolve the issue.
